I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I know what will drop them.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Sir, we got the responses back for the RFP for a new strategic bomber.
Great captain, what did you get?
We got three proposals back. Two of them are direct copies of the B-52, but made by a different company.
Ok, and the third one.
Well sir, it's from Boeing, so it's just the B-52 but the bomb bay doors may fall off during flight.
Cunning. Extra munitions built into the airframe and deployable with minimal manual intervention. We'll take 50.
Fun Fact a cold war project the "big stick" (Nuclear powered, Nuclear ICBM) had a "problem" that it's exhaust was radioactive. Then the military said, no, that's bonus damage, it will spread radiation even over enemy cities it doesn't target, and we can fly it over more places to take advantage of that.
I heard you like to irradiate things, so I put a nuke in your nuke, so you can irradiate while you irradiate.
A project Pluto powered missile really would be the ultimate 'screw you', it could fly around enemy territory for days or more, spewing radioactive exhaust, launching warheads as it went, before finally hitting a target. Shoot it down and you have a nuclear mess, don't and you have a wider nuclear mess.
You can’t out-NCD Strategic Air Command
You mean this?

The plane itself becomes a weapon in a pinch. Now that's what I call efficiency.
