A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

You might not know this, but that’s how early humans hunted birds.

If God had wanted them to live he would have given them explosive reactive armor

There wasn't much meat left after the primary detonation would pierce the soft flesh of the bird but it's tradition.

There must have been some real big birds back then for them to need rocket launchers

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

More oxygen, bigger bugs, bigger birds.

Neanderthals built the first Buick. It was the only way to take down the giant ants. The birds were relatively easy.

This is why the Big Bird species is nearly extinct

It is normal when the dinosaurs hunted like this in ancient times:

That's how I look after Mexican food

We're these birds also known as dinosaurs?

Aiming is still important obviously, but when you start training on these from the age of 6 years old it becomes just as accurate as the older non-atlatl versions

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, at our rocket launcher class for 6 year olds

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You didn't have one? Oh man, those were a blast! A shame little Timmy got his nuts blown off, but hey, that class was worth it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

His nuts are a sacrifice I am willing to make

I've never held an rpg-7, but what I know of Russian engineering is that it must be so well balanced and fly so true.

Truly unparalleled precision

(Cross cut BMP barrel)

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

it's called asymmetrical warfare, look it up westoids

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

What are you complaining? You get 3mm more material for free on 1 side!

What you’ve never heard of variable bore artillery? This lets the round juke while in flight. /s

Firing a Russian BMP [REAL] [UNEDITED]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm conflicted because I'm quite fond of that moment when someone you love tucks your hair behind your ear, but maybe less so using a bullet.

Does the thick part go at the top to prevent barrel-droop?

Or am I overthinking it?

No, it's for protection against overfly top attacks from NLAWs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's why you need higher engineering safety margins! Then it doesn't matter how square your barrels are!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That's basically how they launch rockets in Attack on Titan.
