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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Good luck. We have totally credible intel from NORAD that Santa's max speed is faster than starlight.

Good luck targeting someone who can be at multiple places at the same time. That guy operates in eleven dimensions.

hah! The 1993 documentary The Nightmare Before Christmas already conclusively proved that Santa can't even evade regular ol' flak

Don't worry, Santa has countermeasures.

I would honestly bet on the ancient flying wizard.

When the missile is about to strike Santa's sleigh he opens his bag of tricks and inside it goes into an extra dimensional space. Then later he gives a nice missile, refueled and deactivated with a bow on it, to a Ukrainian artillerist who's been good this year.

I picture battle hardened soldier sleeping, sitting down, with arms around ballistic guides surface to air missile the way a child might hug a stuffed animal.

And whoever fired the missile gets radioactive coal ash dumped all over them.

You do not want the elves to find the location of your instalation

Fat man's not just hypersonic, he's superluminal.

I love when weapons are called Patriot.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Especially when their job is to rush at the enemy and explode themselves.

C-RAM looks more Christmasy at night

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

We've been trying to get him for over half a century

i don't think a sleigh and some reindeer gives off enough heat or bounces enough radar for anything to lock onto it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Also the calculated speeds, to be able to deliver presents all over the world on a single night are enormous. And with amazing maneuverability, too!!

[–] Rednax 1 points 6 months ago

The Patriot system uses radar guidance. Radars can easily spots individual birds. A sixpack of reindeer, a sled, and one fat ass riding it should lit up like a chrismas tree for the radar.

However, according to the picture, OP only has the missiles, but no radar to guide them. In other words: he has dead weight that can't hit shit.

You're forgetting about Rudolph: https://www.noradsanta.org/en/noradhq

According to NORAD, Rudolph's nose emits in a similar part of the IR spectrum as conventional missiles.
