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.

"Good war for non-credible defense innit?" - Winston Churchill, probably.
Clockwise, starting from the top left:
Cluster bombs of 30,000 poisoned sewing needles:
Darts made from sewing needles and other materials, and containing a potent poison (possibly anthrax), were to be dropped over enemy targets by aircraft in specially designed cluster bombs.
The darts weight about 4 grams and when dropped from high altitude could penetrate two layers of clothing and human flesh, reportedly "for six inches until stopped by bone".
It was estimated that up to 30,000 needles could be packed into the cluster bombs.
Scientists of the infamous biological warfare site Porton Down were tasked with developing the poison for the darts.
The project was withdrawn in 1945.
- A diagram of the dart is shown above
The UP - unrotated projectile:
The original UP was a naval weapon consisting of a twenty tube rocket launcher.
The rockets were launched to a distance of about 300 meters, where they exploded and released an 8.4 oz (240 g) mine attached to three parachutes, by 120 meters of wire. An airplane hitting the wire would draw the mine towards itself, where it would detonate; thereby neutralizing the aircraft.
In one test aboard HMS Hood, the lines became entangled on the ship from shifting wind, causing damage.
It was withdrawn from service in 1941 because it was retarded.
Ironically, it closely resembles the later developed and credible, RIM-116 missile launcher.
Hafner Roatabuggy:
A Willys jeep combined with a rotor kit, designed to be towed behind an aircraft - a flying Willys jeep.
The introduction of towed glider aircraft led to the project being canceled.
Exploding rats:
Conceived in 1941, the British Special Operations Executive decided to slaughter 100 rats, and fill the carcasses with plastic explosives and a trigger mechanism.
The plan was to distributed the rat bombs near the boiler rooms of German factories and other important sites. They reasoned the rats would be found and thrown into the furnace, where they would detonate and in turn cause the boiler to explode.
The explosive rats never saw use because the first shipment of rat bombs was intercepted by the Germans. However, the Germans search for more booby-trapped rats consumed German resources, so the SOE decided their operation was a big success.
The Panjandrum (spinning cart of death):
A large rocket propelled two-wheel cart, packed with explosives.
It was designed to breach fortified defenses of the Nazis Atlantic Wall, and to be deployed from landing craft.
In theory, Panjandrum would quickly roll up the beach and crash into enemy defenses.
The project was canceled shortly after testing, as it proved to be inaccurate and dangerous to use - veering off course and targeting its owners.
Project Habbakuk:
The plan for an oversized mega aircraft carrier made out of pykrete (a mixture of wood pulp and ice). The carrier would operate in the mid-Atlantic, and conduct ASW (anti-submarine warfare) operations in the defense of Atlantic convoys. The project's name was originally a misspelling of the Biblical Habakkuk.
It was the brainchild of eccentric inventor Geoffrey Pyke - which pykrete is named after, although Pyke did not invent pykrete.
The project initially received approval, and was allegedly enthusiastically supported by Winston Churchill.
However, it was plagued by extensive cost overruns and an enormous effort in resources and time. The introduction of escorts carriers and longer range aircraft further rendered habbakuk as redundant.
The project was canceled in late 1943.

Nice argument, however I have already portrayed myself as the Delightful Churchill Potluck and you as the Seething Hitler Pie
