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.

I'm not normally one to ask the obvious questions, but how? What actually happened, do you have the story behind this?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've bumped things with a kayak on the roof of my car before, because the boat overhangs the vehicle.

Given how long the barrel is, I can see how this might happen. Or they were in the wrong gear.

That's what I'm betting too, the driver was asked to put it to the side so something esle could access the garage but they forgot that the cannon extends much further out than the rest of the tank.

Tanks don't exactly have spacious windows.

Oh sorry, in the US it's classified as a light truck.

This is barely heavier than a bicycle!

Only if you mean your mom.

Self-propelled howitzer, looks like a french AMX AuF1, uses the chassis of the AMX-30 tank.

but how?

I doubt its real. Look at the hole and the angle of the barrel. You would have to start with a lowered barrel and raise it while you drive trough to keep that hole so small.

It might have started with a lowered barrel and there might be a hidden girder under the barrel which raised the whole tank up as the barrel slid forward over that girder. The tank does look like it's leaning back on its suspension.
