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.

Flying cars seem like a great idea, but considering how shit everyone seems to be at driving in 2 dimensions I’m very nervous about the idea of giving them a 3rd.

9/11 2.0 is just one drunken driving incident away

tedious flight instructor noises

What's the context of this?

The Russians captured a knocked-out Leo cowardlily abandoned by its Ukrainian crew, who refused to splatter all over the crew compartment like Russian MEN. In celebration of this astounding victory, they took it back to Russia as a trophy, and demonstrated their superiority over Westoid 'technology' by bending the barrel with a big weight. Take that!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago

I'm literally quaking in my boots right now after this impressive demonstration of the inherent superiority of Glorious Mother Russia™. Maybe we should surrender now!

My buddy from high school works with tanks for the army. I’ll be sure to let him know he needs to watch out for the new Russian technology of luring tanks under comically large blocks of steel suspended by crane.

Truly a devastating weapon

Cutting edge technology from the Wile E. Coyote War Institute.

[–] xx3rawr 5 points 3 months ago

I'm sure that block of weight is supplied by the world's foremost weapons manufacturer, Acme.

wile e coyote is shaking with excitement rn

[–] Vendetta9076 17 points 3 months ago

Thats... Somehow even dumber than I thought it would be. Glory to Russia.

[–] verity_kindle 4 points 3 months ago

I'm terribly inspired by it, just over the moon.

UNKNOWN TECHNOLOGY! [crush]

Slowly pushing the cannon down, truly a horrible execution.

[–] verity_kindle 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Couldn't that tank be scavenged for parts? Even a barrel with proper tolerances would be valuable, in a land in which precision machining seems to be unknown...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

In principle yes, but ruzzia uses a different calibre on their MBTs.

standardised designs are prolly more efficient in the long run

An Iron Curtain has descended across… hold on, I’m being informed it is only an Iron Brick.

Oh the humanity

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Flying cars need new physics or a ZPM per car and steering AI isn't there yet in 2D, so that's why.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Brrrrr brrrrr...

Animal cruelty.
