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.

Maybe I misunderstood, but this is true...
There are parts in the system forty times cheaper than the parts we buy normally. I can give you even a scoop—it contains the world's only missile components from Toys R Us... One day I brought to work my sons toy car. We Passed it among us, and we saw that there were actually components suitable for us. More than that I can not tell
It seems a bit weird that they wouldn't just buy the components rather than the whole toy car, could be to get around not being allowed to buy directly from China as a defence contractor or something?
Or maybe Chinese factories not being allowed to sell to a US defense contractor?
Or maybe its just cheaper because of the quantities of the components they need and if ordering them directly they get overpriced.
Or maybe its to make it more difficult for spys to work out what components they're using.
Nah, buying direct would raise questions and most companies don't particularly want to actually be weapons suppliers. Tamiya who they're probably actually taking about would be unlikely to sell to Israel anyway given the Japanese governments stance on Israels relationship with it's neighbors.

Anyone else remember the myth about M16 handguards being made by Mattel?
Wow! Found conflicting info with a quick search, but I'm rolling with Snopes as it makes plain sense.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/m-16-made-mattel/
But maybe they did make the handguard only? Weird I've never run across this.
So hilarious that drone companies are now members of the military industrial complex. Any guesses who's gonna join next? Condiment brands? Ice-cream maker creators?
Didn't Toys R Us get eaten by Bain Capital?
For some reason they still exist in Israel (that is AFAIK, I don't go to shopping centers that much). And I think this was before the closure

NO NO NO NO NO PLEASE AAAAAAA
