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. 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.

I feel like this needs to be in one of those Structure Vs Doctrine alignment charts

Structure neutral / Doctrine neutral: A truck is an aircraft carrier

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 93 points 2 days ago (5 children)
Doctrine purist - must forward-deploy planes Doctrine neutral - must forward-deploy flying vehicles Doctrine radical - must forward-deploy something that flies
Structure purist - must be a ship An aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier A helicopter carrier is an aircraft carrier A missile boat is an aircraft carrier
Structure neutral - must be a vehicle A parasite aircraft mothership is an aircraft carrier A truck full of quadcopters is an aircraft carrier A self-propelled gun is an aircraft carrier
Structure radical - must be relocatable A Marston Mat is an aircraft carrier A transporter-erector is an aircraft carrier A man with a gun is an aircraft carrier

Bottom right: a beehive is an aircraft carrier

Where does "drop F-18s into the ocean" fit into all this?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 26 points 2 days ago

The crew realised that they were in the Red Sea, were all briefly possessed by the spirit of Joseph McCarthy, and immediately began deploying aircraft to fight the commie water

I wonder where cluster missiles fit into this

[–] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t that be structure neutral / doctrine purist? It’s still carrying aircraft to a theater

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Aye, fair enough.

Military science history in real time.

Could just be a tank that has drones attached to the reactive armor charges so you sacrifice some to take out other targets

If you hear a swarm of bees, you're already dead.

I wonder if there is an uptick in beephobia.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Apiphobia* but that is an interesting point

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ive seen enough footage from that war that any kind of buzzing makes me flinch.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You in Russia or something?

Or just a bad conscience?

I just watched a lot of footage

When the memes are as devastating as the attack.

How dare you not include the glorious Admiral Kuznetsov? Off to the gulag with you!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov

1985 Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier

Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov is an aircraft carrier that has served as the flagship of the Russian navy. She was built by the Black Sea Shipyard, the sole manufacturer of Soviet aircraft carriers, in Nikolayev within the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and launched in 1985, becoming fully operational in the Russian Navy in 1995.

In my head, I’ve been plotting out a scenario where a barge convoy opens up at the top and bottom to send out a combined swarm of flyers and swimmers to just fuck shit up at Kalingrad for no other reason than to yank teeth out of Russia’s military. Bonus points if the barges sink afterward or drift into bridges and explode. (Accounting for maybe a few sacrificial drone hits on the deck to scare off traffic. We’re looking to sink ships and obstruct seaways here, not indiscriminately kill civilians.)
