It's Western lies. Ukraine never had ATACMs. The minor damage to 8 helicopters, an ammo depot, and more was caused by tactical Ukranian gypsy witches.

Why is that optic 6 inches off the top of that AK?

[-] Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 11 months ago

Don't question the witches' ways.

Maybe they've got a sensitive neck?

One on the left has a bipod wider than her height

Skyscraper mounts are optimal passive engagement biomechanics, as Garand Thumb's dad would say

Houses with chicken legs are surprisingly stealthy.

[-] sxt@lemmy.world 62 points 11 months ago

They really named the missiles "attack 'ems" huh

[-] nuke@yah.lol 43 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Well they said we couldn't call them Fuck 'ems anymore

[-] wwaxen@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Fully Knowledgeable Missile System.

You know, because it knows where it is.

[-] whileloop@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Precisely because it knows where it isn't!

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 5 points 11 months ago

We need to start development on the FNDOUT missile sytem.

[-] corq@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

I've only ever been a government contractor, never military myself, but you quickly learn that some acronyms were destined to be enunciated as-is, rather than spelt out.

"ATACMS" was just so natural

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 41 points 11 months ago

Losses aren't real. Russian air force aren't real.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 11 months ago

Russian air force aren’t real.

strike on Berdyansk took out 9 helis, SAM site, ammo depot and some other things, and we don't know anything about strike in Luhansk

so yeah, soon

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 months ago

peskov already cried that there's no point in supplying ATACMS if russia is losing. k we'll make sure it's losing harder

I think they assume that Ukraine support will wane over time, that the West will get distracted and stubborness alone will turn the tide.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

He's assuming that because that's what he would do in this situation, because he has the critical thinking skills of a spanner. He thinks every other politician is like him, he doesn't get that most of them are basically just constantly playing in a personality contest, which is something he's never had to do.

There's basically flat support for the war at the moment, there isn't really any interest in removing support and there isn't really any interest in granting additional support (actual military intervention, WMDs). As long as Europeans are not adversely affected by the existence of this war, the support isn't going to go anywhere.

If somebody were to turn up with some actual evidence that say we could have built 30,000 houses but instead we sent Ukraine 20 missiles, or whatever, then maybe that would turn the tide, but I don't think anybody has that data because in most countries military spending is pre-allocated.

[-] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

You could build a whole lot of houses instead of funding a war. But the houses will become someone else's.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

You do realize that the vast majority of the dollars from various countries' Ukrainian war support programs doesn't actually leave the domestic economy, right? Take the US for example; America says it'll send 50 billion USD of defense equipment, America sends that amount of equipment from it's current sites, it then buys new stuff from domestic manufacturers to replace what is now absent.

This is what is happening across Europe, as well. Ukraine gets stuff that's old, but still good enough to embarrass Russia's weapons platforms, while the donating country gets to outfit it's forces in even newer shit.

[-] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I'm 100% for giving Ukraine weapons to defend their country and European freedom indirectly. That our old weapons are better that current russian weapons is an unexpected delight

[-] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

Building housing is usually not a money issue, but a zoning issue.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 8 points 11 months ago

I'm assuming that, in this case, Russian air force history started in the 1990s

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

There where no Russia as it is today before December 1991, no matter what soveebs try to imply

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.
