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.

There's been so much incredible footage come out of Russia the last few days. The oil tank, multiple MANPAD missiles turning ninety degrees and heading for the nearest fire, civilians driving in front of soldiers firing machine guns.
Just incredible. What a shitshow.
They almost make the Russian Navy look competent.
Where do I find said footage?
Suchonimous on YouTube has some good coverage of it.
Lmao fantastic
I'm out of the loop - what happened exactly?
Good timing, just uploaded this: https://lemmy.world/post/48409971
or for those on sh.itjust.works: https://sh.itjust.works/post/62124969
That is so NCD it hurts.
You should repost it here, lol.
Wtf was the giant disk?
Top gas/oil storage tank
Ooooh
This is brilliant!
I've heard that this was a MANPAD and that it was a Pantsir. Do we have any info that would indicate which?
I'm inclined to think Pantsir, because whatever fired that missile was close to the refinery and you'd expect beefier defenses close in. Plus, even the Orks must realize the risk in giving private Conscripavitch a rocket launcher in proximity to thousands of gallons of oil.
Pantsir is a radar guided system, skimming the Wikipedia page doesn't bring anything up about heat seeking missiles. So, likely a heat seeking MANPAD.
basically I read a bunch of reddit comments under like 8 different posts of the various videos released
There was one thread where they attempted to actually geolocate who/what did it and he had a map with lines on it and said the first video wasn't the guy but he thinks the second video released was so I used the second video for https://lemmy.world/post/48409971
if it was first video would have looked like this: https://files.ikt.id.au/ugqbh3.mp4
tbh even if it's not 100% accurate regarding MANPAD vs Pantsir it's still funny to me :)
I do find it interesting how both missiles seem to jackknife 90 degrees after coming out as well which (again according to reddit) may be a flaw based on the factory making them
Plus, even the Orks must realize the risk in giving private Conscripavitch a rocket launcher in proximity to thousands of gallons of oil.
In https://lemmy.world/post/48409971 you can see the where's wally/red and white tower next to the refinery in the background when firing the MANPAD so there's a good chance poor private Conscripavitch is on his way to the front line in Ukraine right now 😅
Shork :3
