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.

Is this the Russian equivalent of the Toyota Inshallah?

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This joke would easily land you in Hague for how murderous it is.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I am not a signatory to the Geneva Convention.

You guys remember /r/shittytechnicals? Maybe we should start /r/shittyreactivearmor.

[–] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lol they already have shitty ERA remember the posts from like a year ago about the ERA being replaced by cardboard or something lmao

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I think it was rubber sheets.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Plywood I think

[–] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Give /c/NonCredibleDefense a go, not too active, but some real bangers when they come through.

It looks like an ai created it. Looks like a tank if you squint, but look closer and it’s just random bullshit layered over itself

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Fake news comrade only the otherside makes Ai propaganda /s

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's a mirrored image of a line of MT-LBs with a crude pillbox on top, or ZU-23-2 AA guns on the back ones. I guess the pillbox is better than those awful turrets?

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Future crematoriums / coffins.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The poor engineers getting yelled at for not producing enough tanks just decide to build from WW1 blueprints using sheet metal and a lada engine. Probably runs on vodka

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Probably runs on vodka

That's the way to guarantee it would never have sufficient fuel.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

But it's also a way to guarantee that soldiers and technicians won't mind working on and with it. Just look at the Tu-22

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It's an excuse to bring more vodka. "Da, commander. Running on vodka means the fuel will never freeze! ~because we'll drink it too fast~

[–] Earthprototype@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Not even worth the mines they're going to blow onto...

[–] vexikron@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is... is the thing in front a ... an MT-LB, with basically a bunch of random crap taped onto it, and because the turret doesnt turn, they took out the gun ... and built what i can only describe as the hobo version of a machine gun pit for a Dshk ... on top of it?

Good fucking god. Hobo-ified MTLB.

EDIT: Derp, I mean MT-LB, originally had a stroke and confused the btr 60 with that.

[–] Geobloke@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I think that's a few pallets strapped down with some roofing and filled with filler foam

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

First one looks like a literal flakpanzer 1 with some makeshift scrap metal armor...

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, what IS under there?

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably a BMP with a shitty technical gun.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks pretty narrow for a BMP though?

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hm, i mean the two other vehicles look like BMPs as well, so idk

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Fair point, the ones behind definitely are.

Cope vehicles.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

They are future shrapnel.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I believe they are grandpa's mobile bunker

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

These things were designed by Fred Flintstone
