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.

Ah yes, the Nuclear Chicken Disco
WTF is this, a Perun video? Way too credible.
Counterpoint:
I propose launching headcrabs everywhere via medium range ballistic missiles, and draining the Black Sea to open up new land avenues of attack toward Crimea.
Errr. Shit wrong timeline.
RAAMS has a magnetic fuze, so if it lands flat side up on a railway track, then it should destroy locomotive with its shaped charge (it can't be that different to a tank in its signature)
if train rides through, it'll get destroyed. if it doesn't, mission accomplished - that segment of track was denied to trains for the time being, then it self-destructed anyway so repairs are necessary. no downsides. the longer variant lasts 2 days, maybe there's a way to tweak it
or just drop TM-72s from drones, also with magnetic fuze
The biggest concern is that you might end up blowing up a passenger train full of civilians on accident.
I like trains.
And they don't have a backup
I mean, there's walking.
It's less fun, but if you want to move stuff badly enough, you can do it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh_trail
The Ho Chi Minh Trail (Vietnamese: Đường mòn Hồ Chí Minh), also called Annamite Range Trail (Vietnamese: Đường Trường Sơn) was a logistical network of roads and trails that ran from North Vietnam to South Vietnam through the kingdoms of Laos and Cambodia. The system provided support, in the form of manpower and materiel, to the Viet Cong (or "VC") and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), during the Vietnam War.
According to the U.S. National Security Agency's official history of the war, the trail system was "one of the great achievements of military engineering of the 20th century". The trail was able to effectively supply troops fighting in the south, an unparalleled military feat, given it was the site of the single most intense air interdiction campaign in history.
They also had bicycles, which helped a ton in moving both personnel and material. If I were going to have a guerilla army I'd issue them bikes along with their weapons and uniform.
It'd be easier to land drones on a moving train and let it carry the payload itself.
