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.

Everyone compares Putin to Hitler, but the Nazis showed up with a plan and were often successful. Putin has way more in common with Zapp Brannigan.

Goal is cause interger overflow in Ukrainian drones.

Somebody in russian high command really just looked at a map, noticed a section of convex frontline, and decided that it's a great place for encirclement, without giving too much thought on why it stayed like this for almost a decade or even without looking at topographic map. Apparently putin wants Avdiivka encircled before November 4th, so we're potentially in for more braindead activities in that area

They're trying to encircle the Ukrainian advance?

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Advance? If you mean Avdiivka, then no, frontline has been there all the way back in 2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Avdiivka_(2022%E2%80%93present) Avdiivka is basically a suburb of Donetsk city

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

btw where can i see the topographic map?

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Google maps

It's fucking huge

What is this referring to?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The recent wave of Russian attacks that use little to no armor/vehicles and sends waves of people at an unbreakable defense to become bodies.

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago

they did, but it didn't help them. there's a claim of 91 destroyed APCs and 34 tanks in single day, granted not all in Avdiivka, but it's highly anomalous

under vuhledar, russians lost well over 100 armoured vehicles overall, with such gems like: russians losing a tank with mine roller to ATGM, but pushing through minefield anyway and losing entire unit piled up in one place and blown up with AT mines, like 5 APCs burning next to each other. all caught on video

under avdiivka 2, the recent one, they lost 91 APCs and 34 tanks in single day, per ukrainian army, and it's not over

Truly a meat grinder.
