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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Three grams of explosive on a custom board, that they can detonate at will.

Kinda terrifying actually.

I feel like this should unironically be a war crime. The potential for collateral is ridiculously high.

Edit: I'm amazed at how successfully this is being spun as a highly-targeted, high-precision attack with no collateral when it's pretty much the opposite. You can't control what they do with the pagers after they get them. Ffs there were kids killed.

Imagine if one of those pagers had been on a plane...

An ounce of high explosive won't take down a plane. Even at cruising altitude.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It may not take it down but it would likely not end well. Also an ounce of certain explosives is a lot more destructive than others.

If the pilots each had one and they were sitting on the flight console when boom boom

I dunno, did you see the picture of what happened to the pager that was on the table? I could see that going through a few mm of aluminium.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would someone be holding their pager against the wall of a plane?

If you're sitting in a window seat your pocket is pretty much against the hull.

That's a horrifying thought. You are a gonner at that point
