NonCredibleDefense
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. 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.

why would you ring a doorbell in the middle of the woods?
One time I went to Egypt and there was just a random ass power outlet on a rock in the desert. To this day I have no idea why it was there or if it was connected to anything
Do you happen to be a buff japanese guy's senile grandpa?
I like to think if fairies had access to a doorbell and explosives, they'd absolutely rig something like this.
"Don't ring a doorbell in the forest" sounds like some fairytale cryptid shit
Ring doorbells have built in motion detection cameras, they do not necessarily need to be "rung"
I just find it funnier that they have to ring the bell. Human nature to press the button.
Also thinking about it I have a doorbell like that and it rings every time a bird flies past. It is supposed to not detect birds, leaves and people driving past on the road, it's supposed to only detect humans but it 100% doesn't work. I can totally see something like this malfunctioning and just going off because a leaf got blown past it.

We're very lucky that they're so fucking stupid
Why would you not?
It's how you find the stairs.
You wouldn't? I'd ring it without a second thought, especially if it said "do not touch"
Do not press this button if you press this button it will detonate the bomb.
"Oh, I wonder if it really will. I'm just going to press it a little bit."

you wouldn't?
Its a wireless camera door bell, called "ring". No idea if this is real but i assume you could set something like this up to be either motion detection activated(like a mine) or remote activated by looking at the camera feed.
Apparently it was just a doorbell, if we take this X post for truth: https://twitter.com/yurapalyanytsia/status/1775888680215024124
it was just dumb switch on a tree, not a ring
That makes it even more comical. Like a Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes skit.
If you need it remote activated you'd need wifi as well, which makes it kind of complicated to set up with lots of moving parts.
it was a dumb switch, not an amazon ring
That makes more sense, and is actually way funnier.
3G SIM router nearby, done
I can think of about 500 easier ways to do this. I can't imagine them doing it the complicated way, when the easy way works just as well, costs less, and is less prone to malfunctioning.
What if the enemy doesn't come by in the 2 hours the battery would last streaming video this way?
It doesn't stream video full time, it detects motion and then let's you optionally turn on video. (Maybe that changes if you have zonal movement detection but it's probably locally processed)
Now you need to somehow power that. Also, how reliable is 3G around the front line, you think?
Russians deliberately don't attack telecom infrastructure now, because they did initially before discovering it was actually necessary for their own military comms.
Mobile routers can last 12 hours and handle a handful of connections, you can probably supplement them with a usb battery bank too.
Or if there is grid power within WiFi range it's not an issue. Or there may be more quiescent current models designed for IoT applications (like wind sensors in trees which may have poor signal coverage), I don't know
What is hotspot? How does connection form?
