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.

Our Air Force is... Well lemme just say this.

We had an RCAF base run out of paper a lil over 10 years ago and they had to start reusing paper and printing on the flip side.

Lol .... Pinned a cake bake sale on a notice board at the Air Base for families ... flip over the sheet and the other side is filled with text and the header reads TOP SECRET

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're not super far off, just a different type of 'classified'. Confidentiality. There was a situation where someones health records were on the flipside of a page that was one of many being distributed.

The Royal Canadian Air Farce .... they probably didn't need to use any imagination for that show

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Loved that show. Wish I could find the old episodes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Were they ever released on DVD, or such? I would also like to see some old episodes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

they probably didn’t need to use any imagination for that show

Nope.

It's been redacted, it'll be fine...

Once they teach the mounties' horses to fly, then they will be a fearsome force

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This is the real reason for the US military budget. We're the only thing keeping Canada contained right now and bro I don't even know anymore. These motherfuckers have flying horses now? then what? Flying moose? Oh god help us what if they team up with the fucking geese???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The geese are already working for the government, covertly scouting landing areas in the US. Soon enough all the golf courses and large grassy parks are going to be improvised Canadian airstrips, I swear to God.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

and geese are already flying. mr president, we cannot allow for a bird gap

Hey, at least Canada's not Switzerland.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's what happens when politicians mess with procurement processes whenever they think they can make political or personal gain from it. They do it a lot too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That happens all the time, and everywhere, not just in Canada. It's why the US defense industry is spread out among all the 50 states, so that everybody can insist that their district gets part of the defense spending.

What's happening with Canada is a lot worse, but it's also not unusual for countries that are small but are part of a coalition that allows them to rely on other countries to protect them.

Its just so hard to decide theres so many options!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

there are not, F-35 is second to none. complement that with survivable missile truck like F-15EX or F-16 if you don't really need the former, and that's all you need. not having F-35s is a huge disadvantage

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Ok but a Gripen or Rafale would be cool anyway for the lols

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I gotta say, Canada. It's a little embarassing when you're buying our old shit.

But you are landlocked by the US which is a deterrent in itself. That's kind of what NZ does with being next door to us. What with their airforce of....checks notes...Yeesh. A handful of AW109s and some transport/patrol. I assume at least one of those things has some sort of weapon.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the famously landlocked country of Canada.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Fine. Partly land, partly ice, little bit of water... But only a little.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm stupid and read that as party land

Canada, party land 🇨🇦😎

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Where the moose get loose!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Being next to ~~the US~~ Gilead is quickly becoming a liability, not a deterrent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Basically.

Remember we bought subs with screen doors cause they were cheap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

We gave Bombardier 1.3 billion in funding for the CSeries, straight from Québec's worker pockets. They turned around and gave the control of the CSeries to Airbus, just a few month after. Bombardier's CEO was given a huge perfomance bonus that year. Who are the suckers again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Man don't remind me. Were so stupid.
