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.

Russia doesn't have anything that can compete with US air defense systems. Nothing at all.
When the F16s arrive, Russia's own air defense will vanish in smoke & fire.
Russia SAM's are good. It's the only thing where they (can) put money. Aircraft designs are solid but they don't have "gadgets" to equip them and be competent at modern air combat.
SAMs can be good only by the dissuasive factor. Which is the point of them.
Although not sure how many operative new SAMs Russia has or can move to the front in operative state. The USSR had great technology and even sometimes was better than US tech, but they lack the means to create a reliable industry production of it. So most of the stuff stays as a few demo products but never gets to the front in full scale.
If they were actually able to field a lot of their prototypes en masse we’d be in a different world
When the F16s arrive, Russia's own air defense will vanish in smoke & fire.
Doubtful. I would love for this to be the case, but a supply of F-16s will just strip Russia of its current dominance over contested airspace. There's a reason SEAD motto is "You gotta be shittin' me"
One can hope, but we’ll see if they can be fielded in the numbers necessary to fulfill a complete roll.
