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.

Pilot is in stable condition thats good to hear

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah they use a near zero ejection system, can safely deploy while hovering feet above the ground, super impressive tech.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Didn't one test pilot die and 1 paralyzed when they ran the prototypes with the f15 ejector?

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

so how many millions of dollars are we looking at there?

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Oh David, still up to your old tricks I see.

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

We got a freaking meme archeologist over here. Solid reference. I accept your offer. I'll send my fastest Roflcopter to pick it up.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 6 months ago

reaches into pocket and pulls out 32 cents, a paperclip, a button and a ball of lint

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

less than nothing in so far as the cleanup will far exceed anything that might be reusable after this event.

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 5 months ago

any data obtained during crash would be pretty useful for development

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No joke airframe losses are worked into r&d, they're still beta testing if we're being honest that shit was never just limited to games.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

yeah. no aircraft expects to get through it's entire type-use life without some crashes.

Some are better than others, some are notorious for killing lots of pilots, like the f86.

some, like the osprey, are the intersection of a few accidents killing loads of people because it's hauling people and doing clever nifty tiltrotor shit in conditions it's pilots may have never experienced.

Wasn't the last F-35 crash also a B variant in VTOL mode coming in for landing?

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

It was shortly after takeoff
