All meetings should be like this.

Or it could carry an iron wedge underneath, land in the track, weld the wedge using thermite, and fly away. Then you wait for the train to derail.

Or you can fly multiple drones l, land them on the track, deploy large amounts of c4 or thermite, fly away and then detonate the payload to destroy the track.

Or detonate the payload beneath a train to destroy both the train AND the track

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's what I thought, keep it simple.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 12 points 2 months ago

I was hoping for a drone hut with chicken feet, but this works fine too.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

No, those don't fly. You're thinking of a mortar and pestle.

[-] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's already deployed near Sudzha. There's only one....but then, you only need one.

Good ted talk. Sending to Zelensky

This is ludicrous over-engineering.

You land on the train in-motion, then blow it up at a random time along its journey. The range of any train is much further than the range of any drone.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I think the idea is that you ride the track to extend the range of the drone since train tracks are much more efficient than flying in terms of battery usage.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Ahhh, that would be much better. Though a drone wide enough to straddle a Russian rail gauge sounds pretty beefy. I guess it'd already be a serious affair, if it's carrying enough munitions to delete a train in motion.

I still think it'd be simpler and smarter to plant time-bombs on top of trains and fly back.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yes but is it... for lack of a better term... florkable?

[-] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

On a different note, I think they should use RC cars as well, I mean could you imagine what the Russians think when a lighting Macqueen RC car comes rolling into their trench with a Grenade attached to it

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Why the wheels? It could just sit on the tracks and wait

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, but then it would only work if the train was going towards it.

(In case you missed the irony here somehow, you could shell a damn train just about as well, they're not sneaky or hard to follow)

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Why use four wheels when two is fine? You already have all the makings of a control moment gyro, and a hyperspace pirate just posted on youtube how to make a gyro-monorail.

[-] aaaaace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

That's the hard way...does Zelinsky have a Signal account?

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.
