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.

Oh shit.
Beyond troops, it could also open up Ukraine to South Korea's arms market. South Korea makes a ton of artillery pieces that it doesn't sell on the international market. Becoming a cobelligerent with Ukraine could change that.
They also make this thing, which would be GREAT in the Ukrainian theatre, seeing as it’s only a few tons heavier than a T-90, but chock full of essentially current NATO-spec equipment. Also, Poland signed a deal for an absolute SHITLOAD of them (~1000 iirc - yes, a thousand), with local production options, so this would not only be an incredible way to get actual battlefield testing done with them, but also give the Korean arms industry a major cred boost. Not to mention, I would be unsurprised if Ukraine eventually figures out a joint production deal with South Korea, especially if the tanks perform well.
How would they get it there though? They'd have to get across China and Russian airspace, or go a long way around.
Nobody is airlifting a tank when introducing it to the army. They will ship it to Europe and then move it through Poland, just like everything else.
@sugar_in_your_tea @gravitas_deficiency on the sea. They could get it through the Pacific, then Atlantic through the Panama Straight and then on rail in Europe. Or, since the ice cap is melting, they could be shipping upwards through the Arctic Ocean.
@gravitas_deficiency Both Poland and Romania will buy it, so South Korea will become a hell of a supplier on the NATO's eastern flank. We are also getting 54 K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers from them.
