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.

Why would they have a tether on the drone? Seems to me you'd get more range if it was unleashed.

Leash laws

/cred to bypass signal jamming I guess. Wire-guided missiles work like this with miles of fiber optic line. I just can't imagine the logistics of such a cable working on a drone. Truly noncredible

To be absolutely clear TOWs use copper wire.

[–] obre@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

If they wanted to be absolutely clear, they should definitely use optical fiber over copper

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

That is economic assistance to rebuild after the battle. Cash for copper, it's got to be safer than robbing substations.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

If you went with copper, sure you'll be even more limited in range, but you could send power too, so it would be trade off.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Please be considerate and pick up your drones leavings. Let's keep this battlefield clean

UNLEASH THE DRONE

[–] SmoothIsFast@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tethers can't be jammed. Electronic warfare is a serious concern.

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

And how would you go about jamming a tether?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

After extensive testing under DoD contract, I found strawberry works best.

Only one man would dare give me the raspberry!
