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.

If anyone is wondering, it's the iron beam.
Edit: here's extra evidence : (45 seconds, in) https://youtu.be/RF6eHC4JBXA?si=n03ib5E1ONgexQns
Hell March intensifies...
Most likely yes since there's no interceptor missiles visible, but the streaks of light are still just glare from a dirty lens. The first two projectiles were killed by two separate lasers because it takes a bit for a laser to heat its target up.
What, lobbed by a trebuchet?
This is just somebody's grimy phone camera seeing streaks of light around the bright flashes. You get these when you wipe your lens carelessly with linear movements. It's a funny coincidence that the two flashes happen to allign in the direction of these streaks.
You can see the same effect in the bottom left corner of the screen when the view briefly pans left, around what might be an off screen streetlight.
No, that's a 100kw laser superheating the air. You are looking at a vapor trail like the railgun from Quake.
Could well be Iron beam (especially since we see no interceptor missiles around), but there's two of them here because one laser can't take out two targets at the same time, and the streaks of light are not from the lasers.
The (surface-to-)space laser. That's what they meant all along.
I got the video from the funny alien website https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/178l5zv/ladies_gentleman_and_assorted_folks_i_present_to/
