It's just extremely funny, worst day for r*ssian strategic aviation ever. Achieved by: short range fpv drones and trucks
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.

Worst day for ruzzian stratetic aviation so far
Nah, best day. Cuz their strategic aviation ceasing to exist would be for the best.
Russian news now call this "A teRroRiStIc AcT" though.
Which is actually hilarious because in what world is attacking military targets that are used for military operations against Ukraine stationed on a military site “terrorism”
The mental gymnastics performed for this are actually quite impressive
When there were news about Russian airstrikes that killed Ukrainian civilians in last few weeks, I've seen folks on some certain part of Lemmy discuss it as "Well, what did Zelensky expect after Ukrainians terrorizing Moscow oblasts few days earlier".
And thing is - it was well documented what did Ukraine hit - with videos showing that it certainly wasn't some apartment complex, but it seems that mental gymnastics sticks to some people and that you can't really reason with tankies.
They had an ~80% loss in one day, there's still room for a 100% loss in one day
At worst they lost close to 30% of their strategic fleet, crippling blow (they can't manufacture new ones) but not fatal.
Didn't bother to look up the numbers just for a joke, but apparently the planes hit were the ones prepared for take-off, so it might actually still be close if enough of the remaining planes weren't airworthy
