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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

I hate maps that don't have North as up. Why why why.
As for this, usually there are rivers that drain into seas. You need to have a plan for those too. Here is the drainage basin for the baltic sea:
So no not feasible.
Alternate plan (as it would be a shame to waste a dam): Keep the dam, flood the Baltic sea until Kaliningrad is under water?
Where is that map from? At least two of the Finnish rivers are titled with the name of a tributary, but with the correct name.
Found on duck duck go images, vividmaps.com which looks like random maps.
Are you Finnish? I have a question if you are.
What's the question?
So the US, Canada, and Finland just joined an icebreaker design consortium. And I'm wondering why Finland knows icebreakers. Do they need them in the baltic?

Doesn't really fully answer the question, but yeah basically we have a lot of ice and shipping routes on the coastlines both west and south
Interesting, thanks.
Yeah, the northern parts of the gulf of Bothnia tend to freeze up during the winter.
Have traveled to Finland a couple of times and one of those rivers was familiar to me.
Even when it makes the body of water look like a velociraptor?
That's a shame. I like the dam plan.
It was damned from the start.
Even worse when there's no compass that indicates north.
But there's a chance that, cut off from the sea, the water collected wouldn't be enough to offset losses (evaporation, etc), right? Kind of like how the Mediterranean was dry when it was cut off from the Atlantic?
Well, no, its too far north for that to happen.
A telling sign is that the baltic sea gets less salty the further you go away from its connection to the north sea. That means that the water is flowing out of the baltic sea, so putting a dam there would only slowly rise the sea level.
What if it was a hydroelectric dam?
