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.

they have sent other munitions from other sources fairly deep into russia, i believe the submarine dock attack was with a storm shadow missile, and at least one drone attack, the obvious one being the kremlin bombing, as well other other sourced materials they can find. They've been doing it whenever accessible and possible. Oh and obviously the recent offensive into russia itself.
The obvious example is the ATACMs missile, but i believe that was post restriction.
to be clear here, i'm not saying they broke the US restrictions, i'm saying they broke the "taboo" on firing into russian territory.
The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.
sevastopol is in crimea right? Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory? Crimea is annexed by russia, there was a whole thing around this when it happened. I know ukraine contests this and wishes to get it back, but currently for most intents, and most purposes, crimea is a part of russia.
You can make up your own mind, but that's a strong yes to me:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Crimea#Stances
i guess i'd probably define it by either governmental ties, although i believe crimea was closer to a territory of ukraine, than an actual part of ukraine, and whether or not the government itself has some sort of significant influence in that region.
Geo politics is fun.
I guess the other alternative is digging through the history of ukraine and crimea to see if they ever established any sort of relationship that you could use as a basis for a modern claim of "ownership"
Crimea and Sevastopol both had majority votes for independence in 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum
naturally post USSR implosion it gained independence. I feel like i'd probably leave crimea up for debate at the moment tho. I could see it going either way depending on how you classify it's relationship to ukraine.
Ya I'm with you there, they have broken so many taboos (or as the russians call it, red lines), tanks, western help, javelins, hitting oil depos, substations (but that was retaliation I guess), ...
What about a kremlin attack? I only know about a staged one with a drone from IDR like 2022?
oh was the drone attack on the kremlin staged? I remember hearing that as a possibility, but i never looked into it after the fact.
