SCS already went to the trouble of making a Russian map DLC, and they promptly shit canned it when a certain special military operation started.

Maybe it wouldn't be too hard to dust it off...

I think this classifies as an Eurasian spinoff. Now with possibility for a relaxing drive through thousands of kilometres of nothingness before the trip ends up in fireworks.

So, does anyone have a news article that explains all this?

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 34 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not yet, but compiling all rumors I've heard so far: Ukraine drove trucks full of drones to different airbases in Siberia, once there, they managed to access the local phone service to navigate ~100 drones and hit the targets. So it was a perfect coordination of hacking, intel, undercover, drone operation and opsec :D

russian outlets reported:

Russian Strategic Aviation intercepts hundreds of Ukrainian drones.

Russia had one third of their strategic bombers wrecked by the drone attack. Yes, one third. No, not a typo.

Quick thinking using their bombers to intercept the drones

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago

I'll keep an eye out for that. Also, apparently the truck drivers were completely unaware of the nature of their cargo.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

It's definitely plausible. I'm not sure exactly what sort of system they use in Russia, but I'd guess truckers the world over are frequently sent to new places with vague instructions to follow once you're there.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

That could also be a wee story, so the Russians will stop looking for someone still in Russia. But I suspect it's the truth.

Siberia, near cola, irkutsk(or does that count as siberia?) and outside moscow...

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

The paper noted that the US B61-12 air-launched tactical thermonuclear bombs, each equivalent to 300 tonnes of TNT

That’s 300 killotons, not 300 tons. Literal order of magnitude difference.

Edit: several orders of magnitude; a whole new SI prefix is required.

The best kind of correct.

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.
