As someone who loves old and historically significant machinery, the amount of history that has been lost during this war really makes me sad. Miriya the AN225, Kommuna the 110 year old vessel that has served three iterations of the Russian government, the weird radiation proof personnel transporter they lost a few weeks ago. Even all the old tanks and personnel transporters that could have ended up in the hands of collectors, it's all stuff that has been lost, and can never be regained.

I slap myself every morning because the AN225's last flight was literally from my backyard airport to Ukraine and I didn't go see it because "it was a little chilly".

Yeah, it’s sad to see unique bits of history fall foul of the whims of a tyrant. In the same Vance, the historical sites in the Middle East being destroyed by fundamentalists is a tragedy.

I saw this ship in The Kommuna - Russia’s Bizarre 110 Year Old Warship By Calum on Youtube. Guess she was finally put to rest.

I tried googling "Russian Ship damaged or sunk Ukraine conflict" and Google came back with "Lol! Which one?"

I tried to find a list of sunken Russian warships on Wikipedia but it told me to help expand it.

Well don’t just sit there, soldier, get your controller and launch your Sea Baby.

After watching the video in this thread, the title sums up my feelings exactly.

Vova the museum robber

This is the one Russian ship I’m actually a little sad about being sunk. That thing just refused to die for so long.

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.
