It would be a shame if the Feds started investigating Twitter and Tesla again.
Spaceforce with backdoors in starlink giving ukraine acces again be like:
Did that actually happen?
no
Didn't it though?
if you mean that ZSU uses starlink infrastructure now, then i suspect yes, but they basically subcontract from DoD (?) so they don't have to deal with Musk's bullshit that much. i mean no unusual shady shit involved, situation was sorted out by legal means. but also i'm guessing they got burned on this entire situation and for absolutely critical tasks prefer not to use it at all, which is technically feasible especially if you don't have to care about these pesky frequency allocations
Too serious, not enough shitpost
it's kinda big news and i thought yall need to know
I remember an old interview with Elon Musk's ex, Talulah Riley, where she said that she can't leave him because left alone he will go "king crazy". I now understand what she meant.
i wonder how their domestic tech works
that's very simple: ██████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████ ███████████ ████ ████████ ██████ ████████ █████████ ███ █ ███ ███████ ██████████ ████ ████████ █████
You are forgetting how they: █████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████ ███████████ ███ ████████ █████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██ █████
barring "rented" "commercial" satellites, i'm guessing lots and lots of repeaters. if they were able to teabag Moskva with TB-2, they can also put repeater there
Was it really a TB-2? I thought it was a shore launched anti-ship missile like the Neptune.
tldr Ukrainian onshore radar got random range buff, TB-2 was sent to investigate
i read an article that stated that Moskva was detected by an Ukrainian onshore radar. the problem is, Moskva was way out of normal range, and instead of normal propagation, it was visible at all due to tropospheric ducting, a condition that appears only in some specific weather conditions. so, i'm guessing, they sent TB-2 to confirm it was not an artifact, and when they confirmed it's a big thing like seen on radar, then they sent Neptunes (2). some early reports seemed to indicate that TB-2 was sent to distract AA radar crew while Neptunes close by, but it didn't seem to be working at all, so it's nbd at the end of the day
Okay that makes more sense. TB-2 did the ISR and the Neptunes carried out the strike
Bayraktar doesn't carry anything big enough that can harm ship like this. Neptune has 150kg warhead and two of them + ammunition fire were enough, TB-2's entire missile is like 20kg
If you ask the US nicely if you can use their satellites to control your drones while blowing up Russians, a big crate with CIA/USAF labels turns up on your doorstep, full of control devices that use nothing but "domestic tech" that use no US satellites or flying control centres whatsoever.
In a kinder world, there are also stacks of dough. Anyone remember "Bloom County"? There was a story arc from 1986/1987 when Oliver Wendell Jones and Milo have something similar happen. The kids claim to be developing a weapon for the "Star Wars" program. Giant boxes of untraceable cash start showing up on Milo's front steps in hours. It goes to their heads. The story skewered Reagan, but it was the best kind of shitposting. I grew up reading the collections and I like to think it was my first introduction to liberal media that was actually funny. I also read "Utne Reader" and "Newsweek". Did anyone else grow up thinking that being a defense contractor sounded pretty fun and glamorous?

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.
