The blades of the shithook are so perfectly sharp they sliced right through the sails of that boat and you can't even see them move before the camera's already moved on

the shithook

Hey some folks find tandem rotors attractive, there's no need for bigotry.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

It's tandem, not bi-rotory.

Those aren't helicopter blades; Boeing forges eight oversized Kitanas and epoxy glues them to the flywheel, hence the 30 million dollar price tag.

Is the Chinook actually bad?

[-] Firoaren@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

As someone who's been on one, lemme tell ya,

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago

Do not challenge helicopter pilots.

They're all crazy.

I have always been fascinated by chinooks ever since i was a little kid. There is just something so raw and powerful with this aircraft that really vibes with me.

really vibes with me

Just watch out for the ground resonance.

I think this is a render. There is no water disturbance from the helicopter.

[-] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 days ago

Quite certain it is not a CGI, doing this good of a CGI would be more expensive than just getting some to fly the helicopter.

The "too stable" comments do not realize that two vehicles filming each other with roughly same speed just look stable.

If you would fake it, the camera would have not done those rotations etc, because that makes CGI much more complex. And there is no faked camera shake/zooms/focus changes that in general happen in all faked videos.

There is at the end, in the last second or two. The back ramp is down and the crew chiefs are having a blast. Rotor wing would def do this. I vote real

[-] Varyag@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah this ABSOLUTELY is a render. The way it moves too stable compared to the boat shaking around is a dead giveaway, and the rotor blades are way too crisp

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure it's real. You can tell because it was posted in NCD.

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

That pilot has a deathwish, and proud about it.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Afaik that's is a base requirement for Chinook pilots - the pilots vibe must match the machines.

[-] kalpol@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

He's already dead. The rotor wash isn't touching the water

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.
