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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Everyone compares Putin to Hitler, but the Nazis showed up with a plan and were often successful. Putin has way more in common with Zapp Brannigan.

Late war Hitler, maybe ?
Goal is cause interger overflow in Ukrainian drones.
Somebody in russian high command really just looked at a map, noticed a section of convex frontline, and decided that it's a great place for encirclement, without giving too much thought on why it stayed like this for almost a decade or even without looking at topographic map. Apparently putin wants Avdiivka encircled before November 4th, so we're potentially in for more braindead activities in that area
btw where can i see the topographic map?
Google maps
It's fucking huge
They're trying to encircle the Ukrainian advance?
Advance? If you mean Avdiivka, then no, frontline has been there all the way back in 2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Avdiivka_(2022%E2%80%93present) Avdiivka is basically a suburb of Donetsk city
Are you Russian, friend?
Russian meat storm is a pretty good band name
What is this referring to?
The recent wave of Russian attacks that use little to no armor/vehicles and sends waves of people at an unbreakable defense to become bodies.
they did, but it didn't help them. there's a claim of 91 destroyed APCs and 34 tanks in single day, granted not all in Avdiivka, but it's highly anomalous
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Avdiivka_(2022%E2%80%93present) (top and bottom) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vuhledar (middle)
under vuhledar, russians lost well over 100 armoured vehicles overall, with such gems like: russians losing a tank with mine roller to ATGM, but pushing through minefield anyway and losing entire unit piled up in one place and blown up with AT mines, like 5 APCs burning next to each other. all caught on video
under avdiivka 2, the recent one, they lost 91 APCs and 34 tanks in single day, per ukrainian army, and it's not over
Truly a meat grinder.
