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.

Why does the Russian saint look so dead-eyed?
It's part of the Orthodox style of icon painting, it's quite common to have a grim/serious look. ALTHOUGH...the skull thing between her hands is something I've never seen before. I studied Byzantine iconography for a semester in college and really enjoy collecting icons/studying the genre. I've never seen anything like this. It's a warping of the style. Usually, you only see a skull in a "Memento Mori", i.e., "Remember Death" context. You might see one in an icon of the Cross at Cavalry, showing Christ's triumph there over sin and death. I've also never see an Orthodox saint pictured with wings. St. Barbara is the patroness of Artillerymen, but this version is on a whole 'nother level. She's typically holding the symbols of her martyrdom. As the daughter and granddaughter of artillerymen, I would say 1.) God is not mocked. and 2.) Get rekt Russia, that is not St. Barbara.
I mean, grim and serious I'm used to, but she's got the full snake eyes going on here. I'm more used to, like, disapproving glare
