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.

Russians are really bad about impersonation. Both sides keep changing their arm bands for ID because of that. That's why they're using replaceable ducktape. They're temporary. If you stick with one color, the enemy impersonates you. It's a colour code. I know that's morally wrong, but that's what's happening. There's also NO chance that helps with identifying your limb /s. I'm not a combatant, but I've been following Ukrainen info lines for a while. They talked about it once. I'll edit if I can find a source.
Edit: I can't find the example of a soldier talking about the arm bands, but here's some evidence (I saw it, but it was removed):
"During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian ground forces started to use reflective yellow armbands, similar to yellow reflective belts used in the U.S. Army.[2] Later, they switched the armband color to blue (the other color of the Ukrainian flag) to prevent Russians from infiltrating their ranks.[3]" Wikipedia
"Russian forces have used red, as well as gray, white cloth, neon green, silver reflective bands, and black and orange ribbon. The black and orange ribbon is a reference to the Order of Saint George, the highest military decoration in the Russian Federation. The colors of the ribbon are said to symbolize war's fire and gunpowder, the death and resurrection of Saint George, or the colors of the original Russian imperial coat of arms." Wikipedia
I don't blame them for hiding the exact info. Loose lips sink ships.
Edit 2: Here's an article with the person who gave the info:
