Damn, I'm sure a Mig-29 would have looked great on my lawn. Just gotta build a mount so it looks cool and dynamic

The HOA would most likely object, maybe try to get a permit from the municipality as historic landmark.

Hey friend, I have a quick tip for you!

If you have a Warplane, you get dictate terms. Your HOA could "object", but you can then make the HOA a "historic landmark" in response!

I'd bet your HOA has spent most of its money on lawn inspectors and other such leeches, and not nearly enought on AA defenses to stop you from raining warheads on foreheads

Bigger Army HOA Negotiation is the kind of shit I come here for.

Lol, ain't no such thing in germany :D

[-] uservoid1@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

So you probably have a rule about leaving defunct war machines unattended on your yard without an explicit permit for the exact model and manufacture year

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 11 points 6 months ago

As long as it is properly demilitarized it's usually fine, you might need a permit for the mount. Most of the issue would probably be leaving enough space to your plot border.

There was some brit living in germany who put a demilitarized tank on his lawn and that is still there

A guy near me has two howitzers on the lawn

I have a friend who lives near Rostock with two functional tanks

Don't you guys have a staircase that's too historic to remove but too outdated to use?

edit: Oh, HOAs, not historic landmarks. Carry on.

If they can drone-ize them and deliver them in working order to Ukraine, holy shit... Good buy! https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/04/19/us-air-force-stages-dogfights-with-ai-flown-fighter-jet/

[-] redfoxinabox@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

No need to invent new stuff, Ukraine can use them for parts, as false targets on airfields, or just repair some of them.

[-] itslilith 17 points 6 months ago

credible content? in NCD? it's more likely than you think

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Sadly, I think they're pretty far from working order. But goddamn it'd make a great lawn ornament!

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Even if none of them ran, just one could help repair dozens of other aircraft.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

Possibly just to keep Russia from flying them.

[-] Jackinopolis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Maybe that, but I was thinking that this was a purchase for Ukrainian AF who were already trained/familiar with Russian tech.

[-] atocci@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

Are there more available? How much for shipping?

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

Back when ThinkGeek was good and Woot was barely a thing, a site called IWantOneOfThose offered MIGs for sale.

I didn't get one.

[-] redfoxinabox@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Likely fake, sadly, no confirmation and ua channels say it's fake.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Kyiv post mentions it

They're probably bought to be cannibalized for parts.

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Very unlikely you can even start the engines on those things.

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.
