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.

Man..that's no F22, but that certainly is an F35.
True. We saw an F-22 Raptor at an air show a few years ago, and it was mind-blowing. I didn't know that a jet could do the things it was doing. I didn't even know it was possible according to the laws of physics. The thing flies like a UFO, flying saucer.
Ive never gotten to see one up close :/
i'm fortunate enough to have seen one, as well as numerous other historical planes. The dayton air museum has an f22, the streak eagle, and quite a number of other historically relevant planes in it's collection as well. Incredible place, it's in ohio, but other than that, its great.
You can spend literal days just wandering through that place looking at shit from ww1 to the cold war, and even space travel.
Closest thing I've got is DC air and space museum.
The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!
I might have actually been to that one. Is that the one with the space shuttle?
Yes and an sr-71 blackbird.
Yep! I have pictures in that one. That things huuuge
i can't say much about that one, but dayton air museum if you're ever around the midwest area is honestly one of the best places you can go. Historically it was a pretty strategically important location so it's had a lot of presence in the past. And it's pretty big as a result.
although if i had to guess, that museum is also pretty good as well.
I'll tell my wife to add it to the travel list lol
if you ever do make it down to the dayton airforce museum, i can recommend going early in the morning, as (at least last time i was there) it was basically completely dead in the morning (up until about noon), it starts to pick up more in the afternoon and it's really peaceful just walking around there without having a bunch of people or background conversation. Though it's probably worth scheduling it outside of the usual visitation hours, i think we were there on sunday/monday?
although for us we arrived on sunday later in the afternoon, and then stuck around for one more day to complete the walk through the next morning. If you got there at opening you could probably do the whole thing in one day, but it'd be rough.
The F-35 is a result of a UFO on the American diet. But it can do pushups!
