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.

DCA broke me because I know about 90% of those buttons and switches

I always dream of the one day where I'm in a situation where I'd have to operate one for some dire reason, and I can just glide through the operations.

Until physics kick in and suddenly I'm nosediving no matter how many switches I press

It'll always still be a MiG.

Does anyone know why the Russians use that blue color in their cockpits?

It's to calm the pilot so they don't panic before being vaporized out of the sky by AIM-120's from BVR 100 miles out

Looks like the Boeing factory paint color

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Hexavalent chromium primer. It's probably just their default color.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe less glare from reflection of sunlight?

[–] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I read at one point it was thought the color would help keep pilots as alert as possible.

A few shades greener than turquoise, I'd say

But a MiG-21 is
