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.

I’ve seen this movie but cannot remember what it’s from. Is it Spartacus?
Maybe I'm being wooshed, but just in case, it's from Life of Brian !
Ah that’s it. No I’d just forgotten and couldn’t remember. I love life of Brian.
Dickus longus
Eheheheheeee
Does yeeted mean shot at now? Does it not mean "tossed with reckless abandon" anymore?
If you get hit by any projectile fired from that phalanx, your body will definitely be "tossed with reckless abandon."
In various directions at once, no less
The implication being that they're being yeeted into the afterlife.
Tossed with reckless abandonment sounds like a fun time.
I assumed the punishment for piracy was no longer "walking the plank" but now "riding the shell".
THE PENIS IS BAD, THE GUN IS GOOD!
That's a phalanx gun. Unless the pirate are flying a plane, they're not getting shot by it.
It can shoot boats.
TIL thx
god you really can't feel the scale of these things from just the picture. that is insane. also BA NANA
As of block 1B, they can absolutely blast surface craft.
The current Phalanx variant (Block 1B) adds the ability to counter asymmetric warfare threats through the addition of an integrated, stabilized, Electro Optic sensor. These improvements give Phalanx the added ability to counter small high speed surface craft, aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Not with that attitude.
Damn, undress that CWIS, I gotta see her curves. Such a sexy platform.
I hope they’ve properly licensed that character design.
As someone to old to have grown up with the term yeet, the missuse of it here annoys me.
The bullets get yeeted sure. But they aren't catapulting pirates off their ship with a gun on their ship.
Not with that attittude they aren't
they aren't catapulting pirates off their ship with a gun on their ship.
You misunderstand, they are yeeting the boat and everyone aboard from this plane of existence.
Strangely hard to find volunteers willing to serve papers to a CIWS - they tend to have an extremely persuasive way of responding to bad news.
It’s AI slop
Citation needed, there are many pics of this one and no real reason to think it's AI. Also the fact that the pic is at least 3 years old from when AI slop wasn't nearly as convincing.
- The end of the barrels
- eyelets don’t seem to be connected to anything
- the rails appear above the minion for some reason
- the rails end oddly when it transitions to the minion
Huh, on closer inspection I think it was terribly AI "enhanced" at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/jdadmm/minion_ciws_lmao/?show=original There's versions of it from 5+ years ago as well as ones where the barrel looks fine https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fo0qudv7ofnq41.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa0ac0db241bcbe67a47b29fb180805f5ae58d9d
There's also another angle also from around 4+ years ago https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/phalanx-close-in-weapon-system-1-9-scale.307034/page-3 that shows a lot of the same features matching
i hate this era of people calling every photo taken with mediocre phone cameras and "enhanced" via simple filters by most mid phones in the last decade ai slop
edit: tbf this was edited/"enhanced" after that, but still
Kudos on that work :)
Thank you for doing the work I didnt have to. Id seen this image years ago before genai was a thing.
I can hear the maniacal laughing.
