I don't know how any country can justify their military budget when you can supply your entire army with a trip to Walmart.

By now I am convinced either McGyver was of ukranian heritage, or Ukrainian TV programs for kids is entirely reruns of McGyver. One or the other. Amazing.

it's pretty amazing that cell towers haven't been targeted by either side

i remember something about the russians targeting them in the first few weeks.

it turned out that their own encrypted comunication channels relied on the gsm network,
and they had to fallback to unencrypted radios.

Sounds like average corruption-caused incompetence. Wich sounds legit.

I think everyone is mutually reliant on cellular service.

Their goal is annexation as well, meaning that Russia wants to keep as much infrastructure intact as they can.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

The goal was Putin staying in power and "dropping concrete slab on enitre nation".

It also turns out that small metal poles are a lot harder to functionally kill compared to, say, an airplane or human

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

They are mostly concrete

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. 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.
