A guy in a safer bush with a $1k drone has a 70% chance of hitting the guy with the RPG.
A guy in a Ghillie suit with a 100$ knife has a 70% chance of stabbing the guy with the drone.
Something something... 70%... bacon cheeseburger... heart disease.
And the cheeseburger was only $5!
they were too well camouflaged so the tank crew couldn't see them and backed over them reversing out of the drive
It's turtles all the way down
Dude with a 2000 dollar thermal sight is gonna clap the guy with a javelin. Also any tank made by a competent nation (i.e.: not russia) will have thermal sights on their tank specifically to find some fuckboi on the bushes with a vibecheck tube.
Not to mention the myriad of other anti AT weapon tech like all the warning systems, IR smoke, and trophy systems. Now the Abrams X is real heckin fright
If you have a handful of tanks, your enemy has to spend a lot of effort on getting rocket launchers. Not just buying them, but also the logistics strain to get them to the frontline.
And if you notice the enemy forgot to bring their launchers, you can deploy your tanks, and exploit their mistake.
Mass tank assaults are over. But using them as an integrated part of a force still makes sense to me.
Just run over the fucker if he's only 200m away.
Tanks are obsolete. Embrace killdozer.
It didn’t turn out well last time.
Friendly reminder that Marvin Heemeyer was a damn lunatic, in case there's any killdozer enthusiasts here. If he didn't kill anyone other than himself, it wasn't for lack of trying. He had every reason to believe there were fucking children in that library, and he wanted them dead. Fuck Marvin Heemeyer, may be rot in hell forever.
CIWS for every tank. Do it.
10 dudes in a bush vs 10 dudes in a bush.
Time to start a bush selling business. They gonna be in high demand.
"Welcome to the Raytheon farm!"
Or an agent orange business.
We can fit more in one bush... Get the Clowns.
Oh no, are tanks obsolete again?
Russia will pivot on it at some point. Closer they come to running out, the more they'll look for an excuse around not fielding them.
meh tanks are the prime beasts of urban combat
Isn't urban combat the environment where tanks are the most poorly suited?
pretty sure theyd be worse in space
I've heard that submarines win vs tanks in all engagements at 120 meter below sea
Submarines would also outperform tanks in space.
Randall Moore (xkcd author) wants to remind everyone turning the missiles around for maneuvering to remove the warheads. Can't link the xkcd because it's in a physical book.
NonCredibleDefense
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.
