A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
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.
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.
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
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.
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.
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
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.
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.
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.
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.

+3 Dildo of listening, requires attunment
The Dildo or listening grants its user advantage on all perception checks using sound. When attuned to the Dildo of Listening you cannot be suprised and gain +5 to initiative. If you also have the alert feat your hearing range is extended to 70 miles. Once per round you may as a bonus action 'mark' an airborn enemy giving all of your allies advantage on ranged attacks againt that target until your next turn.
The heck is that?
I gotchu boo
Ahhh right, I didn't recognize it from a photo but I've read of it.
It's annoying that so many sources are calling VERA-NG a "radar" when it's specifically not a radar: it's a fully passive system, it only receives and doesn't emit. Hell, even the Wiki article is titled VERA passive sensor
Its not even very similar to a radar.
Radar can totally be passive, and if you're flying above enemy territory, it's a really good idea to use passive radar and not active radar (the latter of which is used for some guided missile platforms).
In fact, active radar means everyone with passive radar knows where (and probably, what) you are.
Oh interesting, although that does make complete sense. I'm an old sigs pig so I'm not too clued in on this stuff honestly
Radiolocation can be passive radar can not. Radar requires one or more transmitters and one or more receivers.
One of the primary sensors on F16 (simulators in the early 1990s) was a passive radar — called that — that detected and pointed at those things trying to ping my plane.
Since it detected transmissions outside effective range, it meant I tracked them sooner than they tracked me, much the way automotive radar detectors have different warning sounds for when they sense radar around somewhere and when the car is being pinged directly.
Technically (the best kind of correct!) There is a transmitter in these cases, just not controlled by the same source as the detector.
I suspect radiolocation isn't restricted to radar signals but can track stars and radio stations. Though they too transmit.
Just because they dumbed down what a radiolocation sensor is and called it passive radar doesn't make it a radar. RADAR was an acronym radio detection and ranging. Passive systems triangulate that is different than ranging. For ranging to work you need the transmitter and receiver to cooperate.
The Dildo of consequences
Then let's hope it can help penetrate Russian lines.
i believe that is an Imperial Probe Droid before it unpacks itself
It’s an advanced radar system
As I said in another comment, I didn't recognize it from photos but I've read of the VERA system. It's actually specifically not a radar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERA_passive_sensor
So the rod can be elongated
It's a grower, not a shower
It does not appear to be lubed
You steal people's lives, this steals your bunghole, General Embezzlovich.
What is it?
Great idea, but we did it first... (Some rando threw a big floppy dildo at a politician around the time the TTPA free trade agreement was being negotiated)
Thank you, democracy fans in the Netherlands!
