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. 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.

HALLELUJAH!
The classic denying of aerial superiority through oversaturation of the environment with projectiles, also known as pray & spray.
Then we will drone in the shade.
I thought it was spray first, pray second
Seems more like a short term solution unless you have a huge ammo budget.
Seriously, though... 12 gauge gatling gun with choke tubes. Any reason why it wouldn't work?
The only reason is that you need to have a platform every 5 feet or so.
Nobody is saying you can't take a drone out, they're saying you can't use SAMs from 30 miles away (affordably, I'm not made of money, unless I'm the DoD) so you need a ton more platforms.
Barrel wear will be crazy. As will heat generation.
I mean, it works in Battletech.
Is this essentially different to the current use of the FlAK-Panzer Gepard / SPAAG Cheetah in Ukraine?
Technically the Skynex Oerlikon (Rheinmetall) can shoot a similar type of ammunition. So its not really different.
I know it does, that's why I was curious about the novelty of that approach.
Hold out until the quad-mounted 50 cal is brought back.
Wonder if you loaded shotgun shells with fishing line. You just have to take out one prop.
What about a fence made of balloons and fishing line
🤷… seems plausible.
Confetti is actually a researched tactic.
As a bonus it can also reveal the gender of the drone.
Ok now I’m just picturing a drone with truck nuts. Thanks for that 😅
I wonder if Taofledermaus have done this?
That is a good question.
The return of the giant punt gun!
I do this in Battlefield. Works like a charm.
