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.

It's magic carpet time!
Well, you don't know what we can find
Good luck disembarking with the motor running.
China doing what it does best: imitation! I don't even mean that in a bad way, it's impressive how well they've honed that skill.
I've had several graphic designs stolen and hosted on Chinese sites for screen printing
I know people who have had people get in contact with them after finding their artwork on any one of a dozen sites for sale making bank, while the artist sits in the dark eating ramen for the 6th month in a row.
It's not impressive. It's shitty.
Copying weapons is a completely different thing from an ethical and technical difficulty standpoint over reselling digital art.
Right, I think they have a little bit of everything going on. But even if this was stolen from whatever data breach, they'd need some competent engineers to make it work. Just as much as they may be stealing art, they are immitating a lot of foods that look just like the real thing, and a lot of times for legitimate purposes like store displays. Screw the people who shamelessly steal but give credit where it's due.
Reverse engineering is a skill. It's not something we should reward, but it's something we should respect.
Privatizing knowledge is what has no place being rewarded.
Copying military designs because you can't come up with your own isn't impressive lol
If it works, it works...
Citation needed on Chinese weapons "working"
It's smart to start with a design you know that works first, and then afterwards unique r & d projects can build on good foundations, since getting the first design woking tested their design and engineering pipeline
It's not imitation, it's theft.
"I'm sorry sir, the patent for a flying machine with a large rotor on top and the smaller rotor behind is currently rejected for being too broad"
I'll be honest, to me it looks more like a Mi-28 than an AH-64
The main rotor is definitely looks like a hind's
Nice find! Didn't even notice that. It's five bladed, and it spins counterclockwise, like Eastern helos. I wonder how it flies compared to an Apache. The five bladed rotor gets a Mi-24 up to a faster top speed than an Apache, despite weighing 50% more.
