    Those are Iranian F14 tomcats, made in USA, given to Iran, then blown up by USA bombs.

        I mean they’re kind of death traps at this point, though what’s funny is the Iranians actually had a lower failure and crash rate than Americans, probably because their pilots didn’t build their self image on being Tom Cruise.

        It was Israel using American bombs on Iran this summer.

      Every economy needs a way to create more demand or else the supply won’t be necessary.

          I’d like to see none at all, but I guess that’ll be a dream for quite a while. The Enterprise was built to be a science vessel, not a war machine. It still packed a punch, though.

          Make Earth post scarcity “again”!

          Hmm, MEPSA sounds like shit…

            MEPSA sounds like either a disease, a bodily fluid, or a society of people devoted to discussing and eating poop.

        Are you implying that the plan is to sell more jets to Iran to replace these?

        Otherwise, Iran having F-14s is actually helpful in selling planes and bombs to Iran’s enemies.

          For them it probably isn’t important who creates the demand as long as they are the one supplying the goods.

            Which, in the case or Iran, is not them.

            I’m pretty sure this isn’t a money making conspiracy, but just normal geopolitics happening, like it always has.

      It’s possible some things may have happened in Iran in between the acquisition of the those F14s and now.

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.
