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.

are they stupid?
Yes, that's why they are in the army.
They're in the army because they're poor.
And poor because they are stupid. Checkmate leftist. /s
- Poor and smart - airforce - nobody messes with American planes
- Poor and fit - marines
- Poor and dumb - army
- Poor and gay - navy
Historically speaking you can damage an American aircraft and get away with it, you just need to be lucky. No, if you want everyone to be afraid to touch you, join the navy. Touching American boats either with or without provocation is anathema. You touch the boat, you get the smoke, end of story.

What weapon actually did that, artillery fragmentation?
But the vast majority of the shell fire is not as a result of the battle which raged around St Malo for nearly two weeks. After the battle, the Americans brought up various tanks and other anti-tank weapons into range and fired at them to see how much punishment they would take. It is incredible to see that virtually all the hits show shells bouncing off or merely embedding themselves into the armoured steel without penetrating it. I found only one shell hole which had penetrated the cupola straight through, whilst one other shell appears to have found a way in at the point where the moveable gun port shield slots into the turret.
Edited for context
Though it held up, I bet if anyone was hiding in there they would be concussed into vegetation
I think I'd prefer to just be shot.
If this is at the beach landing, decent odds it was shore bombardment from some of the smaller weapons. The amount of naval fire directed at the opposing forces on the beach was incredible. My favorite little moment I've heard about from that was a battleship engaging a sniper nest that infantry had radioed in with their 16" main guns. There's a naval historian on YouTube by the name drachinifels, I highly recommend watching his video on operation Neptune.

Guessing it was one of the defenses that was hit by close range artillery fire.
