A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

Would be even funnier if it said second best in Russia, no need to complicate it.

Well,there's Wagner, who are probably loitering on a street corner, kicking dogs and watching Seagal clips on their phones.

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wagner was moved under the Russian regular military after the failed coop. So they're technically one entity now. (Not that there was ever much of a difference, it's just less now. )

Nothing worse than a failed coop. Chickens everywhere.

This is funny, so I'm leaving my mistake

Are the Chechen counted as part of the Russian Military or separate?

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

The command structure is what determines separate forces, do the Chechen forces answer to the same command structures? I know from US coalition operations that the foreign forces answer to their own NCO/Officer Corp. Typically, through to the region level and have their own rules and regulations separate from the other nation forces, often operating from their own bases and really only coordinating at the colonel level or above.

To my understanding, the Chechen forces are barely allowed their own officers at the unit level, much less anything higher. I'm far from an expert on that, though, and may be wrong. If true, I wouldn't separate them, if false, maybe, as much as the separation of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Sure, but it works better the other way.
