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.

Translation (as near as I could figure out):
"Inexpensive PASGT (Personnel Armour System for Ground Troops) helmet with dyed, surplus camouflage cover and a used Yukon Gen1 Night Vision Goggle held on with GoPro parts (likely the curved attachment and maybe even the overhead clips), and an extra mount."
Definitely a case of: "if you have to ask, you don't want it."
Also, the Yukon Gen 1 seems to be discontinued (most of the reviews are 12+ years old) but new units run $2-5K.
Aww, ya beat me to it, and did better to boot.
Bro, I got a stroke from trying to reading it 😵💫
New NATO memetic weapon just dropped
Call the bondulance, I'm having a stornk.
Still better kitted than the Russians
What am I supposed to read here?
I read this wrong and imagined an Uber driver wearing these when you get in.
Headlights off, let's go.
Allow me to translate.
Super cheap Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (helmet), covered in dyed military surplus cloth, used Yukon Gen1 (ancient and mostly useless) night vision goggles, held on with Go Pro parts and a military surplus mount.
Okay, I think I've mostly deciphered this, but what's a pasgt?
This is a definite case of a few more acronyms and shortened forms than was wise.
Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops
The helmet.
We haven't analyzed the Ikea couch. The secret meaning is that Russians like to buy and post toys like this for clout from their cheap couches?
