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.

It act like the small training wheels in bikes. New pilots struggling with those big noisy engines put this small training propeller and feel confident.
When the enemy has superior avian numbers, you drop this and fly into them.
Runs the margarita blender in the cockpit.
You see, when two airplanes love each other very much...

That’s the can opener for the inflight bean service
This fan is for when the outside of the plane is hot.
It's the auxiliary retractable engine, for STOL operations. It gives the aircraft turboprop like performance in takeoff and landing, with no detrimental effect on cruise performance.
Backup for a stuck rudder.
There's one on each side of the plane, of course, but it's for redundancy only, as the Auxiliary Steering System can be used in forward or reverse, allowing one unit to rotate the plane to both port and starboard.

Did you not know that planes have pee pees
That hole is too big to be a pee pee hole! It must be an anus.
I tried to find a Scary Go Round archive with the whole subplot of the communist robots having a party at the bus station and fucking the buses, but it is too old to be available, I think 😢
The incoming bird sensor first senses any incoming birds; then, its cushioned robotic hand (think an oversized Mickey Mouse hand) gently smacks them out of the way of the plane's path.
When an aircraft loses engine power, this automatically pops out. As in this scenario, not all instruments are powered and one has only one shot at landing, this is to assist in the expected imminent landing; it operates something like a curb feeler on a car. When you hear the propeller impacting the runway, you know that you're probably too low.
Ludicrous speed!!
You're the closest to the truth. It's actually a booster propeller for when the plane needs to go super sonic.

It’s the reverse fan to slow the plane down.
It's the siren to bring terror into the heart of the enemy when dive bombing
It's how the male plane shows that it's looking for an airbus(ty) female mate.
Should've added the NSFW tag on this, I was on an air field and every airplane in the area had there's pop out…. Lots of fluids everywhere.
When you put the plane in neutral.
When a plane loses power this lowers into the airstream to make brrrrrrrrrr sounds to keep the illusion of engines.
Edit: I feel I should expand on this. Like a hockey card in your bmx spokes.
