Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

NCD in shambles over the fact that they missed out on getting combat aircraft for the price of a cheap car.
I'm actually pretty upset.
I assume this was a bulk discount, but still. If they'd asked I bet there could have been a hell of a GoFundMe.
I’d join a time share for that and could maybe turn a profit flying it at airshows (edit: scratch that)
But Ukraine deserves it more
You'd go bankrupt in maintenance costs and upkeep within the first month. You'd be looking at about $9,000 per hour of flight time in maintenance and component costs, and about $7,500 in fuel costs (JP-8).
The are going to strip these for spare parts. I guarantee it.
I was thinking more of like putting it on my land to look at not fly
That's a hell of a lawn ornament. Lol
Well 20k isn't a lot for some people lol, or could take a loan and pay it off. Like someone else said it's basically the price of a car
Look, we just want it for reasons ok? What do you mean "stop measuring our front yard for a Su-27", "You'll be on a watch list"?
Yeahhhhh ok Ukraine does need them more kicks rocks
What do you mean “stop designing a cobra maneuver catch sling for the front yard”?!
What does NCD stand for in this context?
Non-Credible Defense, a shitposting community about international military affairs. The running joke is how everyone there is desperately horny for literal jets. Like, dress the jet up in a bridal gown and go to town on the thrusters level horny.
What else are jets for
Dance-fighting the Sharks in the streets of New York City?
ONCE YOU'RE A JET
YOU'RE A JET ALL THE WAY
FROM YOUR FIRST CIGARETTE
TO YOUR LAST DYING DAY!
uwu notices your GBU-12 from across the room
Lmao best fucking shitposting /c/ on Lemmy
Non-Credible Defense !noncredibledefense
Thier admins ban you for disagreeing with them. It's a garbage community
Either whole thing is going over my head, or you hate satire.
Hate satire? Absurd proposition. Their main moderator nuke banned about 10 people on a thread I was contributing because apparently everyone was fear mongering as they disagreed when he said Russia has no operational nukes 🤷
He had a lot of downvotes and must have got upset so he permanently banned a solid 10+ people.
Getting emotional over downvotes is a meme at this point
You are now a moderator of /crediblefdfense
First act, ban the moderators of noncredible.
Mum am I doing Lemmy correctly?
Oh, it's you. Carry on, nobody is listening.
That's what most of Lemmy is.
Hell, you can't even get a Cessna 172 that's as old as these planes for $20k. Add another zero to the end and people will start talking.
Even if the thing doesn't get airborne anymore, it'd be one hell of a way to build up a flight simulator for gaming. Probably not what's going on here but it's what I'd do.
Other than demanding a trans-pride NATO catgirl sticker on the instrument panel, I'm sure they'd love that too.
my first reaction to the headline lmao
the catch is that these things won't fly, so these are useful only as spare part donors
Anything can fly with appropriate trebuchet technology.
