Gunners loading 40mm and 105mm aboard an AC-130
For those occasions when someone orders the top shelf ammo.
Also there's actually 3 ladders there. One pair of steps and two small standard ladders.
I suspect the standard ladders are shite. So they carry some battered steps to avoid having to use them.
Gotta go for the Don Sabot
As you can see, it is strapped to the shelf with the shells, so its obviously a load bearing support beam to prevent the shelf from falling.
Ah lads it’s obviously for the high explosive rounds
For when Jackie Chan has to fight them.
Love it. Such a niche scene too
And somehow the best bit is when he just slides it forward and the dude's staff stops dead. All this frenetic action, and then one block conveys, this prop is solid.
Clearly that's for gaining the high ground 🙄
That's for when they get close to a WWF match.
The government signed a lucrative deal to a friend to buy 10 million ladders at at 1000 dollars a piece, so now each everyone gets a least one ladder to lug around. We gotta spend thoughs trillions some how. At least their friends and family to reap the benefits.
To much credibility Sir
Indeed, my first thought was “wrong answers only buddy”
For going down to pick up dropped ammunition.
They found it on the road, and Dan wanted to keep it, so they pulled over and he was like free ladder. Highway loot is the best.
Junking day!
Judging based on how badly it’s bent it’s used as a persuasion device (hammer) when you don’t want to be within arms reach, like when dealing with explosive shells.
Where is it bent?
Along the length of the ladder. That style of ladder, when it’s folded up, like in the photo, should have the feet perpendicular to each other and touching, not offset like they are here.
For appeasing the green tentacled LOX monster that lives on the ceiling
Getting out of the plane and setting up the targets again.
I think I have that ladder... if it's for the same thing I use it for, it's for sitting around being useless until I need to change a lightbulb in the kitchen.
You never know when you'll have to lay siege to a medieval castle.
In 1975, the RAND corporation did extensive studies using Chaos Theory and computer simulations. Their conclusion was that the Bay of Pigs would have succeeded under the Butterfly Effect of having a ladder on board every airplane larger than a twin-seater. Ladders have been required on board ever since.
The need that to clean the ceiling fans.
Nothing right now, but if you throw it out the plane after the mission, but before the credits you get an extra cut scene at the end.
Crown molding
Rangefinding.
The crew lounge is at thirty-four thousand and “eight” feet.
kevin left the ladder there. he forgot his security access pass at home, therefore he needed a ladder carried on his shoulder when passing security check. this always works: guy with ladder, enters any building - no problem
WWE ladder smashes
And why are the men's visors covered in duct tape?
Sensitivity training. Force sensitivity training.
You hang it out the side of the plane when you want to get out and taunt your enemy face-to-face. Well, face-to-face with a separation of a few miles, that is.
Shazam.
To climb city walls. It's mostly ceremonial nowadays.
So the short loader can reach the breach.
You have two ladders either side of the breach to stack shells in between them. When a shell has been fired, the breach opens, and Kentucky Billy Bobby jumps on the top of the stack to eject the previous casing and load another one.
Analy induced mastectomy.
For when the toilet is clogged
So they can drop their shit from above into the cannon, and shoot it away
Very clean, as long as you don't miss
brutally Beating up commies
For the wildest TLC Match the world has ever seen!
What ladder?

(I hope people can see where I was headed with this... :-P)
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.
