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.

Not certain if female Oppenheimer or female Vishnu here.
I thought Vishnu was the creator, Kali was the destroyer. Or Kali is an aspect of Vishnu?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Creative destruction, I suppose.
What happened? Did they bomb another depot?
The night of September 17, Ukraine blew up a very large Russian ammunition depot at Toropets, up in Moscow's general direction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toropets_depot_explosions
While there wasn't a single detonation, the numbers I've seen quoted are that ~30 kt of total explosives went off, which is in atomic-weapon-class, larger than Hiroshima (15kt) or Nagasaki (21kt), hence the reference to Oppenheimer's quote at the successful test of Trinity (25kt), the first atomic bomb.
At that point, OP posted an image about it:

The night of September 20, Ukraine blew up another ammunition depot, one at Kamenny, Tikhoretsky, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, and the other at Oktyabrsky in Tver Oblast, Russia. The image that OP used here is from Tikhoretsky.

EDIT: The Toropets large explosion in the video is, from what I can tell from other sources, only about 0.2-0.24kt, so significantly-smaller than Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic detonations. I read that Ukraine hit the depot with ~100 UAVs, so probably various explosives were stored far enough from each other not to have the whole depot be touched off by one explosion. I was listening to Michael Kofman discuss it, and he mentioned that the Toropets depot is spread out over ~5km, many different storage structures.
