Tank be like

There must be some kind of rule violation here right? There are tons of rules about only pointing your gun at people you are prepared to kill and acting as if guns are loaded at all times. Swinging a tank turret across the broad side of a civilian buss feels way worse.

Not that I have any actual idea, but I recon any shell fired at that distance and that flimsy a target wouldn’t even lite the fuse.

Also this was recorded at the annual day of the Bundeswehr, basically a promotional event to get people to join the armed forces. Not sure if pointing you’re 120mm barrel at their face does the job, but I was in the navy, so what do I know

the tank shell probably wouldn’t notice the buss but I would notice the shell when it goes trough me and 3 other passengers.

I mean any shell even if it’s fuse doesn’t activate will still do significant damage, killing multiple people from at least the shrapnel. At that range the overpressure would also be pretty dangerous probably.

It’s pretty much impossible to move a tank anywhere without it pointing at something or someone. You can’t exactly point the barrel straight up or down to the ground. I imagine it’s probably a bit harder to accidentally fire a shell than the trigger mechanism of a firearm.

Just wait until the barrel goes flaccid before swinging it around

Let’s just say that sometimes that rule is violated when exercising in the public space. I have seen that multiple times and talked to some soldiers that confirmed that civilians sometimes unknowingly are part of an exercise, although you would never fire on them.

Maybe I’m dumb, but I can’t tell what’s going on here. Is that a bullet hole in the glass?

It sounds like a forklift?

😅

Edit: after watching it again at full brightness I see it’s a tank driving along side and the turret turns at the last second to aim directly at the camera.

Deutsche Bahn is the largest provider of bus transport in Germany

But like, also, who cares?

I’ve never seen a single DB bus in all my life living in Germany. Buses are typically provided by the city’s municipal company (Stadtwerke). Maybe DB has a fleet somewhere and as a single unified entity is the “largest” single provider, but that would come down to the fact of everyone else being split up.

In Schleswig Holstein we have Autokraft, which is a DB company I believe. Or at least they work under their license.

DB also has busses, or at least they have bus companies working for them under their name.

I was just reading an article on DB ordering 1200 electric buses, but maybe those are for personal use.

NonCredibleDefense

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Create post

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.
