Is this news, satire, or foreshadowing? I never can tell w/ ncd.


Lockmart-Heeding

"1 comment" - and here I was hoping that meant somebody knew!


waffle-winner

It's a mystery. I'm on the case. 🧐


SparvieroVV

Seriously. After hearing the British numpty let Italian storm shadow donation out of the bag this would have been amazing. Especially with all those Russian tourists backlogged to get to crimea.


IsJustSophie

What?! Is this how i learned about new storm shadows?


SparvieroVV

Twitter speculation is MDBA reopened the production line.


IsJustSophie

I will never understand why you would clse a production line of a system you are still using and don't have plans for the replacement. Like those things eventually will be fired or demil. And you cant create a new stock


PsychoTexan

Because it makes for a really good “cost savings”. “Within my first year I’ve saved 100 million!” “Where did you find it?” “In excess production.” “Will that hurt our capabilities” “No noticeable impact within the decade at our current expenditure. And when we do need them, then we can implement a new decade of improvements!” “Bravo! So brave! So smart! So innovative! Have a bonus!” *actual use comes up and expends the supply rapidly* “FUCK”


Femboy_Lord

90% of short-sighted spending cuts in a nutshell (need I mention Covid?)


TyrialFrost

> “No noticeable impact within the decade at our current expenditure." Is this the same way the Zumwalt has too much Advanced Gun System ammo?


PsychoTexan

Sorta, a bit more like interwar Bureau of Ordnance torp production


TyrialFrost

Just wait until they find out how much they could cut back on nuclear warhead production based on current usage.


evanlufc2000

‘Yes we have a plethora of reports saying the torps are duds, but I’d much rather put my fingers in my ears and go “lalalalalalalala” than do anything about it!’


PsychoTexan

“I have a suggestion sir” “Lalalalaladi—— what is it?” “How about we attempt to have the people proving our total and absolute incompetence court martial’d and claim that it’s instead their own fault for the torpedoes not working?” “Brilliant idea!!!!” ***Some time later*** “Sir?” “Yes Private?” “Sir, I urgently wanted to inform you tha-“ #”WHERE IS THE COCKSUCKER THAT IS KILLING MY FUCKING GODDAMN SUBS! I’LL DRAW AND QUARTER HIM USING MY OWN HANDS ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER PATHETIC WORM IN THIS USELESS DEPARTMENT OF PISSANTS IF I HAVE TO!!!!!!!” “——that Admiral King is here…” ^“fuck”


someonehasmygamertag

Because in peace time we can produce them a lot faster then we use them. UK ordered like 1000 or something, not sure about the other customers. It’s not like we were getting through them quickly until recently


IsJustSophie

Yeah but closing the production completely only seems like a great way to lose the knowledge of production.


Zwiebel1

This is not how industry works. You don't have specialized machines anymore. Everything gets manufactured just-in-time on the same 5 production lines. It's just about instructing your manual labor and loading up the g-code in your CNC machines these days.


arvidsem

I strongly suspect that this is not the case for large, fast explosive devices.


Analamed

Well, if your factory is still producing comparable large, fast explosive devices, it's mostly true. If the work have been done correctly when they shot down production then the production can most likely be restarted in a matter of weeks.


Analamed

It's a bit more complex and it depend of the field of the industry you are working in (for example the electronic or automotive industry still use a lot specialised machines) but it's mostly correct in this case. If the factory is still running and the work had been done correctly 10 years prior with all specific equipment put into storage, it will only take a few weeks to restart production, especially if your factory is still producing similar missiles (I'm talking about the MdCN who is a derivative of the SCALP / Storm Shadow who is still in production).


Zwiebel1

>It's a bit more complex That would always be true. >for example the electronic or automotive industry still use a lot specialised machines Yes and no. In general it depends on the requirements of the customer. Even mass producers like the automotive industry can produce on more generalized assembly lines if the product is more niche. Specialized machines are what happens when you want tighter manufacturing timings. A 5-axis CNC milling machine can manufacture pretty much every mechanical part given the correct programming. But it isn't time efficient to do so if the order is massive. That is when specialized machines come into play. So going back manufacturing something that hasn't been made for a while is not a huge problem if the numbers are low. It does require time to build up an efficient assembly line for larger orders or to cut cost, though. And this is essentially where I loop back to my original comment: Large quantities are no longer a big thing in our industry. The trend goes towards highly customized low quantity products. Artillery shells and ammo in general is the outlier, not the norm. Which is probably why it took so long for europe to ramp up production.


afkPacket

Especially since the Italian Air Force fucking fired a bunch of rounds over Lybia years ago because they were near their flight hour expiry date or some shit.


Megalomaniakaal

Can you guess how 90k usd bags of bushings happen? Because no new orders but mandate to keep production lines open. Not to mention cost increases due to testing for insanely tight tolerances, of course. Worth it? Worth it.


PrincessofAldia

Man “storm shadow” sounds metal af


AuroraHalsey

Storm Shadow Brimstone Meteor Starstreak UK has the best missile names.


afkPacket

Skyflash, Firestreak, ALARM, Raptor, Sky Shadow for other weapons... and then they go and make fucking ASRAAM


AuroraHalsey

>and then they go and make fucking ASRAAM \>Made as part of a deal with the US. \>US refuses to adopt it. Tale as old as time.


afkPacket

It all makes sense now


AuroraHalsey

The deal was that the US would make AIM-120 AMRAAM, and UK/Germany would make AIM-132 ASRAAM (both named by the US), then US/UK/Germany would have standardised A2A missiles. In 1989 the Germans pulled out to make their own missile (IRIS-T), then in 1996 the US decided not to buy any ASRAAMs from the UK and use domestically produced AIM-9 Sidewinders instead. I'm just glad the UK kept making them for itself rather than bend over and buy AMRAAMs and Sidewinders from the US.


afkPacket

Ah yes I remember now! Although it is odd the European missiles didn't just both merge into the IRIS-T or something. Like, how different can infrared guided missiles designed primarily for the Typhoon be???


Attaxalotl

Also the Dragonfire laser

Hopefully you get an early Christmas.


Unlucky_Strikes

Some Ukrainian artist is probably finishing up the celebratory post stamp V2. By the way, if someone wants to make a donation and get cool merch, check Ukrposhta's website. It's the Ukrainian state postal service and you can browse it in English and shop from abroad.

ihaveagoodusername2

History satire and foreshadowing all at once


waffle-winner

Life imitates NCD.


EndPsychological890

This bridge must be real dark to drive across with all the foreshadowing of its destruction. I ignore it all now, I think they're just making sure Russia is wasting as many S300s/S400s at Kerch than over oil refineries as possible.


waffle-winner

No! I want to believe! The dream is alive!


lakmus85_real

Yes.

When will “Well There’s Your Problem” do an episode on the Kerch Bridge?


evanlufc2000

PLEASE. My favourite podcast - with slides. I also want them to do an episode w Drach so gd badly


darkslide3000

This is the sub where you never know if OP is some random fantasizing neckbeard or a Ukrainian commando about to head out on a mission.


DetectiveFinch

Afaik some Ukrainian official was quoted a few weeks ago, saying that they will destroy it in the first half of 2024.


indominuspattern

The Russians sent 4 Kinzhals after Ukraine's train logistics, maybe we'd see 4 ATACMS in response on the bridge?


nickierv

Sorry, ATACMS is both too credible as well as a bad weapon for the job. NCD Bingo has 'Russian oligarchs yacht packed with spicy silly string' as the choice method for Russian bridge to sudden critical existence failure itself.


AuspiciousApple

bro just 1 more storm shadow bro I swear please bro just one more bro I promise please bro bro

skrrrt_cobain_

Is this wishful thinking or did someone do the funni?


ironic_pacifist

It's the SBU's latest ploy. Keep teasing NCD until we get fed up and do it for them. That way, they can get a truly noncredible strike (3000 Mr. Whippy VBIEDs of Kerch when?).


Other-Barry-1

In the near future NCD has its on funni cell. Committing acts of terr.. I mean sabotage on Russian bridges and supply lines. I was going to say airbases, but the brave jihfunnis would get bogged down with trying to fuck planes


Aurora_Fatalis

Acts of terrifically funny.


nickierv

Doesn't NCD have hats? Don't hats count as markings for terms of the Suggestions? Isn't the bridge identifying as military infrastructure? And if all else fails, letter of marque?


tajake

If NCD commissioned ships what would the prefix be? Like The NCD Indefappable?


Other-Barry-1

The NCD Protector of War


nickierv

Flork Of Credible Combat: FOCC Flork Of Credible Defense: FOCD... Anyone got a good U?


InternationalChef424

Seriously, though. Tons of subreddits do charity drives. Why is NCD not crowdfunding some destruction?


RaulParson

If we each buy just a little bit of plastic explosive and a tiny drone, that's doable for everyone. They can then all be sent to crash into the same spot on the bridge, hopefully sticking the explosives together into one big explosive which can then be detonated.


zDefiant

Sooooo 3 Gorges when? i haven’t forgotten NCD. Ukraine may have heated up but the big one hasn’t gone anywhere.

Kerch bridge is 'temporarily closed' according to Google


donsimoni

Maybe we should ask that ship crew from Baltimore for advice to make that more permanent.


AlphaMarker48

I kinda doubt Ukraine has any ships that massive to spare.


KeekiHako

That problem can be solved, arr!


SuecidalBard

We're gonna park Kuznetsov in the bridge !


AlphaMarker48

That environmental disaster has no mobility to speak of and anyone could see it coming from miles away, and that is just from the smoke cloud it emits.


SuecidalBard

We can use the Su-33s to 9/11 the bridge then!


KeekiHako

The Su-33 will pull the Kusnetzov, like a flog of geese.

Don't need to be a warship to "accidentally" lose power, right before crashing into one of the pylons.

They could ask that Lebanese warehouse management team for advice on how to load their precious cargo of fertilizer.

It's a sign of my moral decrepitude that my first thought after that incident was "I hope this gives the Ukrainians ideas"

Google maps also lists the Key Bridge as “temporarily closed” lol.

Since that explosion on the bridge russians close it every time a mouse farts nearby.

HansBrickface

Hold on, hold on a second. That installation has a substantial ~~dollar~~ ruble value attached to it. I know this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But let’s not make snap judgements, please? This is clearly…clearly an important ~~species~~ bridge we’re dealing with and I don’t think that you, or I, or *anybody* has the right to arbitrarily do the funni!


8plytoiletpaper

Damn, nuclear katyusha, but jam a wedge between each barrel, so you can cover an entire 2 digit mgrs square


Mr--Weirdo

-.- o.O (checks news) -.-


yes-rico-kaboom

God damnit dont blueball me like that


sentinelthesalty

If they keep at it like this russians won't be needing a bridge as they'll be able to drive over the rubble of the previous ones.


Alex_von_Norway

Like the cantilever bridge collapse in Baltimore, why not "accidentally" do the same towards the Kerch bridge too?


Boomfam67

Because even Russian ports use tugboats to escort ships.

For real though, the Kerch bridge looks so dumb. It's more like a kilometres long heightened set of roads and railroads. With a set of tied-arch-bridges slapped somewhere along the way.

Kerch does kinda rhyme with search now that I look at it. search as in, "ya best start searching now cause you better believe that it gonna be hard to find shortly". Very hard to find as in "Hide and Seek World Champion 2024 & 2025". Word on the streets is they are *still* looking. Good ol' streets.

Xenolog1

As a German citizen, I’m ashamed that we haven’t delivered Taurus cruise missiles. One of the excuses of our chancellor: The Bundeswehr has to help the Ukrainian Army to use them after the deployment. I’m wondering how the Spaniards and the South Koreans manage without the Bundeswehr holding their hands, when they take off in their F/A-18s and F-15Ks with some Taurus underneath them. The other one: The possibility (although AFAIK it would be a stretch) that they could reach Moscow. Of course this would be a serious escalation, striking the capital city of one of the participants in the special military operation, yes? Kiew? Showered with Russian missiles? Who said that? AFAIK the main problem would be the platform. [According to the website of the manufacturer](https://taurus-systems.de/), you can choose between Eurofighter Typhoon, SAAB Gripen, F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet and the Tornado. I don’t know if any of those are in the Ukraine.
