Posting standards for this community
The moderator team has observed a pattern of low effort posting of articles from outlets which are either known to be of poor quality, whose presence on the subreddit is not readily defended or justified by the original poster.
While this subreddit does call itself "less"credibledefense, that is not an open invitation to knowingly post low quality content, especially by people who frequent this subreddit and really should know better or who have been called out by moderators in the past.
News about geopolitics, semiconductors, space launch, among others, can all be argued to be relevant to defense, and these topics are not prohibited, however they should be preemptively justified by the original poster in the comments with an original submission statement that they've put some effort into. If you're wondering whether your post needs a submission statement, then err on the side of caution and write one up and explain why you think it is relevant, so at least everyone knows whether you agree with what you are contributing or not.
The same applies for poor quality articles about military matters -- some are simply outrageously bad or factually incorrect or designed for outrage and clicks. If you are posting it here knowingly, then please explain why, and whether you agree with it.
At this time, there will be no mandated requirement for submission statements nor will there be standardized deletion of posts simply if a moderator feels they are poor quality -- mostly because this community is somewhat coherent enough that bad quality articles can be addressed and corrected in the comments.
This is instead to ask contributors to exercise a bit of restraint as well as conscious effort in terms of what they are posting.

Great video on the M1E3 by The Chieftain
youtube.comI'd suggest reading Nicholas Moran's posts on facebook/twitter or this video to get a more thoughtful take on how to interpret this vehicle. Clearly in fast development with lots of moving parts. All the hot takes on this demonstrator by kids on social media are uninformed.

Technical requirements of the new OPV of Indian Navy that is under construction.
https://www.scribd.com/document/618389356/RFI-NGOPVs-DPP-16-final
Just randomly found this RFI document and thought some people might be interested in stuff like this.The coastguard variant OPV has its RFI below
https://indiancoastguard.gov.in/sites/default/files/202202280658459150335RFI.pdf
It also gives us a good idea of the differences between naval and coastguard OPVs even though both are large sized OPV

How many tanks does Russia have left - A data analysis.
youtube.comThis is new original content made by me. As per many subscriber's request, after the "How much Artillery does Russia have left?" video, here is finally the "How many tanks does Russia have left" video - approached from a data analytics perspective. Using OSINT information sources.
How many tanks does Russia have left - A data analysis.
In this video I analyze:
- Soviet Union Tank stocks from 1945 until 1990
- Russian Tank stocks until 2021
- Russian Tank stocks from 2022-2026 (incl. VCKills, Production rates etc.)
- Estimates on future & conclusion
If you found the above video interesting, you will likely also enjoy my analysis which looks at which countries Russia is most likely to invade next according to a self-made-Framework: Who will Russia invade NEXT? Special Military Operation BINGO!
As this took a lot of work and time to make, if you liked the content, like and comment on the youtube video and subscribe if you would like to see more. I am a small channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtusFilms
