I bet they didn't get permission to do this:
They 'borrowed' the Defiant....

Reflections do not work that way! Goodnight!
This does remind me, I saw a board game once in a store where the cover art had a suspiciously Defiant-like ship on it (though it was an illustration, not just a photo taken off the internet). I didn't write down what it was but I was able to find it with a quick google: Space Cadets: Dice Duel.

Neither of which I have a problem with, for the record.
Good game.
I think the link broke?I bet they didn't get permission to do this:
The only time I knew of they borrowed the Defiant was in First Contact and the producers of DS9 were not happy about it!!!

This reminds me of when Space: Above and Beyond borrowed Babylon 5 for their DVD menu.

Looks like some self-published crapola.
Well, yes and no. They didn't mind the Defiant in First Contact. But originally, the writers of the movie wanted to destroy the Defiant on screen. The showrunners were not happy about that part, and made sure that the ship would survive. In their mind, anyone watching only DS9 would not understand that the ship got destroyed in a movie they didn't see.
Now, mind you, I kinda feel that everyone who was watching DS9 would go and see First Contact. But yeah, if you couldn't make one of the first shows and so the movie AFTER the episode following First Contact, it would feel both really weird and be a huge spoiler.
Also it's just practical - the Defiant gave them options beyond just events at the station itself. Destroying the ship at all, particularly at that point of the series, when that would just happen randomly in the middle of the season, would undercut any plotline they were trying to do off the station itself.
Especially when you consider that this was a point pre-global releases of episodes, while the movies were released roughly at the same time globally. They cut a reference to Jadzia's death in Insurrection because in some overseas markets, they were still in season FIVE in terms of episode releases. So destroying the Defiant in First Contact would basically have destroyed the ship right after it was introduced in those places.
Tough little ship.
Little?!
So typical for movies and series made in the 2010s and 2020s.
Those who make those "masterpieces" have no ideas of their own, it's all about stealyng this here and that there, adding a few crappy characters and some half-done story with a loooooot of blood, gore, endless actions scenes and explosions and an overall gloomy scenario and actyualy believe that it will be a success.

The Asylum, at least, is a profitable and successful endeavor.
I'm old enough to remember when there were two Colonial Vipers from Battlestar Galactica on the cover of a Star Trek novel.
