Are they? But how many were built and parked right now? Yes and no. Different mission yes, similar capabilities built into the platform. Poltics aside the helicopter flys and does a decent job within its capabilities. It wasnt what we needed but its what we got. The helicopteris not a piece...

like a drone, helicopter, or satellite? Two feet and heart beat works good for RECCE But if you went that route you would not need to have Recce trained soldiers in the Infantry and Armored. Then they will lodge a complaint with their Cpl for life mafia that not only did the Artillery take away...

They are having further issues then just stuff added to it. Even the manufacturer has stated they can not get the latest system to work properly. Those are critical to the jet hitting mission state. That does not mean it is not an effective aircraft. It does mean that the aircraft may not reach...

They have proven in Ukraine that even tracked equipment is not very mobile in boggy terrain. Tanks and heavy vehicles have a hard time getting around on terrain that is soaking wet with out improved roads, trails. Even then there are limitations. Especially if you want to move fast. What would...

Most of the covid shut downs were based on control. This caused supply disruptions. Like most Canadian things manufactured/raised dug up ends up in other countries. A quick search will come up with semiconductor manufacturers here.

I am kind of curious what we dont want to use the LAV for?

presumptive spelling, should have been "strike" not super. lol ROTFL.

The problem is it does not do what it is suppose to do. It seems no matter how much money, how much tech/ how many threats get thrown towards it. This will not change. They can't or wont make it work. Either way it is dead in the water so to speak until they can. it will be interesting to see...

The Navy/Marines pulled more then a few of their legacy Hornets out of storage so they could support their fleet. Besides the F22 and F35 not much is actually new in the US fleet. F15 old, F16 Old, B52 really old, C130 old, DC 10 old, B747 new to them but old, C5 old, C141 newer but we have...

We make Chips here in Canada both potato and micro. So that should not be much of a problem. as for retooling plants, things can happen pretty quick if they need to. You can start off manufacturing the old way until the robots and such can be reprogrammed/ installed. It might be time for...

lol, so are most other countries including the great almighty United States. Again most major Navies around the world are using older Ships. At least Canada's have cleanish non flammable drinking water. We could also get serious and start domestic production of said equipment. It would would...

Thats sounds like the place I work at

Running upto and over trenches is not moving from a hide position to a firing position and back. They are advancing, tanking trench and pushing the enemy out or killing them. It's their doctrine modified based on their willingness to take and accept risk/losses. Why can't it as part of the...

that is hit and run. Don't forget drive back and forth over the trench. I find it amazing how they seem to conduct small group tactics when the equipment they have are extraordinarily good at larger scale attacks. I dont doubt the Russians artillery capability is always front thought when...

Looking at how Ukraine has employed tanks with lots of hit and run smaller tactics. I wonder if the M10 is a good fit for their style of operations. Fast light, packs a bit of punch and can fire on the move. Instead of sending a 50-60ton tank the booker comes in at 40 tons. We keep looking at...

As much as I should have moved to the US a few years ago for work. I don't want to be an American. I am proud to be Canadian and live in Canada. Despite what the government does, I think there is still good hope to fix things.

Why should be a question we ask ourselves? Why do we have different maintenance requirements? Why do we have different crew sizes? Is what we are doing better then the others or making it more complicated? Or is it simpler then the others. Canada's Military tends to make things more...

https://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2023/2023-05-10/html/sor-dors78-eng.html From 2024 to 2033, the present value of monetized costs is estimated to be $133.5 million and the present value of monetized benefits is estimated at $84.2 million. assumed unit cost of $360 for each unit. If you go...

Lots of Welders/Tradesmen out West vote NDP, they also live in Edmonton and or FIFO from out East so that should sum it up. I know of a few traditional NDP supporters who for some reason have left their Unions, have considered leaving the party they have supported their entire life. I guess the...

Not really hoping for the best, originally we were buying EH101 in two variants, 1 Sar and 1 Maritime. It appears from their website it was built to be multirole and may not take much to convert over. Unless your Canada who needs to create a defense committee to research if the platform is...
