    Replacing the Subs

    I want to watch when someone asks the question of what do we use them for during wartime to the powers to be. And for just for laughs include some of the people who signed off on building them in the first place I want to see their facial expressions as they attempt to explain. I suspect that...

    Current Dress Regs

    They finally got around to rebuilding our back lanes in our immediate neighbourhood after decades of saying they were on the to do list sometime in the far distant undefined future. Over a period of several years more the one vehicle suffered under carriage damage including at least one lost...

    She does realize that's she's just made that much harder for those same black officers . Because every asshole out now think's that how they all got there. .. Congratulations Lady you just fucked over a lot people because you wanted to help. It's really quite sad .

    The War in Ukraine

    My point , exactly. As a propaganda piece it's not bad it doesn't noticeably go over the top. It's calm and almost circumspect. It also leaves out a hell of lot , it quietly guides you to make the assumptions it wants you to make. I suspect this guy's crew consists of a lot more then just a...

    The War in Ukraine

    Real Reporter ? The Russians got themselves a real bargain too if British MOD is correct . Only cost them 460,000 dead . In return they got few aged vehicles.

    CH-146 Griffon

    Apparently there was a faction within the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm that appears to have been fascinated by flying CH 47 off ASW carriers. Got to admit a Chinook flying anti sub missions would be impressive to see.

    CH-146 Griffon

    I was talking Canadian journalists so the number is fairly small . A combination of population and culture, I guess. As for the tank versus jeep thing that's an editing issue. Most writers have horror stories about that. As in " Actually I only look stupid after editing"

    CH-146 Griffon

    Actually before the RN purchased SeaKings , they had planned to use Chinooks in that role. As to the Press there are roughly a dozen or so who actually specialize in Defence writing,of maybe four are worth the time and bother the rest don't have either the experience or education and they're...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    "You mean the AOP isn't a Patrol boat like a big old whatcha call them ..a RIB ???" I suspect that the above sums up the problem with our political leadership.

    CH-146 Griffon

    The Blackhawk is one one of the safest helicopters out there . I wouldn't want to ever to be in a impact wth any sort of hard ground but I would rather be in a Blackhawk. I don't believe there's a helo in it's class that's as safe.

    The War in Ukraine

    During that period, precision bombing usually meant hitting the right Country nevermind City.

    Infantry Vehicles

    I couldn't say for certain but I strongly suspect that a disturbing ( for us ) number of their brigade sized units are far more combatants ready then any of our reg force brigades.

    2024 BC Election

    Because we like our mental health issues dealt with on the cheap. I don't understand it is just how it looks from this admittedly unqualified person observing for the past 4 odd years. And on the outside looking in.

    British Military Current Events

    I'm not too sure what this says about people but in one of my social media feeds I noted almost 60-70 post who were incredibly worried about the horse including one person who was talking about setting up a go fund me page in order to pay for their Vet bills. Eventually a couple of people...

    RCN Carrier models

    Actually the the A4 has at least a claim on belonging on the flight deck. We did test then and the Navy were requesting funding to purchase 21 of them around 1963-64 .

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    When you get right down to it at the end of the day if the Prime Minister decides that he disagrees with his advisors. He can , that's his privilege. At the end of the day He's the boss. What ticks me off , is the way he threw his people under the bus belittling them as he did so. He is a...
