Interesting that that 2nd thread indicates that "Russia has reportedly committed 40,000 troops from its reserves to reinforce its retreating forces" Once that 40K is committed, I would imagine that to be a major part of the RUS reserve - I wonder if the UKR will now step back, let them flow up...

OK, jumping back to the theoretical Operations Room, I see a lot more consoles than others do. *Bear in mind, this is all inference based solely on my understanding of OPS rooms, and I have no actual knowledge of how this is actually being setup. I see that there are likely 16, 3 of these...

Y'know, I was thinking that at this point in the war, I am wondering what Soldier35 would have to say about all this. I'm sure he'd have been able to come up with some great points about RUS weapons capabilities and such. Instead, we'll have to settle for childs56's outstanding information on...

In short - Ukraine is acting as a Combined Arms Army. Russia is penny-packeting un-supported groups of soldiers that UKR forces are able to identify and roll up one at a time.

Twin 120mm AMOS mortar turret....my 'old' solution from 2012 brought back to life.

Ahhhh....the dramatic 'yank the charging handle' at the end. I suspect that the 'tens of thousands' is probably tens, not thousands. That said, there have been a surprising amount of 'odd' fires and train derailments in the headlines lately.

This is an interesting development....

You could call it a Special Commissioning Process?

I remember on NATO '98 we had the CO come down to the JR's one afternoon. We were alongside for a lot of days in foreign port for a RAMP, and he decided (I guess) to come see how we were doing. Truthfully, we were bored...and making up new beverages. We created a new drink, which we called...

Indeed...what's old is new again.... http://www.forposterityssake.ca/CTB-BIO/MEM002043.htm Indeed, it's not that old. STJ upon Commissioning had a ship's Mascot:

I 'voted with my feet' when I had a major falling out (up to the Brigade SM Level) with the Mess Manager when they refused to re-open our 'satellite mess' because it was 'losing money'. I was rather blunt...the civilian Mess Manager needed to understand why exactly it wasn't losing money, but...

THAADS?

Adorable...?

Canada cannot (anymore) support multiple classes of major surface combattant. As such, we need a 'single' solution. Having IRE, ISL, IRO, CPF and others all at the same time will not work in our situation. So. We need a 'do everything' platform. The Halifax Class was designed initially as a...

So....does this mean that as a member of the Public Service, who's been paying union dues for several years, but has not received anything from the union in terms of information, membership cards, or anything like that, I can go in and cease the deductions from my pay because there isn't...

Agreed....and I've looked at FR24 a few times over the past few months out of interest, however, those aircraft are on the fringes of the battlespace. Not over it. Putting an airborne RADAR over UKR territory with fighters to escort it, and other fighters to be directed by it is the real 'game...

The planes are less important than the lack of AWACS (or equivalent) on the UKR side. If UKR was given a couple of older S2 Tracer or E2 Hawkeyes, they'd be able to maintain some semblance of look down shoot down control over their airspace. As it is, they can only look up, with relatively...

The only way things will change is if we bring back public tar and feathering...

Is there a 'new' version of such a basic ID slide deck I could use with my troops? We did a review of Carl G and M72 with them last week...might be nice to help them figure out what to shoot at?
