I think that is GDF-005 no?

Honestly so be it. At this point I do not believe there is any sort of credible assurance from the USA that our dependence on using their military equipment will not be used against us. Will never be able to fully stop a conventional threat from the Americans, however I see no reason to make it...

I cannot speak to the contract work like the Dash 8 ice missions or CCG leased operations, but any bread and butter TC flight department (aka enforcement) is completely gone. Imagine hiring the competition now to transport Canadian government officials to place another bush operation on notice...

Transport recently divested itself of all aircraft, they no longer have a flight department. Budget cuts from the current government to a round out a square. I can speak from experience in the 705 airline world it’s caused the a considerable stir of “emotions”.

It seems through RFP says we have roughly 200ish 81mm dismounted mortars in service. Is this program getting ride of all the dismounted mortars? That seems like a self inflicted wound for no reason. It’s kinda like we got ride of the 60mm when we got the automatic 40mm. Very much a two steps...

only WestJet with 737

So in Latvia for the brigade Canada is contributing about half of the EFP (one tank squadron, one lav company, one artillery battery, one engineer squadron; plus logistical assets). Separately were also deploying an addition tank squadron, a flight of tac helos, and brigade support and...

They are not training aids they are the training. The difference between a full motion sim on 737 and the real thing is minimal. I’ve know because I’ve seen it. Most airlines require a line doc training after sim of 50-100 hours. To get comfortable with operation and understand some difference...

https://www.saab.com/newsroom/press-releases/2023/saab-receives-orders-for-defence-equipment Does anyone think this may be related to us in Lativa and urgent operational requirements?

Going off what others have been posting, would this orbat make any sense? Equipment holdings would largely remain the same outside of additional ATGM, GBAD, and precision fires program which are already in the pipeline. The only thing I would consider purchasing additional numbers of is the LAV...

I would argue the need for that many brigade headquarters is unnecessary as well. The way I see it the Canadian Army needs at most 4 actual field deployable brigade groups. You can throw in the remaining class c reservist and some class b into reserve districts or the alike. I cannot not see the...
