Fortunately their state of the art medical treatment can handle it. :ROFLMAO:

After your time, there would be a FOO Tech/FAC Sgt from 2 Horse with the Kiowas. I got to sit in the back for one -- neat job, but definitely needed a better bird for it, twice as an OP sig I sat at the 427 hangar as the Kiowa didn't have power for another body on board, and now you can do it...

Strangely I thought this was the Defense Budget and Increase thread - not the CPC versus Liberal thread.

JTAC's down here can do all types of calls for fire. I would be surprised if they can't do Arty and Mortar in Canada.

That is fricken ludicrous. Dummy rounds are a nothing legally. I mean if they are left in plain view in a magazine(s) I could potentially see a mischief charge (the idea that it was done to create a disturbance). But a dummy round chambered isn’t externally visible, and doesn’t serve any...

I'd be interest in creating RCN Ports/Depots in one or more of Japan, SK, and/or Australia. Rather than fly crews in and out, actually have a footprint forward deployed.

It wasn’t the temperature. It was the crap in the fluid. The other issue isn’t the software, it’s inputs to the software, as the software takes the input from various sensors, and clearly something was off with the sensors. Maybe that is related to the contaminants, or maybe it is a design...

If someone buys into @CBH99 ’s narrative at this point, I’m not sure it’s worth talking to them. They are 1) willfully ignorant 2) a Russian sympathizer, or 3) a bot.

Except that article flies in the face of what issues the RuAF are actually having getting contract soldiers, and glosses over the fact that the conscripts are fighting in Ukraine due to Putin changing the rules on what ‘Russia’ is considered. Not to mention RuAF losses haven’t really...

The fact that many composite stock weapons have past Arctic trials for years being the grounding logic for that fucking idiotic thought?

But hey, the UN Security Council doesn't do shit about the Russia invasion.

The Silent Service after all. Undersea Warfare folks (from Submariners to Industry) don't like publicity, and many companies do their best to hide their specs other than to purchasers.

Getting rid of disenting voices... https://breakingdefense.com/2025/08/defense-intelligence-agency-chief-kruse-removed-from-post/?utm_campaign=dfn-ebb&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sailthru

He has the vanity plate SAFE, so by letter of the law they are in a safe in his vehicle ;)

I'd guess that the Ukrainians are waiting for the repair equipment to show, the Russians know that and know they don't have a lot of that sort of stuff. So my guess if the RuAF will eventually use a lot of manual labor.
