You can still post links to articles, just not ones by that specific author.

Sounds like a good excuse to build a few landing ships, like the Runnymede class or similar.

Then they shouldn't be leaking classified information.

Or a complete fleet replacement of Leopard 2s.

I'm no expert, but usually food shortages are caused by a lack of food.

Especially since the FMTV is based on the Steyr 1491, same as the HLVW, and we bought a number of M1148 LHS during Afghanistan.

I'm pretty sure those were rollover frames for testing and aren't on the production model.

And Latvia is supposed to be very mild, and yet had the coldest winter in decades this year.

I still say the CV90 is superior to the Redback. Plus the Redback isn't based on the K9 or use the same engine, so it doesn't have the common fleet advantage going for it.

I'm still not sold on the Redback over the CV90 (the Redback has no commonality with the K9/K10), and a HIMARS purchase is apparently already underway.

What sort of differences? Because if it's a larger fuselage, but the same engines, avionics and other parts, it shouldn't be an insurmountable problem. If there are major parts differences that prevent compatibility, that's another story.

Even better, we do have IR NATO patches that are issued in Latvia.

That actually only happened once, in 2014. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locations=CA

It feels like it's missing the rest of the ship.
