    2024 Wildfire Season

    One thing Viking Air and now DeHavilland has done and continue to do is overhaul of the airframes. They take a beaten up old Beaver with holes in it and overhaul them to better then new. They do the same for the Otters. I would not hesitate to fly in any of those aircraft.

    Infantry Vehicles

    The APFDDS-DU and ATGM can be solved fairly well and with minimal effort. Purchase DU rounds, buy and install the mounts for ATGMS for the turrets. There are lots of arguments about this. Reality is they are compatible and can be installed/used if needed. Not having these capabilities is...

    So the military buys a chevy Colorado with out the body, adds some rocker protection a skid plate and adds a 24volt system and everyone is overwhelmed with this. Yet we are underwhelmed with the Roshal truck? I find it funny that GM defense is going to supply supply training, logistics...

    When dealing "green energy" people are not logical. The government investment in solar, wind and tidal power has not even come close to breaking even dollar wise and especially environmental foot print wise.

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    Do we want to be green or make the mess disappear, because you can not do both. If we recycle then the majority of the "recycled" material is not suitable due to cost, no customer or more expensive then raw stock. If we covert waste to energy, then we have to deal with the emissions from those...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    I would think the ARCHER system could be adapted to fit a another chassis, be it LAV, Bradley etc. It looks like they have a 2 variants of the turret. They fit the Boxer, MOWAGG and ASCOD2. If we just buy a few turrets and have the fab shop but the back out of a couple older LAVS, a small...
