110%. Australia banned semi automatic rifles and pistols. However, they ended up walking back a lot of the semiauto bans, as they found the farmers needed them to control both the kangaroo and other rodent populations. So you now need a permit for a semi auto but from some friends in...

She’s been frozen out apparently. Only the hawks allowed to play currently.

Pilot training is down here initially. As well the initial ones will be here to assist that until you can base them up somewhere that has the security issues sorted. But you won’t find another platform in Europe, you may for an Augmentation/Replacement, but even then I wouldn’t hold my...

That is about the worst COA. Canada needs them now, or actually sooner than now. There isn’t a better option currently.

Or build their own https://polymer80.us.com/ Their Glock 19 model is fantastic (I got 8 of them back when President Biden was elected).

At the end of the day, most “gun control” groups won’t be happy unless all civilian ownership of firearms is banned. They also fail to see that most countries with total firearm bans end up abusing their citizens ASAP as no effective means of resistance is allowed.

Sold. ;)

They also all have Brigades and Divisions in them, and some larger formations... As I mentioned before I see a logic in creating Districts or Areas inside of Canada to better deal with JOINT aspects for Domestic Response. What I do not see those doing is having units permanently assigned to...

The answer is: Visit Russia, before Russia visits you ;)

Area and District can make sense for Domestic Areas of Operations, but I loathe the intent to place units into them for day to day business. Ideally units are created and organized in Operational Formations as opposed to Administrative, or rathe nebulous sounding entities. Administrative...

Depends on the opponent and terrain. As well as composition of the units. However I generally I don’t see a LI unit being of any advantage to a Mech Div.

I’m of the opinion that for some theaters a Division will require a ‘Reconnaissance Bde’ to operate in front of (and sometimes intermingling with) the traditional maneuver Bde’s. To be honest I don’t really like the term Reconnaissance for that role, as there is a tone of other things that...

The more concerning question to me is what are the reasons for the decline in advertising. His ratings were not that bad, especially considering the entire type of industry was taking a hit. Let’s be honest the Trump47 Administration hasn’t been shy about leaning on people and companies...

On very firm ground. You can’t get away from the ground pressure issues with wheeled vehicles. The LAV 6 series and the 10x10 chassis are very heavy, and don’t have nearly the capability off road that many supporters claim. Not to mention as soon as the tires blow the run flats have...

@GR66 I think it depends on the enemy. The pre-2022 Canadian Armoured Recce was IMHO already dead. The US Army Calvary Squadron is/was a pretty robust entity, but not suited either to the advances in sensor and strike capabilities. Down here we have talked and put a lot of buzzwords into...

NATO should ‘accidentally’ shoot them down.

E To me the fundamental aspect is what is wanted from the PRes, as part of what the Army wants to be when it grows up. The Army needs to figure that out.

I see the conventional IFV as an Infantry assault formation vehicle working with tanks - after the sensor war and fires war has been won in the local area. I am at the point where I think the Next Gen CFV requires having multiple different turret designs. 1) A somewhat conventional turret...

Mais pourquoi? ;) Speed, surprise and violence of action. I’ll be the contrarian this time, as what you described sounds like a Fires and ISR task. So I’m left wondering WTF is Medium Calvary

I think you vastly overestimate what can be done on weeknights and weekends, and underestimate the raw information that troops need to know and skills to master these days.
