Google tells me that SK can, and does, produce up to 220 hulls every year. Two companies produce about 100 each. That is about 4 launches a week nationally. https://www.trusteddocks.com/catalog/country/114-south-korea

Why does there have to be a combination of infantry and cavalry? Is the armoured corps the provider of tank support to the infantry? Or is it the provider of cavalry functions (whatever those may be) to the army at large? There is value in having the flexibility to form ad hoc groups...

No comment. He's right. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/want-drone-dominance-let-the-squad-fail/ Get rid of the Bishops. Try a Presbyterian army.

Sounds like the AFN needs to organize their own Equalization Program so that the rich FNs can support the poor FNs that are going to miss out on all this resource development.

And let us not forget the morale factor: some folks will break at the sight of a man in a skirt. Other folks want their names in the history books. The weight of the vehicle means nothing to them.

So "light" is in around the ISV/MRZR/LUV range. "Heavy" is Boxer/AJAX/Lynx and up. Are LAV6/Bradley/CV90 at 30 ish also heavy? How about the C130 Stryker reference? A vehicle in the 5 to 15 tonne range, And I know the Herc can manage 20 at a push but why stretch the point initially?

How good are the Lynx and Puma as alternatives to the CV90? A shipmentof Wiesels might be nice as well.

733 billion rubles = 8.8 BUSD And that represents a sizeable portion of the Russian economy?

I think you and I are heading the same place. I could see a roaming package, such as that I described, and one of many, keeping the opposing force at bay, both on the ground and in the air, screening in other words, and assist in creating the space for battalions and brigades to manoeuvre...

Try playing around with these maps https://www.bcafn.ca/first-nations-bc/interactive-map https://bctreaty.ca/map/ Curiously the FN map doesn't include boundaries. It only shows settlements (is that the right word for an indigenous community?) On the other hand the BC Treaty Commission seems...

From John Ivison, referencing Carney's comments about austerity: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/ivison-carneys-promises-confront-reality-and-real-opposition?itm_source=index The good news - .... I still have a preference for Poilievre but even I find Carney tolerable. I'd rather have a...

Consider a tactical package with a single sensor vehicle, a Skyknight vehicle and a pair of JAGM/Brimstone vehicles, perhaps a command vehicle, a security det vehicle and a rover, all sporting C-UAS RWS systems for local defence. All mounted on wheeled APC/PMV. 1x 19 km radar 48x 16 km SSMs...

A companion piece, also from Rheinmetall: the Skyknight from the UAE's Halcon. A 35 kg missile (about half the weight of a Sidewinder and twice that of the Mistral, RBS-70 and Starstreak. It has a range of 10 km. It is vertically launched from a sea can with an ISO-20 holding 60 in ready to...

US Air National Guard. Down 1x Tactical Air Control Squadron. Up 2x Cyber Squadrons. https://www.defensenews.com/air/2025/09/12/utah-air-guard-base-to-wind-down-tactical-air-control-party-squadron/ Everybody's assumptions are changing.

If I understand the message from gunners correctly the weapon is not the gun it is the thing that is sent through the air: the projectile, the missile. With ballistic projectiles getting smarter, with smaller calibres being able to change course in flight and self-target, with guns launching...

Canada may have time but NORAD doesn't think there is time and NATO certainly doesn't think there is time. Everybody else is on the ice. Canada isn't even lacing up its skates. It is still shopping for them and wondering if it can make them itself. Not much of a team player.

How easy is it to deny the effect of a wheeled vehicle with its own aor force?

JAGM-MR / Brimstone 2 unit cost is sub 1 million USD. Early versions are in the 250 to 300 kUSD range. New versions are assumed to cost more but recent contracts are geared to higher volumes. Some swings and roundabouts and I will set the unit cost at 500 kUSD. Those little quadcopters are...
