Unless its a government to government contract. Norway and Germany could agree to say give Canada boat three of their build, and then six etc... So we end up with a few boats early and a bunch later on. If its a Canada to TKMS contract yes, we'll likely have to wait for the first boat...

You can't until 2027. 5 years after you spent 6+ months in China. China is a red flagged country. And you, as an applicant who isn't in the military or security services at this time is at the bottom of the pile for the folks who do the security clearances.

I'm thinking its more Fentynol. That's a dissasociative drug. I think we have the talent to design for sure. Not sure if we have the capacity to build that fast. And people is where the drugs come in. Edit: on re-reading the arcticle I'm not sure if they meant we'll start building in 10...

End of Nov I was told.

Your Canadian citizenship will not waive the pre-enrollment security clearance requirements, whoever told you that is incorrect. It doesn't matter what citizen you were, Canadian or otherwise, as you were living in China for longer than 6 months in the last 5 years. I would wait out as your...

Of course not. PRes is as always regional and how this works in each region will likely differ. Consider this a warning order. Standby for GI.

I can't belive I missed this article you posted. Its excellent In particular I like the summary for the difference between the two submarines.

Sea ceptor launchers are very short and because of their cold launch capability are very compact. Mk 41 launchers (that currently exist) are much too long to fit into the same space as where the ExLS was going to be without losing a good chunk of the mission bay. AFAIK that space is either...

Two of the most interesting sections of the article. This basically means that Canada negotiates directly with SK or Norway+Germany for the submarines instead of the company. It also means that Canadian tech slowly gets added to the platform for all the submarines of that type that are being...

Yah currently 24. I don't know what they've done with the ExLS space. I think its become CSE storage space for tools and equipment. Or they may have just removed it entirely.

You would be surprised how many sketch actors there are at sea. Especially as they moonlight as legit actors half the time.

Ok that's awesome. Now we are getting somewhere. I was just chirping you to get more info. I withdraw my chirp.

I posted something vulgar here that I thought was funny but then thought better of it. Apologies

There is still a definition. I didn't say it was a good one. But the heavy definition is very clear, and the tasks required by medium and light cavalry in the rest of the doctrine clearly indicate that dismounts will be required to do their jobs properly. Something that a dedicated light tank...

Doctrine is an entirely different problem. With Cavalry, Infantry, Signals and Fires all creating their stuff without talking to each other as far as I can tell. The army hasn't decided how it wants to fight as a team, just how its own little piece works by themselves.

Yah there is Canadian doctrine to substantiate what defines heavy, medium and light. Its right in the new Cavalry doctrine in the definitions section. I'm very confident that medium cavalry will not include the "Booker", because medium cavalry tasks require dismounts from the vehicle that is...

Booker isn't really modern medium cavalry. Cavalry variants of the Bradley and CV90 are medium cavalry. I don't know what a Booker actually is, lol.

Yes it should. Right now the "medium cavalry" are using TAPV's as a large portion of their cars. That's not medium or cavalry. The Medium Cavalry project and a purchase of new or more tanks are not mutually exclusive. They can both be done concurrently.

And I reiterate that all the tracked cultists consistently underestimate how tactically mobile modern 8x8 or 10x10 vehicles actually are.

It seems that the army's modernization reoganization plans are to include both medium cavalry and MBT's. From Noah, 1CMBG will be getting a second Heavy Cavalry Regiment. A new unit. The remainder (the other two) CMBG's will have one medium each. For those counting that's two heavy and two...
