The video mentions that the new CV90120 has an RWS specifically designed to counter drones and also and APS. At what point do these features become a valid trade-off for the heavier armour of a MBT?

Let's be realistic. If the US were to invade Canada the rest of NATO would have no capability to do anything about it. They are not about to attack the most powerful nation on Earth on our behalf. NATO as a trans-Atlantic defence pact would end. NATO (or something similar) as a pan-European...

I agree with you as I was in the same "buy America" boat for most things but I think it's important that we don't bite off our nose to spite our face. The reality is that the defence of Canada (and North America) will always be a joint effort between Canada and the United States. Close...

A 3rd possible AEW platform option for Canada? https://www.ga.com/ga-asi-adds-saab-airborne-early-warning-capability-to-mq-9b General Atomics and Saab are partnering to offer an AEW version of the MQ-9B. Even if the systems aren't as capable as the manned alternatives, I wonder what quantity...

I'd buy the coincidence theory if Trump hadn't been pushing for a big military parade since seeing the Bastille Day parade in 2017. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42969566 Trump quote from 2018:

Not sure if anyone read the "Readers added context" at the bottom of the post: "The user made the same exact post previously, on April 1st. It is a joke.x.com/DrEliDavid/sta… " The link takes you to the original April 1st posting.

I scratched my head about the Space-based ISR when I read about it as well. No idea what the current state of Chinese/Russian ASAT capabilities are but I'd worry about them disabling a 100% Space-based system which would be very difficult to replace quickly. On the other hand, if an E-7 is...

👆 This. There may be a bunch of arguing over whether our 2% is actually a legitimate 2% or not once all the final numbers come out at the end of the fiscal year but at the end of the day if the US and the rest of NATO see the CAF significantly increasing its combat effectiveness as a result of...

I'm curious if the Globe's "expected" moving of the CCG from DFO to DND is accurate. The wording from the press release simply states : Expanding the reach, security mandate, and abilities of the Canadian Coast Guard and integrating it into our NATO defence capabilities – to better secure our...

No clue if the response is accurate or not but according to ChatGPT the ratio of bitumen to water extracted from In Situ SAGD oilsand sites is between 1:3 and 1:5. So you'd be increasing the volume of product to be transferred by a factor of 3 to 5 (with the purchaser of the product now having...

It appears that the Danes have been unable to resolve the fire-control issues identified on their Iver Huitfeldt-class ships during their Red Sea deployment last year. As a result the Danish Chief of Defence is recommending scaling down their weapons and sensors and repurposing them as...

Re: Prairie oil to Eastern Canada. Curious about possible alternatives to the Energy East pipeline across Ontario. IF a pipeline were run to Churchill/Port Nelson would either of these options be viable? 1) Pipeline to Hudson Bay then tanker to East Coast 2) Pipeline to Hudson Bay then tanker...

There's this: And then there's this: I think the World in currently more like the latter and that to my mind deserves a little more leeway.

The US is in the middle of various tariff "pauses", negotiations and court challenges. In Canada we're in the middle of various discussions between the Feds and the Provinces on major changes to internal trade policies and potential major infrastructure investments. NATO is meeting to discuss...
