Well, we could always ask for a K9A3 (with the automation benefits...assuming they can be tested and confirmed to be reliable) with the L52 barrel.

From what I've heard the Conservative leader ran a terrible campaign...went full Trump (including suggesting a DOGE-type government review) and when that strategy went over like a lead balloon he tried to pivot but it was far too late and the damage already done.

I wonder how difficult is for the seeker on an anti-ship missile to lock on to a semi-submersible? Even if detected would the missile have to fly so low that it might hit wave tops? Would CHAFF cause the missile to fly right over top?

Well I'm not so sure that Soviet 1.0 would be very happy with the suggestion that the US "won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance" From Chatgpt: And Europe in general might have something to say about WWI

44 Tanks per Regiment/Battalion like the US Tank Battalions are organized. 3 x Tank Companies with 4 x Tanks in each of three platoons and another 2 x tanks in the Coy HQ gives you 14 x tanks per Company. Three companies plus two more tanks in the Battalion HQ gives you 44 x tanks total...

Yes...with the training areas on the West side of the front line and the impact areas on the East side of the front line. ;)

Hanwha is marketing a new A3 version of their K9 Thunder SP Howitzer: https://defence-blog.com/next-gen-k9a3-howitzer-breaks-cover/ Some highlights from the article:

Could definitely fit in an A400m. I believe a LAV6 would fit as well.

I think the electorate would punish the opposition if they force an early elections (barring Carney doing something extremely stupid). My guess is that the Liberals are safe until the US midterm elections next November. By then both the initial Trump shock will be over and likely...

To my mind if Carney's government sticks to a fairly narrow set of policy objectives that are focused on dealing with the key issues currently facing Canada (the Trump tariffs and security concerns, cost of living/housing, energy and expanding trade) then I don't think he'll have to form an...

I wonder if some port worker got a call on their pager...

If Canada is really facing multiple crises like the parties claim we are...Trump/Tariffs, China, Russia/Defence, Housing, Productivity, Demographics, Crime/Drugs/Mental Health, Pipelines/Energy, Environment, etc. then the idea solution would be a Liberal/Conservative National Emergency Coalition...

He's obviously forgetting the Toronto Ice Storm of 2013!

What we know about the massive power outage to parts of Spain and Portugal so far Power is out across large parts of Spain and Portugal, and already misinformation is spreading as to what caused the outage. Some outlets are reporting a fire in the southwest of France is to blame, but French...

Elon Musk continues his criticisms of manned fighters and the F-35 in particular. This time supported by notable "defence expert" :ROFLMAO: Laura Loomer. https://defence-blog.com/musk-slams-f-35-program-again/ Hopefully Musk's apparent waning influence in the White House will keep this...

China rolling out more kit that's geared toward amphibious operations: https://defence-blog.com/china-tests-new-amphibious-missile-launcher/ 2027 ticks nearer...

In a more serious response, it would appear to be the WATSON handheld long-range multiband Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems jammer. https://defence-blog.com/italian-army-tests-anti-drone-jamming-gun/

And a couple of other interesting tidbits from the article:

Unfortunately I'm afraid that the recent actions of the US make any strategy of pushing more of the initial response on local allies much more difficult. If you were the Philippines for example and China invaded Taiwan how confident would you be in launching missiles on the PLAN, or allowing US...

Frankly, I think that any strategy which envisions US surface fleets pushing forward into the Chinese A2/AD zone upon a Chinese attack on Taiwan as utter foolishness. It would play 100% into Chinese strengths. In my opinion US subs along with long-range air-launched missiles from land-based...
