Some proof of progress on the RCD construction:

Here's the most detailed report on this latest "incident": https://www.twz.com/land/sig-m18-pistols-pulled-from-use-by-air-force-global-strike-command I must admit I was seriously considering a P320 at one point (bought a Walther PDP instead, when such things were possible in this great...

Dodged a bullet by NOT buying Pegasus. Not aware of any MRTTs losing a boom. https://www.twz.com/air/kc-46-tankers-boom-just-broke-off-during-f-22-refueling-mission

Some news on the Australian Hunter class construction progress: https://www.navaltoday.com/2025/07/09/construction-advances-on-australias-first-hunter-class-frigate/ I found it interesting that these also appear to be limited to 24 MK41 cells. It has been widely reported in "other" forums that...

In related news, the first SPY 7 array has been delivered to Japan for their new class of super destroyer: https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/07/asev-takes-shape-lockheed-martin-delivers-an-spy-7v1-radar-antennas-to-japan/

That program was at the cost of 3 of the originally programmed 9 Hunter Class frigates. I don't think we want to reduce our number of RCDs similarly to fund another completely different class of ship. I'm hoping the new CMMC is not planned to be at the expense of a number of RCDs. I would think...

Interesting comment made in the Hurly Burly podcast by Admiral Topshee about the USCG wanting to buy AOPS, because it's "exactly the type of ship they are looking for".

If we don't stop faffing around we're going to lose our spot at the front of the line....

I think the old girl deserves better than that - she'd be covered in geese sh&t within 24 hours.

Looks like USAF has officially withdrawn from E-7: https://breakingdefense.com/2025/06/air-force-cancels-e-7-wedgetail-citing-survivability-and-cost-concerns/

Looks like the J model Herc is pretty robust: https://canadiandefencereview.com/lockheed-martin-unveils-groundbreaking-c-130j-super-hercules-performance-results/

Hopefully our P8s are this latest standard: https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2025-06-11/improved-poseidon-prepares-service

I'd like to see some of that new defence industrial development money go to these guys: https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2025-06-09/horizon-boosted-transition-flight-cavorite-vtol-demonstrator

Same for me today. Slow to load, often timing out.

Looks like not BVS10, but rather the ST Engineering ExtremV, which is very similar in function to the BVS10. https://armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2025/roshel-to-manufacture-singapores-extremv-tracked-vehicle-in-canada-for-arctic-mobility-program

Which allows the extra fuel for increased endurance to give it Expeditionary capabilities, something Canada wants. Seems like a pretty substantial improvement to me.

Another example of how committed the Koreans are: https://canadiandefencereview.com/hanwha-ocean-of-south-korea-signs-mous-with-canadian-partners-at-cansec-2025/

Looks like they are offering the 212 CD. If that's the case, I vote for KSSIII. If it was the 212 CDE, I might be more inclined to "like" that offer. That was a substantially improved version of the CD, though I don't know how developed it was. It was offered to the Netherlands for their sub...

Isn't what you are describing Class C service?
