    Continental Defence Corvette

    Honestly the combat systems of the CDC write themselves. We have the nav system, CMS, deck cranes, sonar, antennas Sweden for radars and main gun. Norway for anti ship missiles. Platform management is Canadian. Don't know about engines, generators or such but I'm sure there are options...

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    Thise guns aren't integrated. They are seperate systems. Might have a feed to OPS (CIC) but not actually controlled by Aegis.

    Oh we won't. I guarantee that's ships gonna be about 3000-3500 tonnes and about 110m long. IF they pack what they want into it.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    So Canada getting K9 would be bad. Got it. Everyone can shut up about tracked artillery. The data shows its a mistake. 🧌

    Yes more beam and more length. Hunter class is just bigger.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Do both is the correct answer. They each have advantages and disadvantages. And yes sometimes those lines of development start overlapping. Which is fine.

    There were two "land attack" requirements. First was basically tomahawk, long range missiles. The second was Naval Gunfire Support to forces ashore. Those are two extremely different requirements. Submarines don't do the latter. So no, there is no reconsideration for the RCD's land attack...

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    I dunno, they essentially gutted their intelligence services with all the DOGE stuff and political purges. Or it might be sensationalism like what used to grip them during the Cold War where the constantly overestimated Russia's technical abilities. Or it might be perfectly accurate.

    You should be concerned with VLS numbers. The RCN is also concerned about the number of VLS. The CRCN has stated that publicly. That's one of the reasons the RCN TG config increased to 4 RCD's from 3 in some of the documents. But as per normal with all things there are trade offs. I know...

    Well the thing that hasn't changed is you can't beat the radar nor the CMS. Battle prove To keep your enthusiasm, the sensor suite and EW package are going to be better than expected. The data sharing and connectivity are ridiculously high. But that's not something that's easy to explain or...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    You can do anything you want. But that's a midlife refit sort of job. Why would you want to? Just get the Arctic UAVs they are planning and use them instead. Keep the Cyclones (or there replacement) for the big ships.

    Here's the rub. China isn't claiming any of this. The Pentagon is. China is just saying "yah we have a new ballistic missile that goes far". So CCP propaganda has nothing to do with it.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Which is kinda the point of the "Drive to Divisional" (c) model. Looks like the plan is to put our big kid pants on finally.
