No chance that I am visiting there for some time.

This is madness.....and will completely kill the tourist based hospitality industry https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump

Pan Domain Operations is the equivalent of NATO MDO. PDC2 is the equivalent of CJADC2

Just pointing out that gratuitous labels like Comrade etc do nothing to further the discussion.

OK, jack-booted thug

Dude, I didn't even know you had a sense of humour....

This. As we discussed in 2018 at some length.....I even have your slides from when you reviewed my original proposal!

This becoming standard. The autonomous dogfighting drone that this Canadian company is developing can mount a shotgun, flechette, or missile effector, along with the expected jamming etc capability https://www.sentinelrd.com/

This has been a push for some time, and I had a front row seat for the development of options for a JFC. At the time (well pre-COVID), the imitative was being slow rolled by the DM of the day for much the same reasons that the PFEC release was delayed by years....

Hopefully industry can walk and chew gum at the same time. As to the broader issue of ITBs, most big primes have huge ITB requirements to fill. Companies like the ones I work with aim to help them with that, especially the 9X multiplier for "research"

There is way more to this than F35. Canadian SMBs will now be able to compete in EU

I think this may be blown out of proportion. The only foreign reporting that I can find on this issue is BBC - with a single short article. Not surprising given the full statement Carney made: This is a tempest in a canteen cup

Or to invest in large-scale and SMRs for their teetering powergrid https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-g-n/india

Huh? not seeing it in that graph unless I am missing something

Seen. I was surprised at the thought of you NOT knowing about that....
