All of these manufactured issues are immediately solved with the purchase of M1s and Bradleys built by our neighbour, you know, the guys with the biggest arsenal on the planet. Buy used and have them refurbished to get around all those Canadian content issues with new builds. you may be able to...

Just happened to be on the transcanada at Wabigoon yesterday and met up with 2 wide load low beds heading east each with a LEO as their cargo. No chance for a photo.

With a focus on the arctic are we not long overdue to obtain some oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships to map the Arctic Ocean? An updated version on the Vard-9-05/ VARD 9 105 The original 2 built for the Royal Navy were also capable of mine hunting / countermeasures.

GDLS LAV6M (based on Saudi export LAV700 ) 120mm turreted mortar. Approx 9200m max range. Although it's about 2000m less than a C1 or C2 105mm and half of the LG1 C3 it would be much more mobile and quicker to move and/or respond. Replacing M777s is a whole other discussion.

Amphibious hummer???

Saw that thanks. Interesting vessel. Would 4 be enough for the RCN?

The role(s) currently associated with the MCDV are quickly changing due to technological advances. Replacing the MCDVs will not be with a similar vessel but rather 2 different ones. An inshore patrol vessel (small fast corvette (a la Visby) and an offshore mine hunting "mothership". Only my...

In reality the future of minehunting looks like the need will be for a "mothership" that will deploy, recover and service all kinds of autonomous deep sea mine hunting systems. So maybe something along the line of a modified/militarized platform support vessel.

It's in the Wiki page Heritage Cutter

Why not something with 60 days endurance instead of 21? USCG new Cutter

The KSS-III line is operational now. it is not a paper sub. They are building #4 out of 9 planned. There's time to plan for Canada's requirements and implement them into the design (such as strengthening the mast for ice). It takes 2 yrs to build and 3 further years to commission. In theory they...

Canada may be better served with South Korean KSS III batch 2. 89m, range of 19,000km, but can only stay submerged for 20 days. There are 10 vertical launch tubes which is not an option Canada is looking for but could be replaced with a Slowpoke reactor. The S Koreans may be interested in the...

Is the codpiece standard issue too?

Here's something else you'll never see in Canada - Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said the Coalition would support the submarine deal "come hell or high water".-

$13 billion a year for 30 years for 3 subs with all the accoutrements ?? Crikey!

Geez! That gentleman on the far left is a mountain in uniform! You could likely get pretty mouthy in a bar if he was standing beside you. Of course it likely would cost you a lot of beers to keep him standing beside you.

"The LHS, 47 percent of the SMP fleet (approx 705 trucks), is designed to load, transport, and offload 20-foot ISO containers up to the load carrying limit of 9,500 kg". Canadian Army Today May, 2018

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will :sneaky:) but TEUs are not to spend their time on a truck but rather only during transport then dropped off thereby freeing the truck to get another and another etc. If a TEU needs to be moved then the closest truck can pick it up. If that...

Built by Mack / Kerax. Not sure if it was included in the MSVS program.
