Lets aim for a 24 gun Reg't then. That is the Reg Force -- the PRes have zero AFV's. They are by nature light - so I would like to see those CBG's at least have a Gun Reg't each - but the ripple effect of that is even worse when looking below. Again that assumes using ALL of the PRes Arty to...

Well the difference is the Arsenal of Democracy can build an ass ton of things -- and LocMart has a Canadian subsidiary - as well as interested in a number of Canadian companies -- If all of a sudden the ballon went up -- 1) the F-35 will fair WAYYYYYYYY better than the Gripen 2) the F-35...

The F-15 EX wasn't available at the time of the tender. Quite frankly any stealth aircraft needs to be sheltered as best as one can, the F-117, the B-2, the F-22, and the B-21, the F-35 isn't an outlier in that fact. ANY modern aircraft is going to need climate controlled shelter - as some...

Agreed, but stress modeling for stuff has come miles from what it was even 5 years ago. I’m pretty sure one could print some of the Ti sections on the chassis as well - so rather than attempt some questionable Ti welding, you could replace sections. You hate Jumpers? The 120mm mortar is...

I really question why you think that there are any scenarios that one is going to throw Light Infantry at, that would also benefit from a MBT? If you need MBT's, you need Heavy Mech Infantry, not Light Infantry regardless of if they are walking or deriving some soft skin.

Agreed - and frankly I would suggest Canada use Russian frozen assets to build production lines to support Canadian, NATO and Ukrainian needs. BAE built a few at least, as they have been shooting them out west for testing. If you are building 52 cal 155mm barrels for the 109, you may as well...

A lot of BAE products are also dual bonus -- they are used by America, but also not American. So the CAF can get the benefit of having a large supply chain, and also the GoC getting points with the elbows Up crowd saying hey - we bought British...

Quite honestly we should "accidentally" flatten something in Russia with Tomahawks -- and just say whoops, my bad.

BAE isn't interested in having SK 'assistance' Canada would be better of in that instance in going "all in" with BAE for the European Slush Fund - and building plants in Canada to make. M109A8 CV90 (and beyond) BsV10 M119 and M777's

AC-130 with a slew of GAU-19 turrets slaved to some sort of AD Radar and STC aiming setup.

Arguably part of the issue is the CAF who constantly break their backs, asses etc to deliver, even without from the GoC and Canadian public writ large. The Can Do attitude, became a must do, and a lot of issues that should have broken the system where 'fixed' by the hard work (over work) and...

It’s a viable Light formation setup. Given we use the Hummer to tow the M777 and ISV’s have now started replacing the Hummer for M119 gun tractors. 2 UH-60’s can move the Det with ammo.

427 would like a word. But generally yes outside of CANSOF there is no CSAR.

Ukraine wants F-16’s and more out of America. The COA’s for other Airframes are I am sure designed to make us down here get more aggressive with costing and support.

Match Penalties down here are probably similar to yours? 5 Min Major (really just puts their team down for 5min and adds to their Penalty Minutes) plus ejection and a 30 day suspension. Depending on the penalty applied it can require a League Hearing to determine if 30 days is an appropriate...

Since swim out Tomahawks aren't being built out anymore that means VLS. I suspect the Koreans can either - modify the VLS to be Strike Length System for Tomahawk or simply make a missile capable of similar -- most of there missiles are under the old INF Treaty range simply due to the fact...

Again the Europeans have a whole different last 200 year history. Things that are done there are not necessarily compatible with the North American experience.

Fair, and I will noted that when I was up this past summer that attitude was pretty clear. The 32 or 320 Grippens with manufacturing or assembly in Canada will still be enormously expensive to tool a line for such a small run. Plus the whole Iltis and LSVW jump out at me for the cost to the...

Missing the point, as to what can happen if LocMart Canada packs up. My point is acting like children will hurt both sides. We already have one here
