I said Russian armor for a reason. 25mm TP-T cut up the Leo turrets and hulls on the ranges in Wx, and non DU APSDFS cut up T-72 hulls in ranges in Afghanistan. I wouldn’t recommend 25mm APFSDS-DU as a primary anti-tank round, but in-extremis it’s going to give a Russian tank a bad day —...

I would assume that JSOC and Ground Branch as well as Israeli assets are all over the area, with kill lists. POTUS’s message was pretty clear. While the translation of this isn’t verified- it is interesting

You bring up a key point. Far to often Comms is just viewed solely as hard comms - data and voice transmission. Things get siloed then as there isn’t the thought to Information Management (or sometimes the IM aspect gets solely looks at as the tech nerds). Strat Comms is often overlooked...

US made firearms can be re-imported provided they meet certain eligibility requirements. Cannot be a Lend Lease item (I ran into that with my 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 in Iraq) as the USG views them still as theirs. Cannot be an automatic, (or CA - as we don't have CA laws here, we use once a MG...

But not a tank. You cede certain capabilities at that point. Quite honestly, I don’t get the idea of putting a tank gun, on an IFV hull. Based on what it has been showing with the 25 mm cannon on the Bradley’s in Ukraine, the APFSDS-DU Round can reliably punch through any opposition main...

I suspect that they are thinking for a Defensive mission that a 120mm is a 120mm, and are not as concerned about protection by using fixed fitting run up positions (possibly with OHP) - and able to get more bang for their buck.

You need a blend of both American and British outlooks -- the Brit models don't work due to their pop densities, and even the American won't not just due to budget and personnel, but also Canadian population density is less than 10% of the US. I hate to say it, but you need a Canadianized model...

I mean I long ago gave up trying to figure out BC Politics. Other than it usually does exactly what I would be doing the opposite of.

Should not those who are committing criminal offenses just be deported, and not punish the law abiding ones????

When I first went to Gagetown and then later Wx and Suffield (RV) I was amazed (coming from Pet) how big the training areas where -- then you come down here - and it is crazy - heck there are larger impact areas at NTTR outside of Vegas than anywhere in Canada. Given the Area of Canada, and...

The E7/E8/GlobalEye whatever also is actively emitting - much more power than the F-35's would anyway - but while the F-35 is a stealthy plane - even with a low probability of intercept radar active that is a significant increase in EM signature -- better to have them "cloaked" and strike unseen...

IMHO there should be carve outs for any GoC personnel OUTCAN for pretty much everything. Snowbirds, well that is on their own schedule, so I don't see the same issue as people who are out of the country by direction and in employment of the crown. I mean if Provinces can make allowances for...

The fact there is no carve out for deployed service members is just another example of the GoC ignoring the CAF and its personnel.

Maybe there is some hope for Canada.

Yeah originally I had a cheeky comment about how the Recce troop left three months early to get the positions surveyed. But then was more curious if they even did it like that anymore.

And a very very stable platform. I’m not sure if I’d trust handheld for that. But what’s a few 100mils between friends right? :ROFLMAO: Survey Troop ;) Director -Director from known point. . Wonder if they still actually do that

They do share some sensor data. I don’t for minute believe they share code.

Is that seriously the GPO with a prismatic compass?

The problem with that is then you are on your own for updates. So none of the updated threat data will be available. Like any software you aren’t hostage to it, if you have the time, technical expertise, and money to invest in a replacement. The Israelis have effectively done that, but in a...

May also want to dig into what the Israelis were getting from him. No surprise he got suicided… A lot of wealthy and powerful people need to take a dirt nap for what occurred.
