You are probably right in my suppositions. I would ask you this in return. Is demolishing the schwerpunkt the only goal or do you wish to control an area by obsevation and fire. Given that both things are required then two questions: What is the appropriate ratio of strike to recce elements...

Moving on ... As @foresterab notes, it is is easier to work within boundaries than it is to cross boundaries. Each province can build up to its boundaries but needs approval from the neighbour and/or Ottawa to cross the boundary. A good chunk of the Keystone XL pipeline to the US boundary has...

No idea what you mean....

My brother in law from Saskatchewan met my sister in law when laying pipe in Ontario 50 years ago. She is from Hearst.

Can we get a manned version of the CAMML-M? Common to all munitions for air and surface targets (Autonomous option/future) Multi-Domain (all services, all targets) Missile Launcher Medium based on a 6x6 truck in the 5 to 10 tonne range that is C130 transportable and can carry 2 pods like...

I will accept the physics. In which case I will be forced to question the data input.

Agree on the principle but a disagreement on a point of pedantry. He said a blast radius of 8 km or 5 miles. The distance is from the centre of the explosion or the dispersion to the edge. 8 km wide would mean a diameter of 8 km or 5 miles. The difference is a factor of 4. If 8 km is the...

Even if he loses interest today and quits, people have a nasty tendencing of continuing to live their lives and adapt. The unintended consequences are always more interesting. 🙂

If the basic unit is a packet of four out of range of effective mutual support, and could find itself split into two divisions of two how would you disperse capabilities? I would think that passive acoustic and EO would be universal, with the acoustic for cueing, and the radar tightly...

Now, if we can get the Germans to supply us a floating terminal and the Finns to supply us a couple of ice-breaking carriers then we should be in business....after a bit of pipe is laid.

I would think it would easier to stitch some short trunks together from western Sask, across Alta and through NE BC if each segment were seen as servicing local fields. Easier to build a milk run than an express line? The problem then would still lie from the Divide to the Coast. How many...

It would, indeed, be unprecedented. Let's see what the next week or two brings.

Pure Don King!

The way I took it was, given the high altitude release point and the fact that he seemed to be talking about a cargo of 20 submunitions weighing 2.5 kg apiece, then it seemed unlikely that 8 km was the blast radius. It seemed more likely that he was effectively talking about scattering 20...

Another encomium to the Roshel Senator - Both types The PMV that Roshel calls an APC which carries up to 12 And the upgraded one called an MRAP carries 10 As the article states - they are not IFV substitutes. They are 80 percenters for doing most jobs in most places while moving around...

Glad to hear.

Judging from the Isrsaelis driving around with all the downtown lights on it doesn't seem to be having the intended effect.

If there was a solid commitment to an initial 10/90, or even 5/95, I would be happy. Legitimately the regs have a lot on their plate just now, prepping for a real war, managing a step-change in tactics AND an expansion, is a lot. It makes me sympathetic to Sam Hughes. If the Regs could commit...

2.5 kg 20 of them 8 km radius 8x8 = 64 3,14 *64 = 200 km2 200 / 20 = 1 grenade per 10 km2 An 81mm round weighs about 4 kg with a blast radius of 35 m A 60 mm round weighs about 1.2 to 2 kg with a blast radius of 25 m Call it one mortar round in 10 grid squares?

Honour is satisfied.
