For those interested, here is an open source look at some of the intelligence assets used during the cruise missile strike. https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/digital-battlespace/insight-how-intel-assets-laid-groundwork-syria-st/

Isn't the "new Avro Arrow" thing just a joke?? According to the Walrus: https://thewalrus.ca/air-apparent/ And according to Company Check - Bourdeau's (former??) UK based company has a networth of - £898,021.00 (that's negative; aka deeply in debt)...

Not a Hornet fan?

Maybe a quantum radar jammer? Quantum radar homing missiles? Decoys? Cyber attacks?... And don’t forget that stealth aircraft are not invisible to ‘conventional’ radars. If you don’t believe me ask this guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown

It will be interesting if it works. Lockheed Martin patented some sort of quantum radar technology in 2008 and the Chinese claimed to have a quantum radar in 2016, so I'm not sure how secret any of this is / should be. Quantum technology seems to be the wave of the future. Here is a primer...

Well this doesn’t seem like Afghanistan... we are sending 6 helicopters, not a battle group. And I’m wondering if workups would have started long before the Mali mission was announced. Edited to add: I’ve heard of units deploying with very short workup periods as well. 

How much workup training needs to be done?

Lol BTR-80s aren’t tanks. Typical newspaper. Maybe this should be merged with the Syria super thread?

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/syrian-missile-strikes-macron-s-most-significant-military-action-1.3462587 According to the Irish times, the President of France telephoned Putin at noon on Friday and the French DM says that the Russians were warned before the raid. The article...

This is my line of thinking. If the US wants to destroy a few minor targets in Syria that won't change the status quo, why would Russia try to stop it? edited to add: but, as others have mentioned it may have been impossible for the Russians to detect and engage the cruise missiles, as it is...

Maybe there was no real benefit to shooting down the cruise missiles? If Russia attempted to shoot down US missiles there would be a financial cost and it could escalate the conflict.  Russian SAMs aren't free and there are only so many of them in Syria. Why use them to defend against a...

Many CAF members are visibly obese and look very un-soldierly in uniform. The CAF and the public seem to accept that.

If search doesn’t find it you might be able to try: Type Winnipeg.mil.ca in to address bar (I think) on dwan. This brings u to the 17 wing site. Then look for 17 wing lodger units - cfsas - then courses there should be a course schedule, course info, etc You might have to browse a bit to...

I thought NES Ops worked the fire control radars? And don’t NCI Ops do ESM on the subs?

I believe the CFSAS offers a DL basic electronic warfare course as well. It was pretty easy and would benefit a NCIOP as it is partly about radars and the  jamming of radars

if you tell the rental company that you are a government employee and ask nicely they will usually allow a second driver for free. (at least in my limited experience) I don't remember what kind of credit card I had, but I think the CO had to approve the application for it, so it might be the...

1. Couldn’t your subordinates just say they don’t have personal credit cards? Or that their credit cards are maxed out? There is no way for you to check. 2. Doesn’t the military issue credit cards just for this purpose? (Or have the military credit cards been discontinued?) 3. Would their be...

Random story: One time when I was in the navy I went to a career manager / MOC briefing. Someone asked the CPO what the navy was going to do to reduce the number of people releasing. The CPO answered that the navy wasn’t going to do anything because it was a self-correcting problem. He...
