Just a guess, but my money is on the P-8.

CP I didn't know that. Thanks.

Starfighter buff here. I think the twin engine Voodoo was our NORAD interceptor and that the Starfighter was with NATO in Europe in a nuclear bomber / recce / ground attack role. I know some Starfighters were used for training in Canada, but I think the operational ones were in Europe. Do you...

Nope. It's not. It's part of the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System. It uses radar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLENS And no camera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLENS

No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLENS

Who thought that? November 2014 http://in.rbth.com/economics/2014/11/07/admiral_nakhimov_missile_to_spearhead_russian_navy_39551 March 2015: http://7fbtk.blogspot.ca/2015_03_01_archive.html August 2015: http://armscontrolwonk.com/ I found those sources on Google. Hopefully American...

I'm not sure that these sites are up to date, but if you are bored and willing to compare the three sites and do the 'math' you can probably get a good estimate on numbers by squadron. http://rwrwalker.ca/CH146_detailed_1.html http://www.canadianwings.com/Aircraft/Database/listpage.php?page=921...

In Ottawa I've seen them use a chalk line at important parades

Some how the British Army Air Corps manages with NCO pilots. I recommend reading Hellfire by WO1 Ed Macy http://www.amazon.com/Hellfire-Ed-Macy/dp/0007288212 And this fellow seems to have been a WO1 during the Jugroom Fort rescue mission...

I'm no expert on the subject of enlisted sailors conning ships, but it seems to occur in the US Navy. I'm not sure how common it is though. USN Enlisted Officer of the Deck http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=86342 USN Enlisted Junior Officer of the Deck...

My guess is that the commissionaire isn't enforcing the Asticou gym's policy or the policy at Asticou has changed. Edited to add: Is there no gym at your place of work?

I think you have misread the website. The site says that the National Printing Bureau's gym is only for "in house" military members. It states: http://www.cg.cfpsa.ca/cg-pc/Ottawa/EN/Facilities/MiniGyms/NPB/Pages/default.aspx Additionally, many NCR gyms are located in 'secure' facilities that...

Did a Saudi fighter crash? Foxtrot Alpha is reporting that the 'aircraft wreckage' is just droptanks and AIM-120C missiles. The article states that it is possible that a Saudi fighter dropped its external stores. It goes on to state that this does not mean an aircraft didn't crash, but that the...

Why would you want to destroy your enemy before they can engage you? I hope that was a joke. The goal is obviously to destroy your enemy before they can destroy you - it’s a fundamental principle of warfare. I would also argue that a couple of Tomahawks are a relatively cheap price to pay for...

I know you're a HullTech and that this isn't your 'part ship', but I just wanted to correct a couple misconceptions: 1. I'm not aware of any RFA vessels that are fitted with the Goalkeeper CIWS. If it had a CIWS it was likely the Phalanx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS ...

Presumably the writer only considers ships with fixed wing aircraft to be aircraft carriers. The Osumi class and Dokdo class do not carry fixed wing aircraft. The Príncipe de Asturias was decommissioned on 6 February 2013. I do believe that 1 x Italian carrier is missing from the list.

I'll start by saying that I think I'm fairly good at polishing boots.  With these new parade boots I couldn't get any shine and the polish would barely even stick to the leather (especially around the instep.) I stripped the boots using soap, water and a green scrub pad. I stripped the boots...

I agree that there are smart people in the civilian world. The specific way an air defence system operates is generally secret and neither the people using the systems, nor those who intend to use Electronic Counter Measures to defeat that system are likely to just give that information away...

Jamming is very complex and expensive.  You are asking about the missile being modified to beat the jammer, but the more important question is how does the jammer defeat the missile in the first place? The jammer will need to be able to detect and then identify the threat and then it would...
