1)It is just a matter of time before we start to get some LAVs blown-up by RPGs. If the can destroy Russian MBTs, even if they are not well armoured, they can certainly destroy LAVs. 2)The MMEV will be an "awesome vehicle" for the first 20 seconds of combat..... until it runs out of missiles...

Le double je sais pas, économie initialle de 4,4 milliadrs moins 0,5 milliard à payer à EH Industries comme frais de cancèlation, moins ce que ca a couté de garder les Labrdors et Sea King opérationnels encore plus longtemps (sans oublier améliorer les Sea King en attendant), moins le prix des...

C'est pas pour critiquer mais.....un site en français avec un nom en anglais?  ::) Bon ok peu importe.  :salute:

Le Sikorsky H92 a été choisi comme nouvel hélicoptère maritime des Forces canadiennes. Deux contrats seront adjugés à Sikorsky. Le premier contrat portera sur l'acquisition de 28 hélicoptères, y compris les modifications à apporter aux 12 navires de la classe Halifax. Le second contrat est une...

Je suis pour, même si il n'y a pas grand chose que je peut faire pour aider. Ce serait bien de pouvoir cliquer sur le bouton ''Vérifier l'Ortographe'' (Spell Check) sans que tout le texte soit ''mal écrit''. Il faudrait aussit s'assurer d'une manière ou d'une autre que le nouveau site soit assez...

I think the rangers are the masterpiece of our northern defence and we should ''give them a bigger piece of the puzzle'' if you see what I mean. There are currently 4,000 Canadian Rangers in 165 communities across Canada. This number is expected to increase to 4,800 by March 2008, however, as...

Oh yes it is amazing. When I tell people that I want to go in the army, they allways say something like: ''Huh, you will get killed, they will send you in Irak'' And then I say: ''The Canadian Army does not send troops in Irak.'' The person says: ''We don't have any army.'' Another responds...

It has an aotoloader? Can you give me your link because Mr. Google dosen't want to give me any site that says more than '' The LWSP is a variant of the XM777''. Thank you.

It is necessary to fit hydraulically operated stabilisers and firing spades to wheeled platforms for the vehicle to withstand the recoil. The LAV would not have any rear compartment but the AGM instead so weight would be reduced compared to the G6 turret on a LAV, for example. It would also...

No, you modify it right now, and keep it until the 3 others get into service.

Interesting article about modifying the CCGS Amundsen: http://www.sfu.ca/casr/ft-harper1-2sb.htm 

LAVs have better armor than M113 and better mobility than Archer. What is more important is commonality. We already have a lot of LAVs but we do not have any Archer trucks.

Humm, I don't think this is the one (39 caliber, manual loading). Maybe LAV-AGM. ( http://www.army-technology.com/projects/artillery/ ) Artillery Gun Module (AGM) is an air-transportable, medium-weight, turreted self-propelled howitzer based on the proven technology of the PzH 2000 SP howitzer...

Have some links for that? Sounds interesting. I did a search and found nothing. Thanks.

OK, I give up. As long that our army has something better than this MOBAT crap to give me a hand when I get in trouble in the future is fine for me.

I don't get why you need a tank transporter for the PzH 2000, it is only 10 km/h slower than Archer. We could also make it faster and lighter by making it 2-man crew, taking off the commander sight and fire-control and re-engine it with a more powerful but just as big euro pwr pack.

It is so heavy because it carries 60 rds.....so it does not need another vehicule to carry more rds. Its weight would be reduced if we would operate it with 2 men wich is possible. Compare the 2-men 50 T PzH 2000 with the 3/4 man Archer and the 2 men ammo vehicle you will see the PzH is not bad...

The Leo 2 comes in at about 60 000 kg in its latest variants A mixed fleet of LAVs and Leo 2 mbt/other variants would not be such a big logistical problem. The French are doing like that with VAB/VBCI and Leclerc. The USMC is an expeditionary fighting force and they operate 70 T mbts and LAVs.

Did you check the link? This is an electrically operated revolving magazine which permits the loader to load the gun in less than 2 sec. It has a protective container for every of the 10 rds and a built-in tester.

Une des infos sur l'An-70 sont fausses... autonomie: 5000 km avec 30 000 kg
