    The Ghosts of Liberals/ Democrats Past thread.

    So Fishbone quoted the PM and pointed out that it is unlikely that he has changed his position significantly. How is that being a echo-chamber, seems more like speaking out about a justified concern.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Quite a few of the "original" Beavers and single Otters flying around, are new aircraft built around a existing data plate.

    A-10 Warthog

    If the US got called into quelling the various African wars, the A-10 and other CAS aircraft would be busy and at most face a Manpad threat from the ground. COIN is not currently on the menu, but could easily be back on with the change in political needs.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    I think now would be a good time to put some civilian experts onto the issue of how long does it last in exposed conditions and what might be the best way to retrieve it. Apparently the price of fiberoptic cable is skyrocketing...

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Tomorrow may be to late to protect those field for potentiel future agricultural use. I am thinking aerial drones with grapples to recover/collect the fibre optic to a safe point, where it can be reeled in onto a collection drum. As the battlefield shifts, clearing teams will be needed.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    A whole crapload of research and trials to figure out how to recover most of that fibreoptic cable in a area full of mine/UEO and what is the effect on the environment and how fast will it break down.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    That's the rub, if you are asking for protection money, you kind of need to deliver. The US also needs to quietly bang KSA and UAE heads together and say: "Sort out your squabble in Yemen and form a united front to squeeze the Houthis.

    More than 1,000 KIA everyday, a brutal month for Russian soldiers.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    It is really in the interest of the world to fix Yemen and squeeze the Houthi back into their little enclave in the mountains. It does not help that KSA and UAE started a proxy war against each other there, just before the Iranian conflict kicked off. KSA and UAE need to be told to sort out...

    Not to mention Egypt, KSA, and India. I also see a lot of pipeline moving product to new terminals, away from those choke points.

    A-10 Warthog

    Challenge with autonomous system, would we let them loose in battlefields still filled with significant civilian populations or where our troops are heavily mixed with the enemy? There are countries out there that would use civilians as human shields to deter our automated systems. Whatever we...

    A-10 Warthog

    I think having a mix protects you from being horribly exposed when the enemy is able to jam/corrupt/hijack your unmanned stuff.
