Do you think that config provides enough range given what we've seen in Libya and then Armenia with the Turkish Baktayar (sp?)? Based on my limited knowledge that system wouldn't give you the required range to protect our troops. To throw another alternative, given we are sourcing them for the...

Just to clarify, you're referencing the Finnish budget target, correct?  Not Canadian? Merci, Matthew.

Another update.... https://mobile.twitter.com/IntelCrab/status/1290782284686266372

Read three interesting things of note: 1.  The red smoke is apparently associated with older generations.of missile propellant 2.  The Lebanese Health Minister has supposedly requested an evacuation from the air out of fear the gas is highly toxic.  Not being an expert I'm not sure if that...

What a stupid retort.... I don't give a flying ____ if you live there.  If you want to stand behind what Erdogan has done (silencing and jailing journalists & political enemies, flattening Kurdish cities within Turkish borders, committing genocide in Afrin and Idlib and the supporting of...

Except it wasn't just the Kurds that ISIS were killing.  It was Kurds, Yezidi, Shia and anyone deemed "not Sunni-enough".....and it's apparent that fits just fine with Erdogan's worldview.  He had tonnes of leverage to modify ISIS behaviour and so it is rational to assume they acted exactly like...

I'd be quite happy if started holding the illegal gun dealers much more accountable. If an illegal gun you sold was used in a murder = Automatic 10 years. And before the naysayers jump in and start complaining about "What about the UHaul dealers?", it's apples and oranges. One is renting a...

Thanks Mark..... :salute:

Why does it say "Quebec" below its name? 

Based on some reading I've done on side effects causing various psychosis issues (worse in developing brains), I have a bad feeling that our new-found freedoms are going to come back and bite us in the ass, bigtime. Specific Predictions: 1.  Adding taxes to Cannabis in a 'legalized'...

The design would likely need to be stretched to improve endurance, would it not?

If you want to hit them in the wallet, put a "national security tax" on all airline tickets to the United States and rescind the duty-free exemption.

I think the first Babcock link is for Arrowhead 120 which I think they took off the table....

They lost official party status..... One of the pundits last night said that the Liberals are likely in really bad shape as he believes they took out a bunch of debt for the election and now without the higher level of funding, they'll have a heck of time paying it back. 

I remain stupified by the Ontario PC Party's ability to nominate the worst possible candidates given the choices available.... I will be voting PC because my fear of Doug Ford's combination of obnoxiousness and stupidity is only slightly lower than my fear of Andrea's candidates' "crazy". For...

That may have been testing on the 6.5 Grendel....

I thought we had aircraft effectively based at Trenton, Comox, Gander, etc. as well?  Even if the squadron administration's are still centralized in Cold Lake and Bagotville? My point being if we do deployments to those.bases, we should account for those requirements  in the planning stages...

Totally disagree about Baby Boomers having paid their way. It may not have been you personally, but as a generation, the vast majority of entitlements and the associated liabilities as well as debt accumulation has occurred while you held sway in the voting demographics. In addition, for the...

For us civvies (as it's hard to have this discussion  without current deployment context) what's the approximate distribution of Cf188's per base now?

Our healthcare costs (electives like knee replacements and palliative care) will bankrupt us regardless of economic growth in coming years.  If it were me: 1.  Doctor assisted suicide needs to be approved asap (after seeing my grandmother post-stroke, that's actually as much a moral view as...
