https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianForces/s/egMEit9jGf The instructions for the new DICE armour was posted. Includes a break down of what will be issued.

Dont need to be that long of endurance to work over the flot Potentially, veg will be the largest factor. Change your mindset - detected equals engaged. So stripping armour is a high risk activity. Plan your route accordingly. Please provide an example of conventional coalition forces...

They're optimized to be CPs and Ambs and the shape follows. Same height as a lav 6 turret.

Its not at all like the m113, it simply is too big to be close to the flot.

I think it was more about driving to have actual armour instead of fake shit on live ranges.

I've not once seen that scenario

UAS can operate in the arctic, and in jungles. Thats a poorly thought out argument. You will be located, you will be targeted, if thats an FPV or by a recce fires complex it makes no difference. Mitigation of exhaustion is a poor reason to accept higher casualties from the most likely result...

Sorry I wanted to add this in. We teach that the infil is always the most dangerous portion of a patrol. So why would we wear our least protection during the most dangerous phase?

The idea of humping out your armour is flawed, deeply. It comes from the idea that the threat is direct fire from an enemy detecting visually by soldiers on the ground. Thats simply not going to be the case. If you're detected on a patrol you will be engaged by indirect or drone fire and they...

Certainly hope so

Itd almost bit really meant to do APC jobs, but in the context of Ukraine is doing so .

For anyone calling it "noise" https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1j8kw866p3t

Until we need to forward deploy them

Nope

So the "freedom convoy" should have been shot?

Yup in an uncontested air environment accept no substitute.

Yes arrested immediately after they got off public transit. The police did their job, which usually doesn't include summery murder of moms in vans saying " im not mad bro."

A 10s carry aim 9 the same way m109s have pintle mounts. APKWS is viable for drones but thats probably not the best use of an A10, and its a pretty limited role. An FA50 can fill out FLIT requirement while also providing a low range multi role fighter capability.

Because that light fighter can employ aim 120 aim 9, and has AESA radar. Using the A10s gun to shoot done drones is like skating a fly with a sledge hammer. Hey JTFN put in the RFE not me.

The RCN used to have armed security at the front gates, they have trades that can port over fairly well. So does the army.
