I'm not sure I like the idea of these autonomous ships....I think we all know where it leads Joking aside, if we go with the KS III submarine we could have Hanwha co-locate one of these automated shipyards with our submarine maintenance facilities.

Are you suggesting that the US take unilateral military action against an Iranian ship in Pakistani or Indian territorial waters? The US could ask/pressure Pakistan and India to do it themselves but I'm guessing they may not be that interested in becoming a party to the conflict...

To borrow a term from my kid's Harry Potter books, the Regs don't want their units contaminated with "mudbloods".

Twin Otter for the win!

Not defending Ford and really can't speak to the relative cost effectiveness of a government owned aircraft vs commercial flight but would just like to note that Ontario is larger than France and Spain combined or double the size of Japan. The Premier does also travel outside the country to...

Treaties and alliances work great...until they don't. That's why nations need to look to their own defence first.

Siege warfare is what you get when the opposing sides have similar doctrines, technologies and strength. Neither side has the distinct advantage over the other so it becomes a battle of attrition. Not the optimal mode of warfare that you'd like to get into. The decisive outcomes in warfare...

Ukraine is showing absolutely amazing innovation. I wonder though if some (much?) of that innovation is being "wasted" on getting better at the war that they have and not on getting out of that and into the war they want/need. They are stuck in a war of attrition with a larger enemy that...

Now I could be wrong but my concern is that this seems to be an RCN initiative rather than a joint CAF proposal. What do the CA and RCAF want/need out of this platform and what assets/equipment/planning are they going to dedicate to make it effective? If you don't have buy-in from all the...

Is it possible taking automation too far could have the perverse result of leaving you with too few sailors? If the bulk of your platforms are uncrewed and you use automation to reduce the crew size of the remaining platforms that are crewed then your pool of trained humans becomes smaller...

Well, I guess the name is at least truth in advertising

In Trump's 6th term he raises Maverick and Goose from the dead and they fly a star fighter to destroy the Chinese space laser on the moon.

I think FPV drones, etc. are the right weapon for the extremely dispersed Ukrainian battlefield. When you might only have a dozen frontline troops covering a KM of front then SUAVs allow you to have lots of inexpensive eyes all over the front to find and engage those isolated targets. They...

Remember those reports from a while back about thousands of Chinese fishing boats travelling in formation? https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/china-fishing-boats What if you deploy those 2,000 fishing boats as a physical shield around your invasion fleet and even equip some of them with...

There is absolutely no doubt that Justin Trudeau was an absolute disaster for the Canadian economy, but the Conservatives really need to pivot their messaging from the past to the present if they want to be seen as a good alternative to the Carney Liberals. Report tracks capital flight between...

The Ukraine updates with Michael Kofman on the War on the Rocks podcast are really excellent and give some great insights and details on the war. https://warontherocks.com/update-from-the-battlefield-drones-distance-and-diminishing-returns-for-russia/ A couple of things they touched on in this...
