    The problem I have is in determining what is "mis" and what is "ill". As I noted above, in a sideways manner, even reputable sources see fit to revise their information from time to time. Information is information. It is up to us to make of it what we will.

    The Emerging CAF Deep Sense-Strike Complex

    Do we have to say "Canadian" when we are talking amongst ourselves? Why do we have to describe everything as Canadian? Can't we just assume that our organizations are Canadian? I can understand talking about Canadian Brigades in an allied setting but why aren't our brigades simply 1st, 2nd...

    The Emerging CAF Deep Sense-Strike Complex

    I'm sorry but I don't get how Ukraine, a country with no weapons and no money is managing to create exactly the information network being discussed here in months, not decades, using commercially available tools. Are we letting security concerns get in the way? Isn't it important to see the...

    My understanding is that the power pack and controls are all in one compartment and encapsulated. The payloads are designed to operate at particular depths. The cargo comparments in which the payloads are carried are wet. The water pressure, in fact the water itself, inside the coparment is...

    Isn't that the case with the Dive-LD / Ghost Shark? "One of the key differences from a traditional crewed submarine is that most of this weapon can be flooded, with sensors and weapons encased in pressure sanctuaries, instead of the entire hull being primarily designed to protect the crew...
