It frankly will be better to get regime change in Cuba, sooner than later. This removes it from the threat matrix. Lot's of pressure and back door for select individuals to leave safely and a promise to drop sanctions, along with a lease extension for the base.

With most DJI drones, they fly themselves and you direct them to where and how to get there. They will take action to avoid having you fly them into an obstacle.

!5th Fd is clearly unhappy with your OrBat

Are people generally happy with it?

A good history lesson on disruptive technologies and Navy mindsets.

Speaking of which, who made the .50cal RWS systems currently on the Halifax Class? It would seem they would be a good addition to the RCD, AOP's and even the new Orca class and the JSS.

The possibility is that China may invade some of the islands close to the mainland, but avoid the main island. That bite by bite strategy will work with minimal causalities and minimal international pushback. Taiwan already knows those islands are indefensible and they and all the...

It seems that packing the punch of a Halifax into a smaller hull AND having the range and some ice capabilities is a very hard ask. I suspect also the RCN fears that a 4,000ish DWT "Corvette" is going to eat the RCD lunch down the road as future politicians start trimming the fat. I suspect...

Ah yes just like the good old days

Davie also finalizes deal with the USCG, 2 breakers to be built in Finland and 3 in the US Davie Defense Finalizes $3.5 Billion U.S. Coast Guard Arctic Security Cutter Deal

Belarus is heating up, I suspect their leader is making some noise and concessions to keep Putin happy, but I suspect he won't trigger all out war.

Maybe the RN will sell us one of theirs?

Logical, from China viewpoint, there is no profit in this war and it affects their bottom line and energy security. The good thing about this visit is it should reduce tensions between two superpowers and keep the conflict regional.
