    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    I don't see the PRes artillery getting enough training time on the real stuff, which is going to impact retention.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    At some point troopies want to smell gunpowder and feel the "Bang". Simulators are great, but why put up with all the other BS, just to play a boring video game, when you can play more interesting ones at home? If they get an AD role, give them some 25mm AD guns to work with or you start seeing...

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Someone snorting good stuff for this article: As part of that high-end mix, the Navy also wants to buy 15 new Trump-class battleships by 2055, including three in the next five years. The report spends 876 words laying out the Navy’s rationale for the battleship, including its potential to...

    FDI French "Light Frigate" at 4400DWT

    I get to feeling that corrasion related to excess spray will be an issue. I also suspect that the sea keeping is good up to a certain wave height and then worse than a traditional bow.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I suspect as the support becomes more common, how and what you do in the North will change. You guys just got the AOP's and haven't even really pushed the limits of what you can do up there with them. Having a helicopter aboard is going to change the way you do things.

    Catalina II enters production?

    So a new version of the Iconic Catalina/Canso was not on my radar, but there are claims that it has entered production. I hope it succeed, just because I love to see some flying by, now that I can't get my Martin Mars fix anymore.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    UAV's for that will be great, but the helicopter will allow you to transfer people back and forth and sling supplies in great quantity than what most cargo UAV's are currently doing.

    Angus Topshee, outspoken head of Canada's navy, promoted to vice chief of defence staff

    Perhaps they moved him there in the hopes he will fail and become more muted on RCN matters?

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Well we are always being told the AOPs is a non-combatant, so this is a good way to increase her effectiveness at minimal cost. The RN runs two sizes of helicopters as well and likley we are not getting anymore Cyclones.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    All joking aside, I think this is going to be good for the RCN and will open their eyes to what a non-Cyclone helicopter can offer them. There are a lot of tasks they will be able to do with this capability.

    Ontario Government (Conservative majority), 2025-29

    I tried to enroll my daughter into a hobby welding course, there was nobody offering such, despite the proliferation of cheap small welders on the market. Also all of the shop classes in my area are gutted and at best are a mere shadow of what they once where.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    Meanwhile CN wants to abandon the existing railline north of Squamish into the interior of BC. There is corporation pushback on that, but the current softwood crisis is not helping. Personally I would like to see the railline between Minette and Dease Lake completed. Then push it into the Yukon...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Mind you a lot of that missile magazine is buried in tunnels that have been sealed off. Eventually Iran will be able to open up those tunnels if left alone, that was always a reality. There is no way of knowing how viable a lot of those missile will be after being subject to the shockwaves and...
