Watervliet Arsenal is a hundred year old brick building. I was very disappointed when viewing it how old things where, and this was after the Army had spend millions of dollars on the facility. Frankly I am not sure of one could get a machine into the various buildings at this point to...

You also (and several others here) tend to gloss over issues that have been brought up here repeatedly. 1) Creating a Gen4 Manufacturing facility in Canada isn’t going to be economically viable. 2) Saab has no Gen 5 Experience and at this point is an aimless orphan sitting around in the Gen...

No first world nation is setting up a program to buy or build 4rg Fighters. That is the point. You enjoy ignoring context don’t you. You probably are that shortsighted you think that would be a win for Canada.

Okay everyone gets it you hate America and Trump. But doing any Gripen stuff is throwing good money after bad. It’s a Gen 4 fighter. The only market for that are fools and suckers. Canada has a lot of IRB’s on F-35, all you are doing is giving reasons to pull every single US Defense...

I believe that is what they mean. Airbus has been adamant that everyone jump on the NEO bus or…

Gas has been erratic here. From 4.25 to 5.78 in the space on 8 miles for a Gallon of Premium.

And ? You are suggesting what?

From what Airbus has put out there will be no more non NEO MRTT models made.

Broken Clock and all that. She’s actually been much more rational than most of 47’s Cabinet

Hostage taking works up to the point when the hostages aren’t worth as much as getting rid of the hostage takers(s).

US funding is generally designed to increase safety measure in already established foreign government programs, as well as gain access to information learned.

Iran in the rear view of a Israeli F-35… If Iran doesn’t stop Hez, I sadly do see this as an Israeli COA, especially if Israel feels abandoned. They don’t have the depth without making massive pushes into Lebanon, which will still leave the IDF vulnerable to SUAS strikes. You can’t...

I really don’t know enough about that to comment with any confidence.

Except that LocMart closed the line as well. The C-5M upgrades were not entirely new airframes. The C-5M is entirely a strategic airlift aircraft, as it has no rough field capability like the C-17. The C-17 is a combo strategic anirlift asset and tactical airlift. It is relatively...

A lot of those FPV UAS have HEAT/Shaped Charge Warheads.

PEO Soldier pushed a bridge to far with IVAS. Honestly it is a really good system for some tasks. It can teach (or monitor) by E-D-I especially for some technical tasks. However the view screen is extremely disorienting for a number of people. If you are like me and VR systems get you...

I’m not sure the C-390 can fill a lot of roles the C-130 excels at. Rough field capability and STOL.

Had the Afghanistan mission lasted longer that opinion may have been reversed. But yeah I don’t think it was a worthwhile change overall.

See my HICAR post above. The Army is already salivating at throwing the M7 in the trash. Next will be LMG and LAMG in high pressure ammo. With the advantage of being in a NATO standard caliber not some 6.8 Big Stupid Army wet dream.

Loaded question. Pros: Higher ground clearance for obstacle crossing and stand off from mines and IED. Cons: Much higher CoG which has made it a lot less stable. Bizzare interior layout
