Biggest issues for the Marine environment is supply and support. Unlike the other terrain you mention above, a BN has no integral assets to resupply over water. As well unless you get big into the man made island game, you can’t just sit down HIMARS systems all over the ocean to provide...

Unfortunately there are a number of people in a lot of NATO countries that are unwilling to accept this, either due to a general lack of understand of Putin and Russia under Putin -- or have been led to false conclusions by Russian state sponsored disinformation (and now Iranian, Chinese and...

To me anything a rifleman carries should be optimized for the close fight. With things like NLOS MAPAT missiles, the distinction of what is close starts to get blurred. I tend to believe it is better to have things with with ranges +10km at a function higher than an Armor or Infantry (or...

I would say that Russia has actively been at war with the West for some time. One of the latest. Explosive drone at German airport linked to Russian military intelligence, US intel source says Going back 12 years, it is an open secret that the GRU blew up the weapons depot in Vrbětice Czechia...

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7321847 Some thought down here is that Canada took issue with some of the language on external trade deals wrt strategic minerals and foreign ownership. Best guess is that it was perhaps a clumsy way to say we can’t have China involved in some things...

The USMC Squad has been in a near constant state of flux for the past decade. It is already very large, and has been shift back and forth from 13-17 Marines. I do not see the logic in pushing a 20km system down below the Company Wpns Platoon. In an extremely dispersed environment, one...

TBH the dash/instrument panel on the Patria is clearly purpose built. One suspects that shortly it will become practical for Roshel to go that route as well / mainly to be able to incorporate various features on the displays there, and not have a lot of clunky crap in the center. The...

Imagine my surprise…

Idiocracy: the unfortunate documentary

He lost his ‘deniable’ with the admissions that then Wagner was a defacto arm of the Russian state. Regardless of it’s called Redut or not, it’s a wing of VDV 45th Guards Spetsnaz Reconnaissance Brigade. No one really believes those soldiers are ‘on leave’. Short of quickly throwing a slew...

Local LE ERT can kinetically terminate those types of folks. You’re requiring now some sort of GPS enabled system. That is a tad more complicated than the original threat of a quadcopter using VFR. There are many potential threats — the folks who have the capability/ability and desire to...

I think Trump 45 had some very capable people around him. Trump 47 seems to value loyalty over competence, with all the intelligence long gone ,and I think we are all suffering from that.

If you want them to be effective, then they need to be relatively near, solely due to latency. The bandwidth requirements for large scale applications is significant.

I suspect if you ran a business like this it might go bankrupt… Oh wait, he did. The fact he ran on cutting prices, and everything here is going up (albeit in VA a lot of that is also due to our Democratic Governor also being about as economically intelligent as our President ).

Unlikely, global society revolves around travel, and air is the fastest means of travel. Air travel has weathered the hijackings of the 70-80’s, the bombings of the 90’s and 9/11. Any state supported terrorism against aircraft tends to results in the targeting of the leaders of that regime...

If Canada wanted to be truly independent from US tech in that respect that Aircraft is the only option that is available from a friendly allied nation. I still hope that some sanity can be restored, on both sides of the border.

Oh well unfortunately it got a US engine and some other stuff that could make it a no/go He’s advocating economic suicide between two long term partners. While I think everyone can agree that Canada freeloaded for decades, it is hard to rationalize his current stance on Canadian trade (and...
