FIFY.

Yes my mistake.

Quite honestly, I don’t know. I’ve heard a number of reasons/theories from some decently senior green suiters. Best I can tell it was ahead of its time, but not advanced enough to capture a lot of flash from brass if that make’s sense? Plus the question of whose rice bowl was it going to...

Sanctions should be via LRPF… Just saying

I’ll be honest some of the Bn’s with ISV’s are doing things that are really impressive, others one wonders why the good idea fairy cursed them. There are some things one cannot really carry. Not all MBCT’s are alike - and fielding things that don’t fit in a rucksack. Generally I agree with...

In the spirit of fitted for not with. All qualified Only 1 Coy kept current. :unsure: I never got the idea of the solo Para Coy - there was no organized exercises between the Para Coy’s, for a while 3 VP’s Para Coy would try to steal folks from 1 VP for Cas Para into ex’s to to to fill...

Honestly that’s part of the reason I think the Canadian Guards should be brought back. Nothing really related to future Armour — but my 0.02 Move all the LIB to PPCLI cap badges 3 RCR becomes 1 PPCLI, 3 22eR becomes 2 PPCLI, 3 PPCLI continues to admire its hair. Move to new CAF base...

45 may have. 47 I agree not a chance. One can’t forget Israel gets a vote as well. As for your #3, he setup the Afghan exit, and ignored Taliban breaching the agreement multiple times to hand the mess off to incoming President Biden. Who then also ignore the Taliban breaching the...

You don’t need a mast to get height. https://www.unmannedsystemstechnology.com/feature/how-variable-height-antennas-are-transforming-tactical-drone-communications/ Honestly I see LCAV as some dudes/dudettes in something like 2 ISV, running all three types of Class I UAS and UGV’s from micro...

The CA never ceases to amaze ;) TBH I never could fathom how new Leo2’s were acquired without a tracked IFV back when Afghan money existed. Light Infantry Regiment/Bde has 3 roles currently. Probably could easily be justified to expand beyond 3 BN. I still see Russia as the number 1...

I swear she was part of the first wave of Make America as Colossally Stupid as Possible.

Far better methods exist for comms than a mast. Unfortunately no one is building LAV 2.0 platforms anymore. Even if they were, adding another platform isn’t going to streamline things.

Good catch I knew there was a larger blast spec but blew by it (pardon the pun) I am cautiously optimistic that the CA is accepting that wheels have a role, but so do tracks. I will be much happier if there is at least 2 Bde of Heavy Armoured Vehicles. My next area of concern is that one...

I don’t think anyone disagrees with you. The problem is the narrative for this war is entirely nonsensical and flips and flops depending on the day. So at this time there is little appetite for anyone to be willing to pay the bill. Ironically POTUS, could have got the G-7 together and...

RCN task Russians can’t walk to Canada easily.

I will assume that means STANAG 4569 Level 6 - basically 500m protection from 30mm APFSDS ammunition Next assumption that is frontal arc only, for upper glacis and turret. It will be interesting to see if there is a multi hit protection requirement in there as well. That basically requires...

They technically were not Light. There where a smattering of AVGP’s, and IIRC 3VP had 2 TUA The CAR was the only regular force Light Infantry entity. Most PRes units were light, simply due to lack of equipment. In the post 9/11 era, parts of the Army have tried to kill light forces —...

Even more reason to take the PPCLI lock stock and barrel.

Iran did not. Russia probably reminded them from a seat at that table…

While the ISV came with no BLL weapons, most employing formations have opted to mount weapons onto them. There really is no Army doctrine for the ISV Individual Bde’s are experimenting with different employment methods, as well as different equipping. Ones with fixed comms and weapons do...
