    Hybrid Warfare and Sabotage

    Paging GRU Unit 29155 (Clandestine Ops and Assassinations) Mainly as they have been fingered for most of the stuff in the West previously.

    Generally in early to middle teenagers BMI is a pretty good indicator though. Beyond that, the new Army Fitness Test down here is actually fairly good. They got rid of the asinine standing power throw from the Army Combat Fitness Test that caused injury and no one seems to understand...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The ASP Report was by the author I mentioned above. No one went back and checked that they used the CDC data but instead of understanding what it meant, took it to mean that that it was service members being obese at that rate - not upcoming American youth.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Careful someone may call you on your sources. Based on CDC data it is actually 19% the ‘author’ of the 70% study Courtney Manning Didn’t seem to actually know how, or care to filter data. The 70% number came from the CDC data that said 70% young Americans are not eligible to join the...

    Infantry Vehicles

    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...

    5 Aug 2026 - Attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport

    Sanctions should be via LRPF… Just saying

    Infantry Vehicles

    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...

    3 RCR transfers to the Light Infantry Regiment

    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...

    Future Armour

    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...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    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...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    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...

    Future Armour

    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...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

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

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    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.

    Future Armour

    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...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    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...
