1 Bde would be an ‘Armoured’ Bde, the others being not, I don’t think it’s surprising that the resultant support structure (inc combat support) be different. Ideally the Infantry in 1 Bde would be in a tracked IFV as well. But Canada being Canada will likely retain LAV for that role. The LIR...

For the most part the GoC has been fine with that for years, as the ‘splash zone’ has been fairly unpopulated. Landing in any populated area of Canada will cause significant American casualties.

I mean the GRU sends its people everywhere. The Diplomatic cover folks generally are there to draw attention away from the ones there illegally and doing all sorts of bad things. For years Russia claimed the little green men had no affiliation to Russia and that when some showed up...

Coming back to this. Technically regardless of Castle Law state or not, any round that strikes a third party one would/should be liable for. Now as far as the State goes, that may or may it be the case due to the County. However the possibility is if one isn’t charged by the State, the...

Depends on the neighbor ;) Most Castle Law states allow for it as long as they are still on your property.

Well to keep Chalk River at bay, they need at least SHORAD and tactical nuclear delivery capability. :sneaky:

Unfortunately by the time Western Military and Political powers get into rhythm, Russia is usually already onto 3-4 different other nefarious Grey Zone operations.

At the end of the day, the side that can gather more information, process it quicker, and act on it faster, will be able to shape the battle.

In this instance NATO as a collective (as well as individual European member states) have AEWACC and individual members have AD Radar Nets and AD systems, as well as Alert Aircraft dedicated for NATO and domestic patrol. Militarily the kill chain was shortened. Politically there is now the...

Ability has always existed. Willingness has not.

No longer a direct threat, but still a potential threat. The onus is on you to articulate why your continued use of force was justifiable. As far as you can articulate a reasonable reason. Down here lethal force can be used on a fleeing felon.

I think he’s planning on a dismountable contingent on them.

I’d argue the threat assessment requires other GoC assets, mainly the RCMP and CSIS, as well as Allied IC. The CAF can formulate based on those assessments, but is realistically not setup to make informed decisions without outside assistance as to what threats exists to Canada and their...

Clone. The other white meat?

Some countries are in better positions than in others. Some countries also seem to have a clearer vision of the goal than others. Data: acquisition, transfer, storage, safeguarding, analysis, prioritization and distribution is significantly more important than a lot of people believe.

I will disagree on Brandishing as there are multiple definitions and none a defined criminal offense (even in Canada :cool: ) Simple possession doesn’t by itself imply threat or intent. Now pointing it at someone, yeah that’s a bingo. Clearly one’s actions with it can be interpreted as...

I generally agree. Most vehicles these days (or at least combat vehicles) are being designed with the plan of some form of additional armor to be added as theatre specific protection. Some have done it well, and others have not. Interestingly enough GDLS manages to be on both extreme...

So far he seems to have been happy solely with his name for it, and has been distracted by his new career in naval architecture. The theoretical benefits to this (Golden Dome) go way beyond national security, but can also assist with SAR, and beyond.

It’s to the point that each time Russia does this NATO should collectively just send a Tomahawk somewhere in Russia that will cause problems. But at least now NATO counties are shooting down Russian intruders.

The key to Golden Dome is sensor fusion/data processing, it’s not an Iron Dome type setup (though it can coordinate interceptor options) Lots of specific Canadian niches that will likely end up involved in it. Ignore the stupid naming aspect from Midas…
