Funny that a guy that used to work the line in a sawmill in Vancouver is now the CEO of the world's leading rocket manufacturer.

Well you better tell the PAO's to update what they pump out. I grew up with pairs of fighters being shown "Patrolling Canada's North and coasts" Plus it's not clear who is doing what when you go online and if you use AI, it clearly believes that is the case. Causal observers will conclude that...

Old problems require modern solutions. UGV is programed to aim at target pinned to prisoner, once firing is selected, the gun will fire in a random interval between 5-15 seconds.

A tragic event that created some worry it was related to truth and reconciliation is likley trigged by a medical event that happened to the driver.

yes the 3 of them were paying the bill for PET party.

To be fair, all spending was reduced under Harper in a bid to reduce the debt.

I can imagine what it was like for the RCAF to move from props to jets, to radars on all fighters, to guided missiles from guns. I suspect that many of the problems you mention are cyclical upon getting newer technolgy.

Ontario is intervening as well and a request to extend the amnesty till the Supreme court hears the case

Apparently the off duty crew was Russian and Ukrainian who took over, the attacking pilot was Omani and the injured pilot was Emirati

I wonder if this is the version that will be put on to the RCD, seems the USN is starting to warm up to the system?

On the bright side we finally have more of something military related than the Americans.....

This group of numbnuts might have hired by Iranian agents to test the waters before committing what scarce assets they have.

Shades of 1959........

The way to sustain manoeuvre warfare seems to be suppress the other guys drones, move forward at such a pace that you overrun their drone teams, at which point drones become a much smaller factor, then mines and ATGM's become more important. Once they stalled your advance with those, they will...

The RCAF was also responsible for the Pinetree line, peaking at above 26 stations and 7 closing in the 1970's and 22 more closing late 1980's early 90's Pinetree Line - Wikipedia I did stay once at the station near Kamloops, pretty laid back place for a military installation.

But as pointed out, back in the old days we also ran at least double the number of aircraft as well and more stations, not to mention having some permanently stationed overseas. It would be nice to see what the ratio of pilots and maintainers in those days to what we currently have. Not to...

33% from 187% is good news, not fantastic, but trending in the right direction. We have friends there that lost everything when their saving were devalued.

The Dodge 3/4 were very tough trucks. The 5/4 suffered front axle problems when first introduced. The comfort level inside was miles above the 3/4 tons.

Clearly they never seen a helilogging operation before either. I have seen Chinooks, S61 and the US version of the Lab all operate off of barges in austere locations more than 2 decades ago.

One possibility is that it's a fantasy figure on top of another fantasy figure. The other is the rising inflation has forced the military to spend 27% more to get the same amount of men, supplies and equipment as last year?
