Why be pro-free enterprise when you can secure your place at the top, and wrap yourself in DEI/anti-racist armour? As for the business in the UK right now, it's the inevitable result when government fails in it's basic duty to protect it's citizens.

Israel was onboard until Iran's proxies weren't... If Iran can't control their proxies, maybe they shouldn't make peace with their proxies a condition of ending the fight.

Car manufacturers were pretty happy with the system that existed until last year too... There is no reason a politician with an agenda can't/won't do the same thing to defence contractors.

When he is gone, next administration is likely to treat Canada the same, just with language that's more flowery and diplomatic sounding. Once American voters and politicians have a taste for throwing their weight around, they aren't going to want to go back to "fair" deals. Whether the RCAF...

So what is the solution? Complaining isn't solving things, so what is being done by the signals folks to fix the problem?

Isn't that part of the reason for "fighting from the MOC" as the USN says? The forward commanders don't need every piece of data from around the globe, they need tailored data, while the "MOC" deals with the bigger picture and all of the data.

My understanding is there a plan to develop a plan... I'm not sure how much more can be said at this stage on these means.

Iran is acting like a someone who knows they are losing, and is making sure that everybody else feels pain before they go. Like a fired employee knocking things off desks as they are escorted out of the building...

In 2015 Winnipeg was there for a week during DSEI.

That story is quite a wild ride! I personally love the part where she says she was waiting for an "order", after being told to leave the place multiple times.

What about all the people 20+ years from retirement doing the same, who are suffering from ever decreasing services so you can enjoy a retirement funded by them, as they face down not having that option? Screw them eh? As long as I get mine, who cares about the other people doing the right...

They are being attacked by the great Satan, and Israel... Decades/centuries of hatred aren't wiped away because you dislike the bosses. There is a reason dictatorships use war to shore-up support when they are weak. There was potential that cutting off the head would topple the regime, and it...

That's not how regimes work... Just because it didn't fall in the middle of the shooting does not mean it is strong, or even as strong as it was before the shooting. Iran was already in trouble, now they have to rebuild on top of all of the previous troubles. There is no guarantee that the...

I suspect this government sees things differently. Look at the investment in the CAF. We are seriously planning a massive expansion of the RCN, as well as adding a totally new capability for the RCAF. The LPC under Carney seems a lot less squeamish about the CAF and the idea of conflict...

GlobalEye has three confirmed NATO operators, one planned NATO operator, three more potential NATO operators, and three more non-NATO potential operators. Phoenix has zero confirmed NATO operators. Italy is the only NATO user of the L3Harris system similar to Phoenix, but on Gulf Stream...

Alternatively, Canada chose an established platform with multiple user nations, and potentially the next NATO platform, over what is at this stage an orphan platform used by one airforce. Maybe the RCAF/GoC learned from the whole Cyclone problem, and wanted to buy something is service, with a...

The RCN retired three destroyers, two AORs, and 8-10 MCDVs in the time since Afghanistan, a significant portion of the fleet. At the same time, half of the frigates are in some state of rebuild because they are now pushing 30+ years of heavy use, with at least another 10 for most of them, if...

So two of six departments?

@FJAG already hinted at this, but I'd say you're underestimating the impact weather has on small UAS and projectiles. 20KT winds at 500 feet have an impact on 155mm rounds, but they severely limit small UAS/loitering munitions. Add cloud cover and precipitation, and now your small...

Or both... But the consequences for one are far more serious than the other. There is no way America can refuse the sale of engines, or cut-off pilot training and not suffer severe consequences for their actions. This isn't happening in a vacuum, and America has already said Taiwan will not be...
