    MSVS SMP (Mack) reception

    I was worried about that when i saw they had emissions on them. The load handling systems should be programmable at any dealer for that system. If I remember right they are Palfinger's. We used FRF hydraulics in Cambridge for anything Palfinger related. They were great to deal with. Whoever has...

    What book are you reading now?

    I have been Listening to "The Frontiersman" by Allan W. Eckert. It Follows a frontiersman as he moves west from Virginia into the wild and untamed Ohio and Kentucky area. Warning, it has a lot of graphic violence in it.

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    We should not judge others till we have walked a mile in their shoes. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anyone here has walked an inch in their shoes. Many of you have seen combat, and awful shit. However you did so as part of a country that is relatively safe. Backed up by the U.S. and...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I guess with all the talk of Canada being in hot water at NATO I thought I had heard we were at risk of being kicked out. My Apologies.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Do you think maybe Trudeau wants Canada out of NATO so Canada doesn't get drug into a seemingly inevitable WW3 with Russia? He seems so focused on Climate that a world war would just get in the way of his saving the world by carbon taxing us to death. I don't have any clue what's involved in...

    Replacing the Subs

    Forgive me if this has been asked before but if say we do get nuke subs, and I realize that is a huge if. Would the vics be usable in a training role? Would it be cheaper to train Sailors on the vics then transfer them to the nuke boats. I realize some trades wouldn't transfer but a lot of...

    Interesting Falkland Islands Campaign Thread

    I may or may not have heard a rumor there exists a picture of HMCS Ojibwa in the falklands during that time. Rumor is Ojibwa is a VERY famous boat if her exploits were ever told.

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    That's sad because hangers are cheaper than cost of the maintenance from not having them. We had a saying when I worked at the farm. "You pay for an equipment shed whether you build one or not"

    The War in Ukraine

    Don't bring your logic into this ;) I didn't say it was a good plan but it sure seems to be the one Putin is trying. Besides Demographics are easy enough to fix. I think it was Hitler during WW2 That said " if you put 10 men and 100 women in a house in a year you will have 100 babies. We all...

    The War in Ukraine

    Or? Here is one I have been thinking about lately. Some say Russia wants Ukraine back as its rightful land and Kviv is the original Russian capitol. The problem (in Putins mind) seems to be the area is full of Ukrainians What if Putin could have taken Kviv in three days but that just makes it...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    This is the only 40T wheeled all-terrain suspension I know of. I don't think it would suit a fighting vehicle well because of its massive size. This particular one is a liebherr LTM 1070 and according to their website is good for 40-48T on road and 54T off road. That is for a 40-60T IFV a 16T...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I question that? A wheeled assembly on say an 8x8 needs four differentials, 8 CV axles and more complicated suspension/steering. It also needs driveshafts between the axles. The whole underside of the vehicle ends up being taken up by the driveline. This in turn requires the vehicle to be larger...
