And to put into perspective the sheer scale of the UAV threat in Ukraine: https://defence-blog.com/ukraine-intercepts-record-33000-russian-drones-in-march/ But as always, as the defenders get better the attackers come up with improved weapons... And this comment about the fundamental...

There will definitely be stuff proposed and even passed at this policy convention that will cause great weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. However, as is pointed out when looney-left proposals are passed at NDP conventions or hard-right social conservative proposals are passed at CPC...

Maybe PMMC should just cut out the middle man and all these floor crossings and invite the Conservatives to be junior partners in a coalition National Emergency government...

USA: We agree to a ceasefire under the the condition of the unconditional opening of the Strait of Hormuz Iran: We agree to a ceasefire under the condition that we control access to the Strait of Hormuz Both: AGREED!

She's my brother's MP. He is VERY surprised.

Not all UXV's are created equal. What might be "disposable" on a one-way attack drone (air or sea) would not be for an MQ-9B or an unmanned arsenal ship. In broad terms I'd say the difference is between UXV's that you are treating as a "munition" and those that you're treating as a "platform".

Realistically, given the size of our maritime domain and the potential for overseas roles (especially with the US potentially pulling back from multinational missions) we shouldn't be looking at replacing the Rivers, the CDC's or the new subs with uncrewed vessels. Those should be the baseline...

I imagine we'll see ships taking advantage of the ceasefire to get out of the Gulf. What I'd really be watching for is indications that ships are also moving INTO the Gulf. If shipping companies don't have confidence that the ceasefire will hold then the supply issue will get a brief bump...

How far off is the Type 31 from our requirements? Would it be possible to ice strengthen the hull without a major re-design?

I wonder if part of the reason for Trump's reversal might have been push back from the military on being asked to strike a target set that could potentially be deemed as amounting to war crimes. With most valid military sites already hit and the military reluctant to expand the targeting what...

Just spitballing here... An OTDR Fibre tester can accurately determine the length of a fibre optic cable by injecting light into one end. Lets say you go to one of these areas that is littered with Fibre Optic Cables and cut the cables and inject light to determine the length of each cable...

I recall videos of people in the Gulf States playing Shahed drone sounds to make people panic.

We're just responding to exactly what you stated up thread: You literally stated that "We should produce ALL of our power" and then went on to suggest that if we go ahead with HSR (among other policies) that we will then have to rely on the USA "to provide us with power at their price and their...

We already produce more power than we consume and Ontario IS adding more capacity with new nuclear plants in production. To suggest that we import ZERO energy at any time simply highlights the fact that you don't understand how the integrated energy infrastructure of North America works. At...

AI is only as good as the question asked...and even then don't take what it gives you as the gospel truth. Yes, Ontario and Quebec do import electricity from other partners in the integrated electricity grid AT TIMES to balance supply and demand. But they also EXPORT electricity on that same...

I'll be upfront on the whole PP issue. I voted Conservative in the last three elections but did vote for JT in 2015 as the Conservatives were stale by that point and the country needed a change (but unfortunately didn't get the right kind of change). That being said I wasn't a PP fan and felt...

I'm a major proponent of setting up partnerships to produce either European or South Korean (or even US) munitions here in Canada. Both for our own use (and war stocks that we desperately need) as well as for foreign sales (from a safe geographic location). It is however important to keep in...

General David Hodne commanded the United States Army Transformation and Training Command and Maj. General William Green Jr. was the Army's Chief of Chaplains. https://www.military.com/daily-news/headlines/2026/04/02/army-chief-forced-out-iran-war-hits-new-phase.html

Don't hold back....tell us how you really feel!

A number of us on here have suggested for a long time that the F-35 probably isn't really required for the NORAD mission. The issue though is that NORAD isn't the only mission required by the RCAF. The F-35 IS required for those overseas missions. The question then becomes is it worth the...
