CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

[PuckChaser]

Or we could be a sensible army and, you know buy enough tanks to equip our Regiments properly

Nah, we're just going to give everyone raises and consider the Coast Guard as defense spending.

Just depress the SPG guns and use them as direct fire. I did it in World of Tanks all the time.

60% of the time, it works every time.

Might as well use the C3s as AT guns then

Well they’ll get to Latvia faster than Spike… probably

Has anyone seen the Aimpoint FCS in the hands of a Cdn soldier yet?
Apparently they are in Latvia and have been for about 2 years. No one I have seen or spoken with even knew they were in theatre.

Interesting. For the C16 or M2?

I think those are supposed to be the optic for the C6A1 but I'd have to double check that to be sure

Should have specified. Those are for the 84mm.

I’ll ask but haven’t seen one myself.

I'll dive deeper next week, but found some documents indicating that the initial training was going to take place in Spring 2024 in Gagetown and then sent to Latvia. I found other correspondence from the DGLEPM Tech LO team from Jan/Feb 2025 indicating that it had arrived in theater recently.

In any case pretty small buy of 10 units as part of a minor cap project only for eFP it seems. Hopefully it proves to be great as the sites for the 84MM have always been lacking.
