Canada's tanks

[Colin Parkinson]

After this conflict, Ukraine is going to need western fighters jets, so this lollygagging does nothing but help Russia both in the now and long term.

 

[Kirkhill]

Maybe. It complicates logistics, though. Be better to give them full battalion's worth of any particular major equipment.

Kind of interesting though that after 74 years of NATO standardization that we can't take a 10% sample and get a homogeneous response. Even Leo 2A4s are not the same - even in Canada.

Since they announced another 4 tanks to the Ukraine efforts. I saw this today on line

Canadian military will get new tanks to replace Leopards going to Ukraine: minister - National | Globalnews.ca

Anita Anand says the Canadian Forces will be receiving new tanks to replace the eight fighting machines sent to Ukraine, and they won't necessarily be Leopard 2 battle tanks.

This is a government of habitual liars. Don't believe it until you see it.

What's the state of their aircraft manufacturing plant? Depending on how much legacy capacity they've got, could see them replacing Russia as a refit and parts hub (at minimum) for everyone with Soviet fleets.

Possibly, but for now, any attempt to repair stuff at a large facility is going to be targeted by the Russians.

I’d caution against using videos for an accurate in the ground picture of what happening in Ukraine. Both sides are largely in control of their media out out and your seeing success, which leads to confirmation bias pretty quickly. That conflict is informing us about a a lot, but we should be wary of making sweeping assumptions until we have a more full, clear picture.

For what it’s worth there are ATGM UOR and longer term acquisition project happening right now.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Honestly I suspect the GoC would love to give Ukraine all of the Leo's but many aren't serviceable...

 

[Good2Golf]

We are not on that path.

We weren’t on a tank path until we were on a tank path.

And, as the last line of that article suggests, the CAF won't get desert until it eats its dinner

"Anand announced last year that fixing the military’s culture was her top priority."

That song was playing at max volume in the accommodation blocks beside the square during my Grad Parade at Phase III in Gagetown.

It was clearly an omen

Why doesn't the Liberals just appoint the "Political Officers" now and be done with it? All the farting around is just annoying. Its their the end state anyways. And yes I always skip to the end of the power point too.

That could be carved over the door of Parliament and it would be true no matter who held the keys.
