Canada's tanks

[markppcli]

I love there's been three or four attempts to get it back to tanks but everyone just keeps talking about restructuring and paratroopers lol. Army.ca as fuck.

The real question is what colour their forage caps ought to be.

Sooo what does Cavalry do that Recce does not? I mean doctrinally. I'm just trying to understand this tank/armour role here. And then where does Armour fit in (if they are or are not Cavalry).

You might want to look at this edition of the Canadian Army Journal. It has several articles covering the Canadian version of the cavalry concept and is the view as of 2022 when they were written. Not sure what, if any, advances have taken place since then.

Not tanks but here's an interesting new video on the organization of a Jaguar squadron.

The more I learn about this truck the more I realize it's probably a perfect fit for our Cav Regiments. Obviously never happening but it'd be a homerun.

You’d do well to buy enough of those to outfit two divisional cavalry regiments to accompany a few tank regiments. What’s key about the Jaguar though is that it’s built around SCORPION, which is a data integration and comms systems that allows it to do a lot of the cool shit it can do. We’re still using CNREs and single channel vulos.

I agree wholeheartedly. The comms and data suite the French are bringing to the table through Scorpion blow anything most of NATO has out of the water. I'd love.to get my hands on it haha. The firepower the Jaguar brings is nothing to sniff at either, I would love to see some of the data coming out of the 40CT round.

At this point I’d settle for the clip in 152s / 163s system the Danes and Slovaks have. 40CT is great, but having the ability to fire MMP off your partner vehicles targeting is unreal.

It really does make you realize how much our shit sucks most of the time Maybe one day we can get some modern kit.
