IF the MCDV replacement ends up being more of a Corvette-type ship rather than a more traditional OPV, then might a concept similar OSK's proposed Arctic Frigate replacement for Denmark's Thetis-Class make sense? https://www.oskdesign.com/news/arctic-frigate Canada, the US and Finland have...

Is there a reference to it being abandoned? According to various articles it was successfully tested earlier this month in Fort Moore, Georgia. https://www.armadainternational.com/2024/09/u-s-army-demonstrated-the-capabilities-of-patria-nemo-120-mm-turreted-mortar-system/ Regardless, I think...

Russian maritime strike aircraft will have to cross through the GIUK Gap in order to reach the mid Atlantic and there are lots of places that land-based aircraft can be stationed to intercept them before they get anywhere near the convoy route. Similarly, Chinese aircraft would have to pass...

To my mind it would be very silly of the Americans to bring their carriers into range of Chinese land-based AS weapons and just as silly for China to push their carriers beyond them...and I doubt either of them are very silly. In my opinion the best option for the US in a war with China would...

Getting in touch with a recruiter is the first test. Weeds out the weak applicants!

Yeah....not exactly stealthy.

Shocking! Who knew there was a dental crisis in the UK???

Are you serious??? From Wikipedia...but there are so many references to historical antisemitism that you could spend a lifetime reading about it

Like @FJAG I guess I partially agree with @Kirkhill. Uncrewed systems (aerial, surface and subsurface) to my mind are ideal for creating sensor networks. Just as UAVs have made Ukraine a "transparent" battlefield, uncrewed systems can help make the maritime domain equally transparent and in...

Normal machetes are fine. It's the Assault-style machetes that need to be banned!

Every report I've seen describes these pagers as having been used by Hezbollah. Even Al Jazeera is reporting it as such: Unlike the Hezbollah missiles fired intentionally at Israeli civilian targets this was an attack specifically targeting members of the combatant group. Were there civilians...

*Hezbollah

I keep getting confused as to why all these Reserve Restructuring threads get given such strange names...

That's why you always order your uniforms a little loose...so you have room to grow into them!
