I suggested previously that the only way I could possibly see Canada operating SSNs would be to home base them in the US in order to avoid much of the above. However, I think you'd need a full shooting war with Russia and/or China before any Canadian government would even consider such an...

While I agree that SSN's would be the best suited option for Canada from a technical point of view, however from a political, budgetary and practical point of view I think they are a no-go. The political capital required to sell them to the Canadian public isn't something any of the political...

500% tariff on colourful socks?

Well, at least he didn't go so far as to claim his pants were on fire!

What's the cost of the electronic components of a modern warship compared to the cost of the hull. If all the electronics have to be replaced anyway and they are wired right into the structure of the ship then it's probably cheaper/easier to start again from scratch rather than repairing. Not...

Wait until you see the sponsorship logos on the new combat uniforms!

The Netherlands is looking to potentially deploy ASW USVs from their new Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigates. May be equipped with either VDS or a dipping sonar and will be deployable from the Frigate's Mission Bay...

Works for me. And even if the CSC design turns out to be a flop there are still appropriate naming options...HMCS Schitt's Creek?

Since I think we've generally agreed that wheeled DFS vehicles like the US MGS are definitely NOT tanks I'm posting these here: https://defence-blog.com/italian-army-orders-28-centauro-ii-combat-vehicle/ https://defence-blog.com/taiwan-develops-new-armored-combat-vehicle/ So at least the...

Doesn't matter what Trump's performance was like. His supporters will continue to support and his detractors will continue to oppose. Biden however came across as old, feeble and rambling. Dems and undecides alike will have lost faith and will have trouble voting for Biden. Many may decide...

But then again, when you use something it wasn't designed for it sometimes works! https://defence-blog.com/ukrainian-bradley-shoots-down-russian-fpv-drone/

Nothing surprising in that article for anyone paying attention to the comments on this forum. Doesn't mean the Senator is a bad vehicle...just that when you use something to perform tasks it wasn't designed for there will be issues. Solution? Send more LAVs so the Senators can be used in more...

From the article snip posted: It would seem the mission did go ahead and Minister Sajjan was directly involved in directing the troops on the ground with intel on the Sikh group's whereabouts: Maybe this belongs in the foreign influence thread?

Or one Ontario and another "Centre of the Universe" (aka Toronto)
