There was (still is?) a process in which the PCBs were separated from the oil and then sent to a disposal facility in Alberta to be incinerated. The refined oil would then be good to be reused as needed. Solid objects such as poles, soil, concrete, shingles, etc were buried in lined pits which...

Burning at low temps produces carcinogens. it has to be incinerated at 870 C to 1200 C to transform the chemicals to something non toxic. More Cliff Clavin info ...

These are cheaper copies of Foremost / Nodwell equipment. Foremost have been building and customizing this type of equipment for heavy industrial use since the early '60s. Compare the tracks. All rubber tracks will wear and rip much much sooner than the Foremost tracks and you have to replace...

So when these weekend warrior toys break down, and with that light duty narrow track they will, short of a helicopter what vehicle will be sent to retrieve them? The retrieval vehicle is what should be seriously considered.

Would you not have your own small UAVs to scout ahead? One controlled from every second LAV which then feeds the dismounts/tanks the info?

Thanks, very informative, appreciate it.

They would have to pre qualify/train on each different platform but would the "systems" interoperability be something they can carry from say the F18 to the F16 or Rafale or Griffen? There's numerous reports that they would like to start training now even if new platforms (new to them) are off...

Is this possible and if yes how many could Canada accommodate at a time? I take it for granted they would be pre-qualified to a certain extent.

Gentlemen, this is strictly from the outside looking in. Some thoughts on the presence of all manner of UAVs which are becoming a larger consideration as seen even today in Ukraine. There is a variety of these assisting in what seems as mainly the offensive part of the battle so I imagine...

Every time a CAF member speaks to the public they short start with Rick's immortal words; We are not the Public Service of Canada, We are the Canadian Armed forces, our job is to kill people (who want to do harm to us or our Allies) Best PR clarification EVER!

Condolences to families and friends.

Smaller more numerous landing ships is the future of the marines https://sgp.fas.org/crs/weapons/R46374.pdf

In speaking with my son's buddies (early 20's) it's all about the money and learning a trade that they can use later. One is in the reserves and lives on the wages he makes from that so the pay seems pretty good.. They suggest focusing on the wages and trades/skills.

Of course it's primary purpose is transport. Adding other duty options for it when it's not "transporting" may make the sales pitch more convincing as opposed to continuing to fail with a sales pitch for the Big Honkin Ship that will sit in Halifax looking for something substantial to move or a...

There are 246 heavy equipment dealerships across Canada that deal with Volvo heavy equipment parts. Shouldn't be a problem. Those trucks are a mining staple used all across the country.

Not sure how these ships would have been useful to flood response, but yes to transport and HADR. I get the impression that the ones for Chile will have a well deck to launch some AAV-7s it is acquiring from the US. These smallish LPDs would provide a much needed capability. Besides the obvious...

Vard Marine (Vancouver) has been contracted in the design and build in Chile of 4 smaller, 8000t, amphibious dock vessels. Something to consider? Vard Marine Announces a new contract for the design of an Amphibious and Military Sea Transport Ship for the Chilean Navy Escotillón IV Program - Vard...

My observations, for what they're worth, are whichever structure that has been discussed here, and there are many, many, many, unfortunately ignores the need to deploy to an isolated Arctic environment for an extended period of time, no matter the season, be supported, and all the while under...

I'm sure Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania could use some Leo's. 20 to each Estonia and Lithuania with the remaining 42 in Latvia where they could all get together for training. Such a goodwill gesture would make the purchase of 150 Abrams a little more palpable and be seen as a great Canadian...

With the UK and US turning to focus on the Pacific and restructuring accordingly I'm wondering if the CSC is ready for the Pacific. According to many sources the Pacific naval engagements will be dominated by long range missiles and in huge numbers. That being said should some of the CSC's be...
