Canada's tanks

[dapaterson]

And, let's be honest: we aren't privy to the inner workings / inner decisions; it could be that various workshops are repairing our Leo2s to send them over a troop at a time...

Maybe. Does IMP have the contract?

Hopefully not, if we want them in the fight within the next decade.

Acquiring Abrams is the best choice replacement on all levels, financial, logistics etc. except for that turbine which kinda requires its own unique logistics trail.
However, I fear it will go to the dreaded 10yr bidding process and candidates such as the K2 Black Panther or KF51 Panther will lead the selections. (Maybe changing the name to SepV3 Lion would help? )

One of two things they issue an UOR for the replacement or they set up an tank replacement office.

My bets on a replacement program office and new tanks in 15 years. If at all. Well I think no tanks is the odds on winner.

 

[McG]

I'm betting on Abrams.

Tank replenishment is not looking there.

I hope whatever platform they decide on.. it's a timely replacement. One in hand is better than 2 in the bush....

I mean, as I understand it, the US is divesting their Stryker MGS...

Why would you do that?

I’ve lost track (Heh. Track.); prior to the donations to Ukraine, how many did we have each of 2A4, 2A4M, and 2A6M?

Leo 1 ?

20 2A4M
20 2A6M
42 2A4

i think plus ARV and AEV

edit so it would make sense to donate 20 2A4 and replace with another subtype lol

Why should the RCAF have all the fun with Kingfisher and Cyclone?

Why not ? If you do t mind the question

You Army folks already have TAPV…that should keep you busy enough…

I bet we upgrade our tanks slowly to something more than the A6M over the next decade. We start with the current A6M as its faster to upgrade and slowly work through the fleet a squadron at a time.

Eventually by 2030ish we buy a few Leo2s from someone like the Norwegians who will have replaced their fleet wholesale with new build A7s in 2026.

By 2035 we should have a single type MBT fleet of 82 tanks.
