Other stuff we're missing out on because: China
The AI side of AUKUS: UK reveals ground-breaking, allied tech demo - Breaking Defense
The AI trial saw a wide range of air and ground vehicles tasked with testing target identification capabilities, as the allies cope with what the UK Ministry of Defence called a "rapidly evolving" strategic environment.breakingdefense.com
Boeing's Ghost Bat loyal wingman drone spotted hanging in US - Breaking Defense
The Air Force said months ago it was planning to run flight experiments with the unmanned system, and even though this Ghost Bat was housed not far from an Air Force base, it's unclear if the testing has begun.
It’s just not China, it’s Canada’s entire reluctance to be an adult on Defense issues.

It start right at the beginning. In school children are told Canada is a peacekeeper. The HS history textbooks have just 6 pages on WWII, 2 pages about the war, 2 pages about interned Japanese/Canadians and 2 pages about Women in the war effort. No that those two topics are not important but get more weight than everything else.
Then the anti Americanism that runs though parts of society and a big part of the official Canada is the other half of the problem. The see we are not like them US guys we don't have weapons.

Canada has always been reluctant. That was an aggravation.
Now, in my opinion, China has moved up the threat scale to a clear danger. It has surpassed Vlad's Muscovy as a threat and is moving into Stalin, Krushchev Soviet Union territory. We are looking at info wars at the Gouzenko, Cambridge 5, Christine Keeler - John Profumo, Julius and Ethel Roseberg level. Only this time Peking is running the show.
And Trudeau's Power cabal are willing participants. In my opinion.
They are, in my opinion, no friends of the 5 Eyes.

Not sure if it's already in the thread, but just a heads up for anyone heading to CANSEC the protest is planned for the morning of the 31st.
I expect these same people will want us to support the Ukraine, also against the Nazis etc, but somehow don't connect that you need a functional military in place beforehand to do that. I fully understand protests against specific wars, but don't get general protests against something like this. Pretty sheltered 1st world problems I guess.

I was going to post this in the Ukraine war thread as the YouTube video that linked it stated this is what the Ukraine's will be facing when they start their Offensive.
But IMHO, thought the video may be more appropriate here.
Think the CAF could do this? Dream on.

This used to be a pretty standard task for Cbt Tms/ BGps.
Assuming that we still practise this stuff, I would guess the CAF is still capable of this type of operation...
And I like the CGI! Wish this was around when I was learning this stuff. There are some things an OHP and a grease pencil just can't convey

The Canadian Army still trains for combined arms breaches at the Cbt team level pretty extensively. It’s covered in both individual training on ATOC, AOC and combat team commander.
It’s also rehearsed and practiced live. Most of the assets are all 1 CMBG although the other Bdes got the opportunity in Ex MRs.

Trudeau is more concerned with starving Canadians through carbon taxes and inflation. He only cares about his party and himself.

I though I saw recently that Canada was going to join AUKUS, and a non-nuclear boat partner.
He is doing his part to usher in the "Great Reset"
