Announced on a day when the media is dedicating hours to reporting the eclipse and 30 seconds to this... Well timed...

Plane crash, satellite, foreign incursion, (from most to less likely). Taking ownership almost demands you physically are able to move about on a regular basis at any time doesn't it?

(I ask for patience as I try to mission plan an overland maneuver in the arctic. :LOL:) I realize that each has it's own cache in quantities for civilian use, but you're restricting your resupply points to the coasts which for arguments sake are more vulnerable and not in the interior. On the...

You're still creating multiple fuel caches in coastal hamlets, there really isn't any inland hamlets, that have to be monitored and maintained. Wouldn't air drops be better? Freeing up the column to stay inland and away from the coast? As I work through traveling cross country and the...

The Sherp only has a max speed of 30kph compared to the BvS10 at 60kph. However the Sherp has a range of 4000km vs the BvS10 at 1000km (or 4 fuel caches compared to one, logistics logistics.)

Oh well, just a question. I just saw the present hull on a LHD type as advantageous to taking it into northern waters. Many more options exist for deploying land forces with a ship than via C130 or C17.

Just curious, no idea if it's feasible, what if they were to add 60m to the middle/rear of an AOR hull? Ice capable limited sea lift? it is a fairly wide vessel.

As a side note, this cold be a reason to replace/retain the 105mm light guns?

I believe those were built by Anything Custom in Winnipeg.

As long as whomever the opposition is cooperates by only dropping in during the winter. :LOL:

Same latitudes but Canadian Tundra is like no other terrain. Narrow tracked heavy vehicles will not fair so well. Mineral or petroleum exploration is done with wide tracked vehicles for a reason. Another option is large Terra Tires (balloon).

So Canada will restrict itself to "light" infantry north of the 59th? Missiles, rockets, and radars are proposed but haven't been trialed yet.

The BvS10 is a troop carrier, that's it. At most it has been outfitted with a RWS. It does not tow 155mm artillery, it is not capable of 105mm cannons, it is not even 25mm cannon capable, and adding armor adds weight of course which reduces any portable armament it can carry. On paper it can...

The US will never allow a full spec M1A3 to be built outside the US. Secret armor and all that, and even if they allow Canada into the project it will take years and years before Canada comes up to the front of the line. Quit mucking about and order some refurbished M1's. As a premium customer...

Slowly ship all the Leopards to Latvia and then it becomes urgent to replace the tanks at home and since nobody in Europe is in the mood to sell their Leopard IIs right now then it becomes apparent the only quick option is to purchase M1s. Just sayin. (has anyone found a sarcasm smilie yet?)
