Forgive me if this question has been asked before but I've been wondering, what are the relative advantages and disadvantages of a cannon compared to a grenade launcher?  For example, an armoured vehicle equipped with a 40 mm cannon as opposed to one equipped with a 40 mm grenade launcher?

Hello All (Mods feel free to move this to the appropriate forum)It's been awhile since I've posted on milnet.ca, things have been so hectic.  I completed my masters a couple of years ago and around a year after landed my present job, which I love.  I now manage the Brimstone Hill Fortress...

:christmas happy:Hello all, I've not been on this site for awhile because things have been real hectic.  I'd like to wish all CF and milnet.ca members a belated Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2010.  For all those brave CF personnes serving overseas, whether in Afghanistan, the waters off...

Good evening all Concerning this article I read on the Canadian Navy website http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/cms_news/news_e.asp?category=7&id=686 I certainly think it makes sense to keep the DD280's technologically relevant and potent until a replacement is in hand, so will this refurbishment be...

I don't get to watch TV much but last night I saw a programme entitled "City in Afghanistan" on City TV.  Kudos to City TV for a great programme and I wish more of the reporting on the CF in the Canadian media was positive like this.

Good day all I know that there is alot of material out there on the histories of the Chinese and Japanese navies and some stuff on the Indian Navy.  However do any of you know of any comparative studies that have been done on the history of the Chinese, Japanese and Indian Navies.  In...

Good night all, i'm seeking some info on the operations of the Royal Canadian Navy in the Caribbean during World War II.  I know some RCN Flower Class corvettes, principally HMC ships Halifax, Snowberry and Oakville escorted convoys departing the Caribbean bound for ports such as Halifax, and...

Season's Greetings to all!  I don't know if this topic has ever been posted before but in the spirit of Christmas I thought i'd start this pornographic thread ;D.  Which destroyers/frigates you guys think has the sexiest body?  We're not discussing capabilities just pure shallow aesthetics. ...

Hello all I've just downloaded an exerpt of the Fall copy of Canadian Naval Review.  Haven't had time to read it yet, just browse through it.  One thing caught my eye though, in an article on procurement of future ships there is an editor's note that the SCSC has since been replaced by the...

Just read this on the Air Force News Brief I get in my e-mail.  The Chief-of-Staff of the USAF, General Michael Moseley, says he is seriously considering creating an A10 Thunderbolt Counterinsurgency (COIN) Squadron within Air Force Special Operations Command.  Personally I think this is a great...

If a topic of this nature has been posted before then please forgive me, i've been thinking alot for a good while now of the long time period before the SCSC (hopefully) becomes a reality.  Knowing the history of Canadian governments I think all would agree that the longer a project takes to...

Good day all, just a question.  I know the Navy is implementing a programme whereby by members of this trade can serve a tour of active duty of up to six months on CF warships, does this include submarines, and if so, can members of this trade earn the dolphin badge?

Hey guys I was just on the Canadian Air Force website.  The newly revamped site is excellent, especially the aircraft videos and vr tours.  Only one complaint, the videos can't be downloaded :(.  But overall the new site is spectacular, kudos to those responsible. :cdnsalute:

Good day to all, I just finished reading my weekly online issue of Janes Air Forces News Briefs (jdw.janes.com).  Australia's government has just announced that they will be purchasing around two dozen Super Hornets.  the John Howard administration said that while Australia remains committed to...

Hello guys, if this question can't be answered due to OPSEC don't hesitate to let me know.  We've heard alot about the deeds of the British Army's Pathfinder Platoon in Afghanistan, so i'm wondering, have any of their Canadian counterparts been deployed to Afghanistan?

Hello all I was just on the Strathconas website and it mentioned that C Squadron is converting from a recce sqn to a tank sqn, and that Leopard C2's will be arriving for the sqn soon to replace its Coyotes.  Just wondering, where will these Leos be coming from, were they mothballed ones? :salute: 

Happy Remembrance Day to all.  I don't know if this is the correct forum but I just wish to express my gratitude to all those Canadian servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave life and limb to free others from tyranny and make the world safer for all of us. :salute: :cdn:

Pleasant good morning to all I have two queries, for the first I already checked all the reserve armoured regiments but many of them do not have up to date info on their websites; for example, they still list the Cougar as the vehicle they use.  I would like to know which reserve regiments in...

My humblest apologies to all those whose hopes I raised unnecessarily.  Earlier this week, I think it was Monday, I tried to upload a video I saw on militaryphotos.net of a 3para night fight in A'stan.  I tried everything but the damn thing just won't work, ??? even though i'm sure that I...
