I’m sure this is occupying an incredible amount of otherwise useful man hours.

Possible, bearing in mind every LAV I was in in Afghan was loaded straight HE in both bins as I recall that may have had something to do with problems punching holes. As a guy who does the RCAF effects for the army kinda business…. That’s not the case at all. At 0 point in any of our doctrine...

Well the army that uses Warriors most certainly doesn’t use M113s. The Germans have 37 left, I don’t think it’s really in front line use as an APC anymore. Well they never had AMX 10Ps in Africa, the VAB and VBL operated (and still operate) there. Those weren’t part of the VCBI program, rather...

Respectfully it’s not what they did at all. They up armoured the Vikings because that’s what 3 Cdo had. While in Afghanistan they proved to be effective and they stayed, frankly because they were already there. While it was deployed, it wa employed alongside other vehicles by the “armour support...

Not the French, the AMX 10p was replaced by the VCBI. My response was more aimed at the suggestion a Bv 206 could replace a LAV.

You see cultists suffering from possession and madness, I see subordinates inspired by a leaders vision.

Cthulu cares not for you regional economic benefit, only that you give your soul to the empty void (in this case not NDHQ).

I’ll put my faith in dread elder gods and occultism before I put in Canadian procurement.

Get your pop corn ready

IHG does offer great member perks I won’t lie. They just never have a hotel bar

Sorry I was responding specifically to the ask about Canada fielding IFVs not the general topic. We do fight LAVs as IFVs in the close dismount and support through the objective that we train for, although I don’t know if any mechanized infantry really sees the carrier as the primary weapon...

Did Hilton offer a special discount to coincide?

ASCOD has been in service for twenty years at this point we started in 1997 and haven’t stopped I’ll once again quote the only actual definition “ The term "armoured personnel carrier" means an armoured combat vehicle which is designed and equipped to transport a combat infantry squad and...
