Also Canadianair Sabres and Malaysia used a armed version of the Tutor, not sure if the Canadian or the American?

If only Canada had a organization that could build and export SMR's

Likely a lot of those Cubans felt trapped and this appeared to be the "Least worse option". With Russia's star fading. Now might be a good time to dangle some carrots in front of the Cuban government.

If you look at most of the drone footage that comes out of the battlefields, the contested areas are utterly pockmarked by shells landing far from what appears to be the objective. If the Ukrainian air force does not make an appearance, then the thought is "bloody cowards not supporting us". But...

I will disagree with you, the role did not disappear, it was supposedly to be taken over by Bomac (which was a real dog) and then we had to buy an interceptor and guess what the Americans were happy to sell us one. The Arrow was likley going to be a very good interceptor and likley would have...

Ice classes can give you a headache. There was a nice graphic that lined them all up on the web, but can't find it anymore.

Sadly I can't disagree with you

possibly inspired by this setup

Thetis = 21kts top speed, PC 6 (borderline PC 7) Knud Rasmussen + 17kts. PC 6 I don't know enough about azipods and how efficient they are when your getting up to higher speeds?

Which means of course we have to bail them out........

That "punch" goes both ways, icebreakers wear out from thrashing through the ice. Also your propulsion units that are optimised for speed, while likley be vulnerable to ice. Ice took off a blade of the Polar Star, a US heavy icebreaker. PC 5 is all first year ice and things can go badly if you...

Training mistake, faulty valve. lots of reasons why it could happen.

They are getting 4, one for the stone frigate that they are building and 3 for the first set of ships?

Also gets rid of unemployed young people, who are always the ones who get involved in overthrowing the current regime.....

My understanding is that AOP's is PC 5 hull and PC 4 bow?

I am agnostic on the Hummer, but I really liked the 4x4 tactical truck the US got and wished we had bought them as well.

At this point I be happy to have LAV mounted 81mm mortars, so at least we can pretend to have SPG's

At that time the Hummer still had a lot of issues, including the horrible 6.2L engine. Plus I think one of the requirements was to fit into a Chinook (I could be wrong on that, but I seem to recall that) Plus it had to be built in Canada.

MLVW needed 150 mods to fix issues when issued, pretty sad when your just updating an existing design. The Iltis was not a terrible vehicle, but the Germans were at the time replacing theirs with G-wagons, which is what we should have done as well.

As i understand it Ukraine also has a draft and moblized soldiers. However it has a better cause, treats their soldiers better, evacuates and treats wounded better, rotates units and personal out of combat and provides better training when they can.
