    Ukraine - Superthread

    If you are a MASH fan you might remember the 5 o'clock Charlie episode 1973, "Every day for the past six weeks, at 5:00 o'clock p.m. on the nose, a North Korean "washout from Kamikaze school" has let loose a bomb in the general direction of the hospital's sub-ammo dump. Very affectionately...

    Avro Arrow RL-206

    Do not worry Bombardier would of ended up rebuilding the Arrow and ruining everything about it in no time. Canadian companies build and design great products but no internal market, and the international market unless it is manufactured in the US , for the most part it is gone. Canadian...

    Avro Arrow RL-206

    Everyone thought this aircraft the end all be all. It was a great aircraft for its time and limited testing done before it was chopped up. Anyone who thinks this aircraft would still be flying and still keeping up with the aircraft of today or yesterday has to seriously think about going back...

    Infantry Vehicles

    Just my opinion and nothing more. The LAV family, the AVGP family and the M113 family are good vehicles until you try and shoehorn every possible variant out of the same box. In the civilian world, they make a fleet of trucks and each truck does one job. Lets use the a fire truck as an...

    Thinking about the Infantry Attack

    Been out of the infantry for longer than I care to admit and what does a private really know or understand about life on the battlefield besides he or she is going to be the body trying to stop the enemy advance or be the advancing force upon the enemy? I personally think every NATO Army...

    Canada's tanks

    Tanks cannot do every thing that is required on the battlefield. They need to have support and specialized vehicles that can keep up and fight with the tanks, but not as a tank on tank killer. I think they are trying to make the tank crew be the anti air craft crew, the anti tank crew, and the...
