If an NCR tasking can truly be done remotely then why post the member to NCR at all? Have them fulfill the role from their current posting position. Saves a cost move, relocation of spouse and children and keeps the member in touch with the operational units they came from.

Not at all surprising to me. Why would the German government spend their defence euros to support a Canadian company when the Canadian government won't even support their own defence industry by meeting (or even attempting to meet) the NATO 2% GDP or 20% equipment targets? Roshel realistically...

How are the winters in Virginia? ;)

I'm sure it would do wonders for retention as well. a town of 28,000 (21,000 in the urban area)

The only thing that makes me think there might be something to the "Corvette" angle is that they claim to have already contracted Janes to review Corvette designs and have visited companies that have existing designs. They've done all that on spec of course but they obviously feel confident...

An article in the Canadian Defence Review about Inocea Group (Davie Shipbuilding) mentions the MDCV replacement and suggests that it will likely be more of a Corvette type vessel.

I really hope that the XM-30 wins the OMFV competition for the US Army. It would check a bunch of boxes in my CA fantasy world. Tracked IFV for a true CA Heavy Brigade Commonality with the US Army for logistics purposes Potential to be built in London M10 Booker as DFS variant using the same...

An apparent assassination plot against President Zelenskyy was uncovered and a Polish man arrested. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/poland-arrest-zelenskyy-plot-1.7177627

Interesting but I wonder if applying AI to create a dog-fighting unmanned fighter is really the most useful application of the technology? How much dog-fighting do we expect to take place in modern air combat? Yes I know the same argument was made leading up to Vietnam with the result being...

Despite the mounting evidence... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68843541 Good thing Canada is taking the threat seriously with our new Defence Policy Review...

Ukraine continues its attacks on Russian occupied Crimea... https://defence-blog.com/ukrainian-forces-destroy-russian-air-defense-systems-in-crimea/

At the other end of the spectrum Ukraine is using low-tech solutions to counter FPV drones... https://defence-blog.com/ukrainian-soldiers-use-turkish-made-shotguns-to-counter-fpv-drones/ Goes to show that there's no "one size fits all" solution to GBAD.

Hold my beer!

Looks a little different when you compare Per Capita GDP's though doesn't it? ;)

To be blunt, Gaza simply isn't viable as part of a Palestinian state. It's physically separated from the West Bank and isn't big enough to support itself economically. I have no clue what the solution might be, but frankly finding a resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict would be much...

Certainly not downplaying the injury to the young girl, but simply pointing out that the suggestion made upthread that the Iranian attack was in some way a huge victory for Iran due to the intel they gained on Israel's defences is simply ludicrous. And given the scale of the attack the impacts...

Checks scorecard: Israel: 6 missiles from F-35 takes out Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, and seven other IRGC officers. Iran: 300+ missiles and drones with "only minor damage to one military base" Clearly a massive Iranian strategic victory!

The rest of the World wouldn't like it, but taking out Iran's oil distribution facilities would limit their ability to fund their terrorist proxies and cause financial hardship at home that might stir up further domestic unrest.

What on God's green earth makes you think Egypt would want to accept 2 million angry and radicalized Palestinians into their country?
