Both. I suspect one could find some Res Tac Hel slots from Helo pilots already up there. Paging @Good2Golf I would assume it could do a rear wheel ‘hover’ but I don’t think it could land engine off and be stored on it. But the SME will know.

I pity any female CO or XO of the Twin Peaks…

Well Canada has a 1,600+ NM Arctic Ocean border with Russia - which is actually the largest border Russia has with anyone, albeit China has a land border nearly that large. One would think the RCN would have a much higher priority than it does.

Arguably that is a planning/leadership/control issue as well. For you need to be able to be able to rapidly mass forces from dispersal and equally disperse quickly from mass. As much as I like to malign the US Army MDO strategy, it has been dealing with that pre UKR Invasion. You either...

There is definitely areas that have had full artillery saturation, but keep in mind that at this point neither side has the ability to throw what they want in terms of weight and duration of fire. There are some out there that have a very frightening level of shells impacting. Keep in mind...

Agreed, but the question could also be asked does a number of Virginia type SSNs (or to be fair to the non SSN crowds a 6-10 AIP SSK) offer something that could take the slack out of some of the CSC needs?

The SA systems being trialed for the XM-30 Competitors makes the LAV turret seem like a blind man is using braille. The LAV is very limited when buttoned up, and let’s face it in LSCO’s the CC isn’t going to be heads up in the turret looking around for targets - so your limited to vision...

“Russian Rebels”. Who while most of them are ethnic Russian, are members of the AFU…

Is 2 sailable 1980 era boats really a submarine capability? I think you'd grow a lot more actual skills and capability with a joint crewing model down here.

Range and speed of Virginia... My point is that even if Canada jumps with both feet into AUKUS today - that it would take years to get a RCN crew able to fully crew a SSN. There are trades on those boats that have no Canadian equivalent - so you would need to crawl, walk, run into that sort...

Color me shocked... no not at all

Logan's Run...

Australia enters the chat…

You know that, I and many others know that, but we still want him to answer.

No disagreement here. Ack Honestly my belief is that Canada would be better off joining AUKUS. However maybe a partial join, in that Canada shutters it’s Victoria’s and offers crew to the USN SSN’s? With a vague goal of maybe potentially sometime in the undefined future could think a lot...
