We might opt for a troops-for-troops kinda thing, temporarily deploy assets to europe to free up forces that are willing/relevant to defending turkey

And there's the battleship, which isn't a battleship, and wants to use diesel engines to try and power 100s of kw of lasers and a railgun (abandoned USN project, turns out railguns actually work but are for now more trouble than they're worth) so it's more of a fragile masculinity support boat.

In a somewhat confusing move, they announced that the late and overbudget, but mostly complete FFG(X), would be replaced by FF(X), a militarized version of the coast guard cutter, notably lacking a proper built in missile armament (hence no G for guided missile), a questionable pick.

You want numbers to free up the more capable ships for the harder jobs and generally to bulk up the fleet. They chose to adapt a successful European design from Fincantieri for FFG(X) but the redesign had to be so extensive to meet USN standards time and money savings were moot.

USN has lots of good boats, but quite a few of their hulls are physically aging out of safe usability. The production line for the Arleigh Burke, an all around very capable ship, won't be able to replace age losses alone. The program to build a smaller cheaper sidekick to the Burke is having issues.

Anyone got a medal check, or at least what medals the machine tried to generate on our AI generated foot fetish chudslop lady, was she a pipe hitter before settling down for a life of pixelated objectification?

Fuck this stupid chud world

15x10 is kind of the benchmark for a mechanized force out in a temperate European context, which is somewhat of a meaningless figure as the number of variables which can heavily affect this is huge nowadays.

These days most manuals strip out mentions of hard numbers and direct future commanders to analyze terrain and capabilities to determine their frontage on the fly. Mission, terrain, modern sensors, really modify things. A brigade could hold 50+km in the defense in the desert, or only 1-3 in a city.

I'm hearing this isn't true, but even if it was, that's a brigade, a single brigade, a fully equipped one of which is capable of stretching itself to take an eye watering 15km of frontage to a depth of 10km on a linear fight, or like one medium sized town.

Like all aging stars their output falls precipitously but that doesn't make them incapable of the occasional banger

I have a fact-based feeling this is instantly going to enter my lexicon

These are the kinda people who oppose space exploration because landing on airless rocks is morally evil

Gotta get some CRA agents on those evac flights

A teeny tiny bit you, Bill, but we get the sentiment

LEGACY HORNET SWEEP RAHHHHH

Same plane started with Sparrows and MESA now rocking 120Ds and AESA

The CF-188 HEP II is definitely up there for NATO's most slammed out multirole. Original early serial A frames rocking rebuilt engines with C series parts and legacy hornet adapted super hornet sensors. It's like a scuffed ass Mitsubishi Lancer Evo rocking a new Porsche's worth of aftermarket shit.

Mark Carney hear me, get the KF-21 Boramae, the Koreans will invent a different coloured RAM for us paint our false cockpit again if we ask nicely and throw in on development costs

Gonna go to the Donald Trump memorial Saskatchewanian uranium chain gang mine with a smile on my face until the radiation takes me

Honestly an RCAF F-18 winning a WVR dogfight with a US jet would fix me forever

They're basically stealth now with their frames being more bondo than metal

"USN Hornets forming off of our 5 o'clock to join us for the strike"

"Flight lead, the navy doesn't have any regular hornets anymore"

RCAF now guaranteed to go down like lions with a 10-1 kill ratio when we get invaded early next year as a distraction from the midterm crisis.

Economists, stupidly: Carney is doing more deficit spending with barely any headroom, which will damage Canada's exceptional financial record and debt to GDP ratio

Citizenship* idk why my phone autocorrect separated it like that

Spur of the moment business trip stop at an Indo-Chinese fusion gastro pub has me weirdly patriotic enjoying street food and observing a group of girls out on the town after their citizen ship ceremony with Canadian flag headbands
