    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    That's sad because hangers are cheaper than cost of the maintenance from not having them. We had a saying when I worked at the farm. "You pay for an equipment shed whether you build one or not"

    The War in Ukraine

    Don't bring your logic into this ;) I didn't say it was a good plan but it sure seems to be the one Putin is trying. Besides Demographics are easy enough to fix. I think it was Hitler during WW2 That said " if you put 10 men and 100 women in a house in a year you will have 100 babies. We all...

    The War in Ukraine

    Or? Here is one I have been thinking about lately. Some say Russia wants Ukraine back as its rightful land and Kviv is the original Russian capitol. The problem (in Putins mind) seems to be the area is full of Ukrainians What if Putin could have taken Kviv in three days but that just makes it...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    This is the only 40T wheeled all-terrain suspension I know of. I don't think it would suit a fighting vehicle well because of its massive size. This particular one is a liebherr LTM 1070 and according to their website is good for 40-48T on road and 54T off road. That is for a 40-60T IFV a 16T...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I question that? A wheeled assembly on say an 8x8 needs four differentials, 8 CV axles and more complicated suspension/steering. It also needs driveshafts between the axles. The whole underside of the vehicle ends up being taken up by the driveline. This in turn requires the vehicle to be larger...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    Hamas fighters are hiding behind civilians, civilians are told "you die for the cause and we will put your dead bodies on internet to shame Israel. If you leave we will shoot you." IDF announces its raids and tell everyone to get out but Hamas wont let them leave. The bombing of Berlin and...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    What about Hamas taking donated water pipe and making rockets out of it? Denying Palestinians water for "the Cause" which is death to all Israelis? What about Hamas Killing anyone that disagrees with them? What about Hamas leaders living in luxury in Qatar while their people live in squalor...

    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    When it takes two years just to approve someone to join the CAF I can't imagine how Long it takes to get them trained as pilots. Hell I bet some finish training just in time to retire. :rolleyes:

    Haitian leaders must all agree before Canada would lead a potential military intervention, Trudeau says

    So, you guys are essentially saying the only way to fix Haiti is to make it a colony of a country that can instill law and order no matter the cost. The only countries I know of with the balls to do something like that is Russia or China. Lord knows no western country is willing to do that today.

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Governments have been playing with the inflation and CPI formulas to make inflation not look so bad. It depends on who you believe but some websites are saying actual inflation using legacy formulas is much higher than what is being reported.

    Infantry Vehicles

    Exactly, Heavy is ok. Off-road is ok but heavy and off road is really hard on equipment. Pick up truck based 4x4's Even F-550 class are made for very light off roading. Dirt roads, muddy jobsites and such. I run a 2001 F-550 at 18,000# out of 19,500# GVW every day. I have no reliability issues...
