@m_Janelle @LatinMilAv @mason_8718 @CDNPolicyHawk @NoahGairn With the RCH155/K9A2 I see the man power on the gunline dropping yes. Yet the overall manpower for the standard Arty BTY won't drop much if any. The soldiers will simply be added to the BTY SM's Echelon. For turnaround, for feeding the beasts ammunition. For ensuring crew rest.

🇪🇸🤝🇰🇷 Breaking News. Hanwha Aerospace and Indra have officially agreed to partner on Spain's next-generation self-propelled howitzer program. This project is considered a key undertaking for the Spanish military and is estimated to be worth 4.5 billion euros. The project comprises a total of approximately 330 units, including 128 next-generation self-propelled howitzers, 128 ammunition resupply vehicles, 21 recovery vehicles, and 59 command and control vehicles. Spain will lead the platform design and production based on K9, while Hanwha will exclusively supply key components. Also, partnering with Spain makes it easier to target the Latin American market. Meanwhile, Hanwha Aerospace is focusing on the simultaneous development of the next-generation self-propelled howitzer K9A2 and the ultra-long-range system K9A3.

@m_Janelle @LatinMilAv @mason_8718 @CDNPolicyHawk @NoahGairn IF the reported times to Counter Battery Detection and Counter Battery fire coming out of the Ukraine are to be believed. A SPH or any Arty needs to be gone 3 min after the first round is fired. You will likely have time to get into action. It's about when you get out of action.

@mikethenavyguy I've seen LPC/CPC/BQ/NDP put motions forward to the House of Commons Floor, all as members of the opposition and it always gets voted down. Doesn't matter if it would have gotten something substantive done for Canadian people. It's on the current ruling party to do that.

@mikethenavyguy I would suggest that it's theatre regardless of which side of the political isle they sit. In the end, it's all about who does what, and what they can state made a difference. It's been this way since the inception of the New Westminster Parlimetary system was enacted.

They voted against it because it's theatre. It's fucking impossible to take you folks seriously at this point.

🚨BREAKING: Liberals vote against supporting Oshawa auto workers and strengthening Canada’s auto industry. Today, the Liberals voted against our Conservative opposition motion calling for a tariff-free Canada–U.S. auto pact. Our Conservative auto plan would remove the GST on Canadian-made vehicles, require automakers to build in Canada to sell here duty-free, and harmonize regulations with our North American partners so that the Canadian auto industry can stay competitive. Instead, the Liberals chose more inaction and uncertainty for Oshawa auto workers.

@LatinMilAv @mason_8718 Add to that the stability issues, specifically in the body role of the chassis while firing, both on the move and stationary were under reported. There's a number of rumours floating around that the K9A2 has re-entered the conversations, especially after the PM's Australia Trip

@LatinMilAv @mason_8718 At first I assumed that too. I looked at the RFP and saw that it was basically purpose written for GDLS to win an award to build the LAV6 10x10 portion of that contract. With the current revelation that KNDS the maker of the RCH155 can't produce at much of a scale yet.

@LatinMilAv @mason_8718 If any of those systems breaks down, it takes time to removed things for the use of backup systems(muscle powered). Where as the human is still part of the system in the K9A2. Yes there's some automated systems, yet the human is still there to ensure quick backup.

@LatinMilAv @mason_8718 With the RCH-155, you input Bearing, Elevation and select Ammunition type. The gun system does everything else. It lays the gun on, it auto-loads the ammunition and charges selected. It readies its self and only asks you when to fire.

@jec79 @davidpugliese @Murray_Brewster I'll add that those arguing against it, I find to be ill informed or disingenuous. The Expanded Capabilities for the RCAF would be significant. Even if that means we need to really recruit hard and find those people willing to serve.

@jec79 @davidpugliese @Murray_Brewster This makes a great argument for a Hi/Low Mixed fleet in Canada. While this is only a short clip from that portion of the ASC, it would be helpful to see it further discussed. Canada being the only G7 Nation without a mixed modern fleet, is asinine.
