1/ I've been a student of #airassault in the #canadianarmy for some time, and thanks to great sources such as this one, have done some thinking on the VDV assault on #Hostomel. TLDR: AAslt remains relevant. The attack failed because of Russian errors. https://t.co/Of0ccNqGCF

@don_bowser @milperscom It's a performance award, not a valour award. Congrats to all recipients!

@71Tonka @FennellJW My comment is more reinforcing your point than countering it!

[Jan Kool 🍁 @jankool37]

@71Tonka @FennellJW Guderian went about 300km in 6 days during Fall Rot, though admittedly with only a corps, not an Army Group

@MarcKieley You would have been correct every time

@TheBuckYouWill @MarkJCarney Apologies! The material management technicians, not the supply techs. Trade name changes always take me some time to get used to!

[Jan Kool 🍁 @jankool37]

@TheBuckYouWill @MarkJCarney It went ok. I returned my unused gear on Wednesday. The supply techs at Carling were professional and efficient, and I ran into a few friends I hadn't seen in a while when standing in line. I also have more space in my basement. So really well, actually.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

@CDNPolicyHawk @perfidiousleaf I'd push back on helos being too vulnerable for the mission. A well flown helicopter is very resilient, despite the videos we see on Twitter.

[Jan Kool 🍁 @jankool37]

@m_Janelle @CDNPolicyHawk I like the new Snowbird fleet as counter drone platforms as a secondary role

@m_Janelle @Auggie308 Doctrinal term for this is a tank descant. Still useful, in my opinion

@ian_heyting @phil_proulx @davidakin Could give them poutine rations!

@fknorm50 @CDNPolicyHawk Ah, I understand. You are a bot.

[Jan Kool 🍁 @jankool37]

@fknorm50 @CDNPolicyHawk Clearly I know more about this than you. This is the 2014 Wales Summit Declaration, signed in September 2014. It commits members to spending 2% of their GDP by 2024. Canada achieved this in FY 25/26. Ergo, we missed our NATO obligation by 1 (or 2) years.

[Jan Kool 🍁 @jankool37]

@fknorm50 @CDNPolicyHawk That target was agreed to in 2014, and came into effect in 2024. We missed it for one year, not 35.
