But the equipment -- as well as Coyote reconnaissance vehicles -- isn't expected to go cross-country.

"We start pushing into that muskeg or any of the ice that hasn't been properly prepared, I don't think it could handle the weight," Fletcher said.

"(Ice roads are) about the only thing that's going to take a multi-tonne armoured vehicle. The safety concern is significant."



Is it really neccessary to broadcast we are incapable of even the most basic defense up North ?


I dont remember Joe or Adolf saying " well, we're not going to fight over there, we might get stuck "

There are still a few German and Russian tankers left over from WW2, maybe we should fly them over
and ask them how to do it.


The Eastern Front was not in the tundra or Arctic. There really aren't many examples of artcic warfare, let alone mechanized Arctic warfare. The Scandinavians might know something useful, however just from training.

I wonder what people's thoughts are on the usefulness of the BV 206 in this scenario, especailly modern ones.

The BV's did a great job when I spent 4 months in Bardufoss.

As someone looking forward to service with the Forces, I can only hope
we sort out any Arctic issues. Always been fascinated with the North and
operations there.

Outstanding vehicle for the north. Used them for re-supply and troop movements.

Does anyone remember when we actually had medium and heavy over snow vehicles in the forces? Open back but could haul 10-20 troops at a time, huge wide tracks.

Can't we just stick extended road wheels and wider tracks on our M113s if we want arctic APCs as well?
