I have one more suggestion.
WW2 "Wehrmacht" --> "Feldjäger" (Military Police) also called "Kettenhunde" ("Chain Dogs").
In addition, deutsche Schäferhunde (shepherd dogs) as guard dogs

I would like to see some dogs as well. They could be used as guard dogs or military working dogs for many different nations or time periods.

Mech, you do realize that Wagner group mechs use the same kit as the Russian military? There is no need for GHQ to create a whole pack for just Wagner group?

With that being said, I just looked up the Canadian service rifle, the C7 and C8 ( according to wiki) are visually pretty close to the same as the US service rifle witch it was based off of. The uniforms for the US and Canada are pretty close. At this scale, I don't think you would see much of a difference. Canada and the US both use the M60 and the SAW, although the Canadians call it the C9. Other than some of the AT stuff, like the gustov, AT4 and the TOW, I think you have what you need for modern Canada. I do wish GHQ made a stand alone TOW fire team.

I understand that Hoth, though I wish I can find a Carl Gustav, and Man Portable TOW team for my NC. Same for the Snowmobile and Dog sled units for Arctic Sovereignty patrols.

My mistake, I was confused by you asking for Wagner infantry pack and modern Canadian infantry.....you can see why I would respond as I did.

Ok....... I figured you wanted the Wagner mercs for something. My point is you can already have them by buying the Russian modern infantry. Am I missing something?

Gonna cave and nominate:

US/NATO M48A1 w/auxiliary fuel drum rack on stern. Lots of 'em deployed to West Germany in the 1950s. If you have the 48 and the 48A2, it doesn't make sense to leave out the A1.

I'm easily pleased, so -

Modern Russian -

1. Ka-52 (we're just not seeing the Ka-50 that much, the 52 really is the 21st century Mi-24 regards Ru AH capability)

2. Mi-8MTV-5 (accepted, the current GHQ Mi-8 has retro-cool, but for modern VDV, we really could do with the new version)
(-"My Mi-8 has no nose!"
- "How does it smell?!"
- "Terrible..!")

3. PRP-3 or 4 (we've no end of Ru/Sov arty, but no forward observers, which are more likely to be on the table than the gun-line itself. Odd. Ru Forward Arty Observers please GHQ!)

Nordic Neutrals

4. Stridsvagn S-Tank (accepted, a bit niche, if you don't ask, you don't get. Would be nice to see with Team Yankee publishing their Nordic Neutrals rulebook at the end of July.

5. Patria Pasi XA-180 (I know I could just use a Fuchs, but I don't want to. :( I want a lovely GHQ SISU for us Nordic (used to be) Neutrals.

It's probably too late for 2023-2024, but the Ratel with ZT-3 ATGM launcher would complete the Ratel range.

The Rooikat would also be a solid addition.

Then there's the age old request for 'Bush War' style soldiery!

Until GHQ do Bush War style infantry, these may do you in a pinch. 2D6 Wargaming in the UK are about to release some Rhodesian figures. Here's a teaser they posted on Facebook. Figures are said to include RSAS, RLI, RAR, SS, Scots grey, communist terrorists 1 and 2.
