Karmanaskis is concerned with the developing unease seen in many areas of the globe.
We continue to invest in our peaceful local economy and have seen considerable growth in our industrial and hi tech base.
Two new ship yards are now under government control securing local employment for years to come.

The KDF is still slowly updating platforms and improving older capabilities.
So no arms race here, just that time of year for larger area mass exercises, hence fields full of hardware everywhere.

Image
At the same time fielding new and disruptive technologies.

The KDF is also building, intent is unknown currently except to be highly capable.

CoC recon mission out of Greenlanddom ( take-off was in Icelanddom, flew very low) flying west increasing in altitude to above 78,000 ft. The flight was conducted by the newest new model in the development of the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber.

Stock photo of protype, the actual ER-72 B has never been photographed.
Image

The ER-72 B headed to the nation of Karmanaskis after reports from the Great Graham of large flotillas of fishing vessels including larger ship perhaps flying drones.

Looks like a training mission by and/or with the KDF Naval Forces, these do not look like any sort of fishing boat. Identified as a Visby Class patrol boat or very similar. The stealth built into the vessel makes it a bit more difficult to evaluate all features of this class although the general outline is unmistakable. The CoC is asking for any help to determine the number in class, any building program, capability, crew, etc. Nine of the KDF's twelve Visby class line up in early 2021. Unconfirmed information indicates that the coastal Squadron will normally operate with 3 Visby and a 98 meter Flexpatrol frigate.

Image

Then flying over Karmanaskis this army war game or training operation was being conducted, over 260 AFVs plus other vehicles were know to be participating.

Image

As the ER-72 B took under an hour to fly through and over NC airspace the KDF submarine group were captured on film with 3 different classes of submarines identified. A Porpoise Class was not observed visually, Doppler, thermal, sonar signatures were detected by buoys and Sosus Line input. Orca MK 1 & 2's sail with a submarine rescue ship, Signals research ship and sub tender.
KDF now operates 4 each of the Orac's plus 2 "other" small subs.
A complete revamp and expansion of the Government Submarine Construction yard was done this year. Construction area had anti-detection elements in place in the yard.
8 submarines of a new (larger?) class are to be built.

Image

To the west of Karmanaskis this task force was observed. Significant improvement in scale and scope of a surface task force. Some vessels are confirmed as surplus US ships, modifications along with new classes of combatants.

Image

After capturing the data of NC (a lot of trees in Yukon and NW Territory and snow) flying over Graham and Karmanaskis, then head north to fly over the polar ice cap the back to Greenlanddom (Icelanddom).

The Chris Defense Report
(who needs Jane’s)
It reports the the KDF Navy has had a surprising, even shocking increase in tonnage per ship, number of ship, capability of ship. Recently sights were made by various postings that there are 8 known KDF ships in the Atlantic. One may wonder why, but that doesn’t change number of different ships and that they are in the Atlantic. What is their purpose, the intent?
As there at at least 8 known KDF ships in the Atlantic, other reports unconfirmed indicate a few more may be there as well. Then the 9 Visby patrol boats training, the submarine flotilla with support ships, and the task force at sea west of Karmanaskis. UN-named sources indicated more ships in port, which one would expect even though there were not any pictures published. The KRCG, Karmanaskis Royal Coast Guard, may have more ocean transit capability than the NC Navy.
The over 30 million people of Karmanaskis are industrious, hard working which benefits a strong defense. That along with the Island chain that is rich in natural resources with a focused national identity that evaluates and implementing programs to support a vibrant growing economy.
NC should be very nice with their neighbors. Not annoy the PRNW, ROD, Eski, the Great Graham, the EE and Greenlanddom (CoC) to the east. Heck, even GS which is land locked (think Vatican) in another country has a stronger defense. The defense spending and production by Karmanaskis is and has been strong, ROD continues to upgrade, expanded their fleet, including the number of carriers. Eski and Graham demonstrated their supremacy in organization, training and fighting trim as compared to NC. Greece will not allow NC back into their country after the most recent debacle.

NC has recently got its initial shipment of the Arisgator AAVs from Italy for the RCNs Amphibious Warfare project, just need to get the ships for the project.

We have an option to acquire the LCAC from the US after they replace them for the SSC.

Here they are the first batch of 14 Arisgator AAVs for the Royal Canadian Navy's Amphibious Program.

Image

And also a significant cultural change has occurred in the NCAFs Officer Corps, they will start sharing the risks with the troops on the frontlines, dressed in a common soldiers uniforms to make them not standout. However the Officers will spend a limited amount of time on the frontlines before returning back to their HQ section in the rear.

Chris Defense Report

Evaluation of the NC new navy assault vehicles.
These vehicle should float, don’t expect any more than 5% submersible/sinking probability with lack of maintenance. With low funding levels of NC the new toys may be bought, the older ones will decay, training will drop off, if possible. Wonder if these vehicles were modeled from Japanese landing craft.

Image

KDF expanded their defense budget this year, estimated doubling of the budget. Essentially all (80-90%) of the increase went to the navy. An example is their landing assault capability. Karmanaskis is not near many countries. Why do they have such a significant naval assault capability expansion plan. Even if there are not any plans or ideas, in the future with coins in their pocket KDF may feel the need to spend it.

The CoC Balzac republic recently reworked some army vehicles including the CV90120, XA-203 and CV9040. Iron Fist and/or Trophy is being considered for ADS.

The Arisgator is of an Italian design based on the M113 APC. Fitted for amphibious operations. They will be used on the RCNs new Tawana class LHAs.

NC Navy Review Board. Subject: ROD Navys MLP.

The ROD has recently acquired 3 Mobile Landing Platforms for their Fleet Expeditionary Force. from the looks of the Images its designed to carry 3 LCACs at once. the RCN has expressed interest in these Mobile Landing Platforms believing it to be a solution, to the huge Logistical Problems that is plaguing the RCN's Amphibious Fleet Program.
