C3 Timberwolf Deployment
Following a relatively brief development period, the C3 was formally accepted into service by the Canadian Army in 2024. The vehicle represented a major leap in capabilities from the old Leopard 1 variants they replaced, and its fire control system and 130mm ETC armament remain one of the most potent in all of NATO. Due to the intense rearmament campaigns in the west, surplus Leopard 2s were not available as anticipated, and American M6 Jacksons would also take too long to acquire. Its smaller size compared to its contemporaries also makes transportation relatively easier, making the vehicle a favorite among NATO leadership for organizing quick reaction forces. It also means that smaller recovery vehicles, like the ZEUS Boxer ARM can service and recover these vehicles, thus greatly improving recoverability and availability.
On deployment, the PAAWS (Passive/Active Armor, Wartime, Supplemental) kit is considered essential to survive against any sort of anti-armor threat. The pictured C3 is “in-theater” as part of NATO’s rotating Baltic security commitment in Lithuania, near the border with Kaliningrad. NATO works closely with the Nordic Defense Council in this region to serve as a deterrent against the ever-enigmatic West Russia. Of course, one could reasonably argue that West-Russia has some reason for its aggressive posturing, with its exclave surrounded by NDC Lithuanian and NATO Polish armor.
Canadian infantry accompany this vehicle, though in an actual war, such a position would be near-suicidal, as the vehicle’s active protection system would very likely cause grievous injury to anyone near it. Still, close-support tactics are essential to practice, as no matter how many optics or weapons one puts on a tank, the infantryman will always be the best anti-infantry support a tank can get.
