Small price to pay to defend ones Sovereignty, but that's just my opinion.
Maybe we should just sell the North to the US and use the money to plough into our Healthcare System, National Housing Policy, Dental Plan, Livable Wage and no longer have to worry about the 100k people that live in...
Yes, I hear you and yes it would be a concern. But how do you propose that our airspace be actually defended? The Americans station thousands and thousands of troops in Alaska, don't they?
Maybe the time has come to turn Whitehorse into a permanent RCAF base.....
a squadron of helo's - combined SAR and Transport
1/2 squadron to full squadron of new F35's
3 of the potentially 6 yet to be purchase E-7's.
1 to 2 Polaris or replacements
Question - for this type of system, what sort of 'support envelope' is needed? Is there a need for a dedicated fighter unit to 'cover' them when they are in the air? If so, could this require our initial package of 88 F-35's to be increased by another 1/2 squadron or full squadron?
Its laughable that we've not tooled up and started rolling off LAV's in London for Ukraine. Have the line start working OT and weekends for an increased production run.
Go ask the Germans what its like to sit back and have 10 shells rain down on you and you're only able to throw back 2-4 in return. Sooner or later your side breaks and runs.
Not the angle of, Ukraine starts a 4-6month campaign to hammer as many Russian airbases as possible so that when the F16 arrive late summer that the Ukrainians will go for localized air to air superiority when they try to drive a wedge to the Sea?
