Curious, what numbers of those are with F Ech units now I wonder?
And, in numbers to be tactically relevant and supported thru the life of the system?

have they ordered replacements for the materiel that has been shipped east. and speaking of that I noticed the big photo spread covering shipping the first tank, did they expedite the remaining three or are they being loaded onto some freighter for delivery sometime in June

There are definitely plans in the works to deal with the issue of replacement of what was sent, nothing public yet though, though the minister has hinted after the 24th we may hear something.

C20 roughly the same for Sniper dets and SoF only so we do not need alot.
Shelter system - over 1400 systems

It's just precious how people can find time to trouble themselves to write news articles about 4 tanks, when the main event is a war which consumes vehicles by several orders of magnitude more. Canada is such a small, small country.

Well, writers from a country will write about what their country is contributing. Even if most Canadians may not care about the war’s day-to-day happenings, they obviously do care whether we send stuff there.
The MSM isn’t generally in the business of writing things that they don’t think people will read.

How many of these are in service now? Any?
Maybe I’m cynical, but these are routine and while necessary, it comes across as similar to me announcing a purchase of new underwear if my wife asks me about our mutual fund growth over the last quarter. Necessary but…not something expected to impress people.
I had to chuckle at the part in the pic. The obsession with anything HQ lives on!!

Thanks for posting that. I have to say that after the beasting that Leslie gave "the current government" I was starting to feel sorry for them. I also developed a new appreciation for David Collenette. It was a pleasure to listen to three "adults".
Please let there be somebody listening.

Leslie, the guy who once told us the pistol replacement was immenent with a machine pistol, circa 2009.
Asterix, AOPS delivery, JSS continuation, ESSM2, Nanisivik (finally)
The big procurement machine once it gets rolling, generally keeps rolling.

"Somehow this is Stephen Harper's fault"
the yard is still there and could be repurposed but I seem to recall a deal whereby the feds bailed them out but the yard was to close immediately on completion of the work underway. Very hazy memory, a lot of beer, a lot of whiskey and a lot of time has passed since then
