    Sorry, was paying close enough attention and should have known better.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    I was making a joke. And yes, I have read it.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Those were not criteria mentioned in the buy and sell….. https://buyandsell.gc.ca/cds/public/2022/02/10/40e474721d25ec41e82e2941aa3754f5/canadian_multi-mission_aircraft_project_request_for_information_02.10.2022.pdf

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    My point is that if we were choose a different MPA than what the US Government wants, there might be repercussions. NORAD and all.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    We’ve been pumping billions into that fucking company and got nothing but more whining. If the Americans get what they want we will get the P-8a that is what we will get. I hope the Americans get their way. Reading the buy and sell I didn’t think the P-8 would fit. I wold be thrilled to be...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    At 40000 ft it could be shot down by an ESSM. However, ships don’t float through the Yukon.

    Boeing to offer P-8 as CP-140 Replacement

    Where can I read this?

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    China will run out of ammunition as fast as the US, Japan and Korea. Their fleet will also run out of AAW as fast as the US. What asymmetrical threats can the China use that the US is not also already using. Decapitating the Chinese state and having CGina pushed back to the first islands...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    And then what. The old saying was will the US risk Chicago to defend Frankfurt in a nuclear war. Will the US let the CHinese overrun a Japanese city. Will the US lose a war without expending all of its tactical weapons (B61-12 and probably W-84 in a renewed GLCM). And the Chinese will respond...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Why would it be draw out? The US and Chinese military will run out of ballistic and cruise missiles very quickly. How many JASSM/LRASM misfiles do the US have?

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    That might be the case given Vancouver’s huge Chinese population. Would the Americans let that happen?

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Once the Chinese start hitting Japanese ports, will the Americans be able to not hit those.

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    ¬¬¬¬ World war 3 on the Pacific will be just like world war 3 in Central Europe: You’ll flight with only you have on hand. Esquimalt, Victoria Shipyards and port of Vancouver (not to mention YVR) will be destroyed. You’ll you need an escort to protect those ships. The Americans have their docks...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    I don’t hate DavIe. It is a degraded, underused capacity. If they can upgrade they would be useful for CSC refits but who knows. I don’t know if there are many people who operate freelance tanking. 11 years of government, across 2 parties state that Canada needs 2 military capable AORs. Asterix...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    The government only wants two military AORs. If there is so much demand, David should build it and sell their services to international partners without federal funding. Seriously?

    I know. Drones are shorthand and I should know better than using that. RPAS.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    If we follow the trail, canada has: 1. Bought the only ASW frigate in the actual competition, fulfilling NATO and implied US treaties for shipping interdiction. Insert BMD Defense as a plus. 2. bought a NORAD compliant fighter, per US treaties. 3. buying the MQ-9B drone for North American...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I’d be surprised if they purchased the P-8. Peer pressure is a shitty reason for buying military equipment. My read is that the Americans want something that works and does the job. Also the P-8 will close before we buy it...
