Canada don't have medium UAV like the MQ-12 "sky warrior" , Raytheon have an aviation branch called Beechcraft offers now a version of the CT-156 Harvard II (T-6 Texan II variant) called AT-6B with 6 wing pylons (Fuel, gun pods, rockets and guided munitions) and for sure a electro-optical turret for day/night observation and targeting. Raytheon offers for U.S.A.F a light attack role for escort his troop in Iraq/Afghanistan. Did Canadian forces should modernized his CF-156B for a combat variant ?...remember Canadian forces don't have attack helicopter/aircraft in Afghanistan..only lease Mi-8 and "MAYBE" a CH-146 armed version "6x Packs" but isn't for now. For my part i guess is a good idea for a light attack aircraft, we can't sending CF-18 in Afghanistan ,so why not a more lighter aircraft ? .
