Isnt the Underwater gear on those ships in a sea can? Which can fit on almost anything that can accept a sea can? I am not sure what specialized features and or ratings were integrated into the Kingston class. From my understanding it is very limited. Could easily if not already incorporated in...

I think Russia and China have both in the near past made threats of trying to lay claim to land up north. But not sure how viable it really is, but not something to ignore completely.

The Facebook link with the small write up. Funny it is such a big deal. The Military takes such a simple task and turns it into a big deal costing lots of money to test a standardized system.

Only because you have a multi fleet.

I like the idea of Rocket Artillery/ Air Defence set up especially along the three Coast lines we have. I would like to see us gain a proper Radar and air defence set up along All four side of Canada with a system in place to deal with any one off threats that may be encountered along with a a...

Who are those countries? Did they really fold? Or is it the the US is such a large trade partner they had to appease the US for the time being. Europe has a way to come full circle and make up any lost money. The US sold us down the so quick it wasn't funny. Many of those people who voted for...

Interesting, but a software glitch can ground an entire fleet within minutes with a platform such as the F35. Or a technical failure can ground, limit usage etc. Hence why two types of Aircraft should be looked at. Even if we buy F16 I would like to see us operate two fleets for the simple fact...

I am excited to see where things go, especially since other countries are actively seeking these platforms. In a multi role multi platform multi coverage.

We know the old EA6B technically was stealthily also. By blacking out the airspace. But it would jam, confuse and scatter signals all across the spectrum. Similar role the Growler can do and other platforms can do. But the F35 was built on sensor fusion,stealth and command and control. A F35...

yes but the F35 is stealthy where the others are not at the same level.

Isnt one of the benefits of the F35 program was to be able to control Unmanned wingmen (6th gen fighters). In theory you need less Manned fighters to be able to cover the same foot print using a compliment of unmanned aircraft.

He just got kicked on the pants over his diesel electric not being environmentally certified. He is in Ottawa now trying to find a way to certify his engines.

Nothing is ever simple if Military is involved. Was it not part of the overall BMD system to have multiple platforms, land sea and air with launch capabilities controlled by the advance radars of other units. that way you had layer effect? We are not even close to having a single layer here in...

Did Canada not look at its own larger program, then realize it was to expensive to go it alone on large scale? My understanding Canada has around 30 satellites of various types in orbit with another 30 soon to be launched. But Canadian Tech is in many more hundreds if not thousands of our...

I think any larger surface ship the Navy gets should have a VLS for BMD missiles. A Layered system is the best defence against todays and future threats. With the River Class getting the SPY 7 Radar and having the A-OTHR system in place on land plus the SPY on the east coast. . I think having...
