This is shocking to me that RCN hasn't thought of this before. I'm sure there's a ton about seamanship can be learned navigating the Lakes, especially Superior if you want them tested in difficult weather. Would be an amazing recruiting tool for a huge amount of the population to see HMCSs near...

100,000 is a pipe dream. We cant even kit out 50,000.

Good news, the CBGs aren't real Brigades so 1 Div HQ is perfect.

If we can't keep the politics part (peace deal, etc) in the politics thread, we'll lock this up. - Milnet.ca Staff

And there's 0 promise that you'll keep your RCAF DEU. If they need Army or RCN HRAs more, thats what you're getting.

IRB weighting will always screw us.

Absolutely. As long as they dont create the Bde before the combat support trades are ready to actually support we might get there.

I'm still really confused at why we're talking about buying an aircraft that already lost a Canadian competition, and many more internationally. Then again, that is the Canadian way: substandard kit, obsolete kit.

Jesus christ they want to create 3x Bde Sigs Regts and a Div Sigs Regt? We are barely scraping together 60% of 3 Bdes now.

Thats also part of a series of videos. What IDF got wrong, what they got right and how to improve. He spent time to go to Israel to interview soldiers and officers as part of gathering information for those videos.

Seems like actual pilots and RCAF officers support F35 enough to sign a letter to decision makers to get them to stop this Gripen madness. https://www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing/former-canadian-military-officers-urge-ottawa-to-ignore-gripens-and-proceed-with-f-35-buy/165416.article

We doing warnings or are people done with the personal attacks? You can pick apart the idea but picking apart a forum member is a no go. - Milnet.ca Staff

This is just way out for Carney to pretend to be Elbows Up (TM) and fulfill a cardinal Trudeau promise of canceling the F35. Its pure political theatre and pretty transparent for non-partisans. If we order Gripens, we're going to be flying them for 30 years beyond when the US has retired its...

Saab wants the same corporate welfare treatment Irving gets: free money to pay for the full plant construction/retooling and then they get to keep the profit.
