i believe the key word there is "theorized".  all they are saying is that ersta system would allow the griffon to carry the hellfire and provide guidance the truth is though the airframe is not strong enough to support a hellfire launch.  i have this on good authority from people who were...

i think after the russo shooting in toronto and the fact a ar15 was the culprit that the govt will come down hard on assault type weapons once fall sessions in the houses start.  fair enough that the weapon in question was probably not a legally obtained weapon, but still there is little need...

the cdn military does not have the infrastructure, nor the manpower to suppot ssn's.  secondly whoever remembers what happened when mulrooney decided that he was going to order ssns for canada in the 80s, all the ignorant left wing loonies cam out with their misinformation campaigns and created...

just a hint for a job if you are going to london, in particular.  go to a pub and normally they will hire you under the table and have some sort of room and board agreement. 

i am just wondering is you even read my post, or should i say understood my post. 

so you guys don't agree with what this guy is posting.  he has his right to be ignorant and post whatever he likes.  just the same you all have the right not to read what he is posting.  many of the posts on this thread attacking the guy are far less intelligent than what this guy is writing...

there was a reason canada did standardize their helo airframe to the black/seahawk.  first off the seahawk was not suitable for the navy for many reasons.  mainly it was too small and was not up to the job in the north atlantic.  as for the blackhawk, the political angle of bell helicopter being...

i am not advocating relying on the us for our protection, i was just stating that no matter what course of action the govt chooses it is very inconsequential to the us who will do what is in their best interests to protect their sovereignty.  i think we all know the u.s. already does this to a...

if canada were to choose your option 1 it basically downgrade the armed forces to something more or lass than a constabulary force, such as that seen in ireland.  it is vital that the military is first and foremost used as an instrument as foreign policy and secondly as a domestic defence...

as much as defence needs a new white paper, writing one before a new foreign affairs white paper comes out is kind of a waste of time.  the two policies need to be intertwined as the cf main purpose is to enforce the canadian foreign policy.  simply having a defence white paper come for the sake...

it's not fair to compare the h92 to the griffon.  the main problem with the griffon is that it is underpowered, that is not the case with the h92.  its engines are increased from the s92 civvy version of the helo and if their is one thing sikorsky knows what to do it is build martime helos...

bdtyre i am not confused i know what the degree requirements for honours degrees are at the two univerisites i  have attended in ontario and quebec, as well i know what they were when i went to uni in england too.  as for you statement that a high gpa and a three year degree will get you into a...

4 year uni degrees are honours degrees and 3 year degrees are not in canada.  if you wish to go to grad school you will need a honours degree as most postgrad programs require it.  if you are not planning on going to grad school or furthering your academic career after uni then a three year ba...

the eh101 can hold 40 guys, but on the floor, 24 is more realistic as it is the number of crash seats available, not to mention passenger headsets.  i believe the h92 can carry 22 crash seats for transport.

28 would not be enough, but leave it to a liberal govt to give it a good try. 

i think the concern for multi-mission comes form the jss announcement and the need for a helo to operate from them.  the role of the helo on board the jss seems very similar to how the seakings were used in somalia in a purely ship to shore support role.  if the jss does come through then i...

the deal was to replace the cf18s with surplus c/d models so we wouldn't have to upgrade the cf18s. 

from what i heard before was that the govt wanted the asw equipment to be roll on/roll off so that the new mhp could be used as a troop transport when the new jss comes in and to fully support boarding party operations.  as for lifting arty and such i don't think that it is even a consideration...

the amount of engines has been something that has been overplayed in modern aviation.  back 20-30 years ago it was a big consideration, but now with improved reliability really makes no difference.  i think for cdn industry the h92 was a far better choice that allows a lot of the firms involved...

the u.s. is not fingerprinting cdn citizens, just everybody else.  plus it is more like a fingerprint scanner anyway.  fingerprinting everyone would take forever.
