I understand the issues. Quite well. We have a Airforce that has a hard time recruiting and retaining not only Pilots but Techs. We need to be a bit more diversified then we currently are. Need to offer up something a bit different then we currently have. The same way of doing things is not...

What Risks are there? I disagree that pilots could not fight them. Interesting point, but again I disagree. Flying is flying for the most part. The handling characteristics of a aircraft type differ yes. But so does each individual aircraft can and will have their own specific nuances...

It is not a matter of couldn't do but why send in a stealth jet when a non stealth will do the job fine. Northern patrol..the Gripen could operate from many of the smaller runways if required. Training flight hours for pilots. weapons delivery "aka bomb trucks". Jamming aircraft. Peace...

Their system is slightly different compared to the majority of builds. So it isn't the same apples to apples, Its like a Ein Shemer to a Granny Smith apple. :ROFLMAO: Don't hate the plane. But the program is mess overall. Now with LM wanting to add 6th gen products to system that is not 100%...

3 - 5 years. If they stay after that then great. They do have a basic statment talking about Northern Canadian Defence.

I think it is hard to follow up with the liberals signing/ RFP all the recent deals for aircraft, ships, subs and possibly armour. Again what we are seeing is the liberals once again setting up the PC party for failure on defense spending. Over commit on spending. If the PC's get elected they...

Funny you would say that. A few years ago there was discussion on here about guns and that they were past their time. I guess we should be building fast cruisers and or battle ships with lots of air defense assets including a but load of guns.

I know when I was wrenching on Aircraft I rarely had time during my work day to head out for PT, or really anything else but 20 mins for a lunch break even that could be broken if Jets were launching and developed snags before launch. When a plane was broken you fixed it asap especially if the...

Being a bit sarcastic, the government isn't always known for being fiscally smart in similar matters. The troops would like that style of camp though. ,

The cost of dismantling and transportation would cost more then buying a new camp more then likely. That is a huge a camp that is not easily moved to another site. DND should buy it and send it over to Latvia for our Soldiers. :ROFLMAO:

We can learn a lot from China and their supply chain management, manufacturing and their processes. We need to be careful not to share specific processes, hardware and tactics with them, but we should be exploring further trade with both China and India. We are already so integrated with the US...

We have lots of raw resources they not only want but the need. We also have lots in the Tech sector they want and need, surprisingly have failed to attract over the past number of years to go south of the border.

Could we make a system where the missile systems were in or near these communities? Could we look at systems that have a range of 500-1000km for interceptors? If we think outside of the box, look at using use the European Aster or Israeli Arrow system and or a mix of systems. Kind of an...

some of those camps are pretty nice and would be good as replacement for the single quarters. Pre fab homes have come along ways. Offer a good alternative to the way they could build off site and move homes onto bases to get things rolling. I agree you could buy a few years. Heck they could...

They need to call a drilling rig moving company. Bring in some dewatering pumps,swamp mats and a few bed trucks. They would have that thing out of the swamp in no time.

You know a few of the pilots and maintenance people I do. Again they can send in a crew to fix,inspect and or maintain them. Move them around. I have a few friends who work the area. Nothing is that accessible in the north. Heck Yellowknife isn't that accessible when one thinks about it. I...

Yes they do. Just like I said they can house a handful of people. They have locals still working the sites doing maintenance and assisting. Heck even the Canadian Navy, Airforce and Army have Technical experts who fix the specific parts. Point is the sites are accessible, have limited...

The majority if not all the Radars up north on the NWS have a landing strip next to or close proximity to the stations. The majority if not all of the NWS stations already have accommodations for a handful of people when required. Or they are located close proximity to a "larger" center.... Yes...

They have the current NWS (North Warning System) being operated by ATCO and Northern partnerships. I wonder if we can add containerized missiles to the list of equipment.

Would it be beneficial to look at the containerized systems for the NSM's or the MK 70 Payload Delivery System with an added feature of anti sub systems? Co-locate them with the current radar sites along Canada's North and have them interconnected. We would have to buy 2-400 missiles. But they...
