Medicine hat has a Large UAV test area. Formost Airspace. They can also utilize CFB Suffield.

China had offered to buy the oil in the second pipeline, but made strict stipulations at the time. As they had to have the line operational for 2016. No delays, no nonsense. They had bought interest in many of the northern oil projects but did not have a way to ship the oil. when delay after...

Also who owns the rail car manufacters. Who owns or has large shares in tankers that ship to the east coast from ME. It is interesting when the money is followed.

36-40 billion of tax payer money sunk into the project. High transit fees has a little effect. Tanker traffic bans, concerns. Who wants to sign a deal to ship oil only to have the government ban the ships they need to transport their product. Limits of production on oil. It takes a couple of...

That is a bad incident. RIP to the Sailors who lost their lives. speedy recovery the remainder who were injured.

I often wonder how different the news is across the country. I know many news agencies run extremely biased articles on the norm. Often opinions are passed off as facts. I know my family and friends back east often ask me what is being reported out west as things do not make sense.

The Federal, Three provincial governments tried to kill the pipeline. What happened was a industry said ok then we will shut things down and sit and wait until a more friendly group gets into power. Then the Natives made complaints that they lost hundreds of millions in contracts. It took about...

They are correct, Ottawa has treated Ab as a bank machine while putting up roadblocks to the way they earn money to restock the bank machine. Even when the Ab economy took a swing for the worse the Federal Government still demanded the same level of money. (kind of like alimony child support)...

I am pretty sure China was in Ukraine prior to the latest hostilities developing tech and exploring minerals. Things might get real interesting in the coming months over this deal.

Horse power was low causing problems. They did offer a upgraded engine in the 650hp range. But India refused to trial it, instead going with their domestic built vehicle.

They have a picture of the SPH fully inside the C130. It does physically fit. If you scroll down you can see a picture of it fully inside the c130 https://www.scribd.com/document/83167552/Denel-G7-105mm-SPG

Begleitpanzer 57 prototype by Germany.https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/westgermany/begleitpanzer-57-aifsv/ This might make a good multi purpose gun system, even if it was for Rear area Air defense, tie in with a Radar system. Mount it on a tank chassis.

I agree the ECS was a pain in the butt, so was trying to find someone Certified to rig the FCS cables. No where did I say do more with less. We need more aircraft, we need more staff. One person cant fix 5 aircraft at the same time. Oh wait we did that all the time, you more then likely...

Good for them. Makes it even worse that a Maintenance Supervisor feels his staff can't maintain two types of aircraft.

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...
