    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Canada's really big. If it's 3 hours out and back to station, that gives you five hours on station if you're willing to risk landing on fumes. So for 24 hour coverage (which you need sometimes) that's at least three aircraft operating. Bring in AAR and your endurance is multiplied because...

    RUMINT of Canada wanting more C-17's

The reality of timelines for any strategic initiative means that there will be changes in leadership, and each successive leader will want to announce it. Again. (This hypothesis extends beyond the political level)

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Manufacturer claims need to be taken with a large grains of salt. Besides, endurance includes transit time; time on station is important.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    The CAF has an indecent obsession with retention over turnover and renewal. Not everyone should stay 15--20-25-35 years. The principal failing of the VAC benefit is that it doesn't provide subsistence support, meaning that those best positioned to take advantage of it are those with higher CAF...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Replace Griffons with Blackhawks and Cyclones with Seahawks. Or all with AW149s.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    It's not a DND or CAF benefit. It's a VAC issue.
