I wouldn't mess with those Officers, they are well trained from what I hear.

That funny, manufacturer states they are going to do this by this time line. Realizes they cant even come close so ask the customers for their resources and input to make it work. Some catchy words in there, Tolerances are across the board, some tighter then others. All achievable by trained...

Yet there is Airshow, F16s, F35, F22, B52 and the list goes on and on.

Hire the Nuclear Security Officers that guard our Nuke plants.

Seas Span is a large company that has multiple divisions. Again cheap dollar and limited yard space. Outside of the Canadian Military recently, how many ships (major and small) does Seaspan build in their BC yards? Yes they do lots of maintenance and dry dock work.

I thought we were buying the Aussie Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar system. This should in itself calm the US and their NORAD complaints. Couple that with the Remaining DEW site radars up north and add a few (lots of these) Interceptor missiles and we have a winner. They buy natural resources...

Cheap dollar and limited yard space does that for clients. How many major ships do they work on, how many Military ships outside of Canadian ones. Ask New Zealand how their upgrade went?(yes there was many factors involved, but the yard did not build a strong case for itself).

Yet indications are the F16 will be in service with the US military until at least 2048 and longer if they can push the airframes past the 12000hr mark. We are looking at 20-25years from now. Which means it might not be a bad idea to buy a decent 4.5 gen aircraft.

I don't think we will see many of the 4-4.5 Gens going anywhere soon. The F16, 15 etc will be around for another 15-20 years. I feel Saab has found a potential partner in Canada that has been looking at and wanting the 6th gen and even 7th gen platforms. Canada said a number of years ago the...

The US is getting a bit desperate for support I think. They have failed to overall strongarm Europe into buy America.

I will always be a dual fleet even tri fleet person. 1 Platform does not do it all, no matter how much we want to believe it will. We also open ourselves to fleet wide groundings with a single fleet. If Canada was to buy 65 or 88 F35s and 100 Gripens (or F16, I would prefer F15s)then I think it...

It sucks to have equipment on the healing fence due to lack of parts.

I think this is a way for Ukriane to entice Europe to release some of the seized Russian money. I doubt it, Canada needs to make its own choices. I don't think Ukraines deal makes any effect on what we do in regards to Aircraft. When Canada scaled back their NATO fighter Pilot training program...

Funny how they are investigating this now after watching a movie. I wonder where this investigation will go. The last one went no where purposeful.

I use to work a 8-9 hr day Civi job, Drive 1-1.5hrs Go to Parade Night, train until 10-1030, Drive home and go to work in the morning. They should be getting time off in lue. If they are not then that is a Leadership issue that needs to be fixed. I know our RSS staff worked modified schedules...

Isnt this old news.

Nearly all those subsidiaries were bought up because of the tech they provided to the main company. very few of our allies Defence companies around the world are not linked to a US Defence Companies. But if those countries said they would no longer do business with the US then things might heat...

Lol successful large, medium and small companies in Canada with President's with out direct experience in the market they operate in Go? Make it even more difficult that are not heavily subsidized by the Federal and Provincial governments. Defence procurement is always a political game. But...

Oh you mean they hired a marketing expert to market their product. Wow so why couldn't a expert in nuclear fission not be their marketing lead. Use advice from from their work force to be successful? Practical application is a check in the box for their next promotion/ postion/appointment. Call...

Canada was always after 6th Gen Fighters and the Tech behind them. We will need to have intern fighters until the tech is their for AI jets. Part of the F35 program was to command and control multiple wingman jets. I believe it was up to 4 per F35, that was a pipedream. Time going forward...
