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

    No, you're thinking of the F-117 Nighthawk, which was downed by fluke basically. The radar couldn't be turned on very long because SEAD detected it immediately, and by chance they turned it on at the same instant one had completed a bombing run and still had the bomb bay doors open, which ruined...

    All Things Red Poppy Merged Thread (sales, copyright, usage, bans/restrictions, etc.)

    Like when Wounded Warrior Canada and Telus had a project where if you read through the list of Canadians killed in war, Telus would donate to Wounded Warrior, but because it used an image of a poppy, and not even the copyrighted version, the Legion demanded the funds go to them instead. And it...

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

    Just like the Turkey earthquake two years ago, when the government dithered so much Turkey said not to bother.

    Then he should be facing 10 to 14 years, not six months less a day.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    By 2022, most of Trudeau's worst scandals and personal flaws were already known or coming to light. And individuals waving flags isn't the same as news outlets covering or not covering certain events. Remember Telford bragging about having favourable op-ed articles written whenever needed.

    That's the AW101, which we should also get more of to expand SAR and replace the Cyclone, and maybe also for transport role.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    He'll probably lose on reelection. Floor crossers don't tend to be rewarded by their riding. Just ask Belinda Stronach.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Joe Clark's government fell because just enough PC MPs were sick, plus Deifenbaker's old riding flipping NDP in a by-election and Social Credit abstaining, while Pierre Trudeau pulled several Liberal MPs out of the hospital to vote.

    Sounds like a modern version of the Veterans Guard of Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Guard_of_Canada

    Probably less agitprop from foreign actors.

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

    First of all, there is no SEAD variant of the Gripen, either in production or proposal, so that argument doesn't hold water. Second, the F-35 is simply so versatile that there is nothing the Gripen can do that the F-35 can't, and in fact there are many things the F-35 can do that a Gripen...

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

    Last I checked, a C-130 doesn't do SEAD missions.

    Replacing the Subs

    Read Hunt for Red October once, and maybe Cardinal of the Kremlin?

    RUMINT of Canada wanting more C-17's

    First, nine 330s is probably not enough, especially with one reserved for VVIP. Second, the C-17 will carry loads the 330 simply cannot. The 330 is a fine aircraft, but it is not a replacement for the C-17.
