Bombardier claims a Global 6500 can fly 12233km (Discover our jets | Bombardier) . SAAB claims 11000km for global eye. Boeing claims 6482km (E-7 AEW&C Airborne Early Warning & Control Aircraft) If you’re going to fly to Alert, why not base at Thule or Yellowknife or are you giving worst case...

I’m curious what is the typical on station time and transit times of the E3 and how that would compare with Globaleye.

AAR keeps coming up by some as if it is critical. I don’t know if the detractors are aware but the Globaleye has double the range (11000km) of the Wedgetail (6500km) which is replacing the E3 (7400km). Now we are looking to acquire AEW (C?) that we never had before, although we helped to fund...

Seahawks? Not Aw101? After all, the helicopter deck, hanger and Mission Bay (2 choppers in tandem) were originally laid out for the Merlin.

Was this deal not previously killed by the US by restricting access to the F414 engine?

FIFY

If SK wants to build them in SK then Trump consider that a double cross and decide to inflict some economic harm on another Allie.

Or maybe to help GlobalEye along.

Hanwha is also trying to sell the KSS-3 to the Philippines. I’ve noticed of late that the Philippines is buying a lot of navy ships from SK. https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/11/hanwha-ocean-presents-kss-iii-pn-submarine-offer-to-philippines-president-marcos/

Meanwhile in Peru, Hyundai signed a contract to co-develop the HDS1500. https://thedefensepost.com/2025/05/06/peru-s-korea-submarine/

The only aircraft with AAR are the Wedgetail and the Embraer 145 modified by India for AEW. The Embraer needs AAR because its range is a fraction of an G550 or Global 6500. Unless E3Harris builds a working prototype then it’s vapourware. As Oldgateboatdriver has asked, what is the justification...

I found a not so long document from the War College that lines up with what you’re saying : https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA437607.pdf

USN opposed Canada getting nuc subs, but Reagan overruled the navy. There was much American opposition to allowing the Brits to sell Canada the Trafalgers. I think the notion of nuclear ice breakers was decades before Mulroney.

I understand your point about people high on meth/mental health are extremely difficult to arrest but it doesn’t ‘appear’ to be so this time. The suspect screamed in pain when tasered, collapsed and a cop was securing the perp before the ‘moving violation’ occurred. I have only the vaguest...

“Stop Resisting!”,yah right. I guess you aren’t supposed to be in major pain after being run over a few times. As the poster said, Absolute Clown Show. The injured cop is probably going to retire on that claim and the driver is going to do body cavity searches for the rest of the year.

Are you referring to the object on top of the forward radome. Isn’t that the weather radar.? That would be the worst location for a probe and drogue. Jet fuel spillage on the radome and windscreen is not a good thing.

Germany won’t ever get nuke boats. 2 years ago they made IMHO the stupidest mistake by closing thei last nuclear power station in their knee jerk reaction to the Fukushima tidal wave mess.

On a lighter note, it hasn’t got to the point of falling out of a window. Yet.

I don’t see anywhere in the literature that Phoenix has AAR.
