What would CAF be like with a budget of 2% GDP?

Buy 36 Superbugs at least 12 of which should be Growlers, followed by 36 F35's. Snowbirds should convert to legacy CF-18's.

I think the Dutch support ship Amsterdam is to decommission this year perhaps Canada could buy or lease this vessel.

The Netherlands selling 44 used CV9035NL Canada bought used MBT's why not used CCV's, if Canada were to buy the JSS Karel Doorman maybe The Netherlands would throw in the CV9035NL for free.

Canada would be wise to snap this ship up, HMCS Vimy Ridge or HMCS Juno Beach perhaps?

Forward base frigate at Pearl, should help with crew retention.

Buying a Bay from UK would be a good move IMO, the AOR/JSS program could then be scaled back to just a pair of basic AOR's of Canatria or Berlin class the Bay providing lift that basic AOR designs lack.

GDLS to build 600 Namer HAPC's for Israeli at Lima Ohio, IMHO the Namer would be the perfect vehicle to accompany Canada's Leo 2 MBT's, Sole source the CCV contract have GDLS build 100 or so HAPC's at Lima for Canada, ship them to London Ont to fit Canada specific equipment.

Check out Remington's R-15 in .204 Ruger or .223 Rem, if you want something heavier Remington's R-25 is avialable in .243 Win, 7mm-08 Rem or .308 Win.

How many armed Griffon's in CAF service, how many Griffon's being sent to Afghanistan if any? Canadian Apaches pilots any CAF exchange pilots ever fly Apaches with any of are NATO partners?

British Apaches have a folding blade mechanism for shipboard storage to support amphibian operations. IMO Apaches would be good for CAF, besides escort recce and fire support missions, a foldable rotor would enable Apaches to be embarked in new JSS or even aboard a frigate/destroyer for...
