I love your optimism, but Trump (hopefully) is gone in 3 years and the Canadian public is short on attention so things could change back to no mo money for CAF. Just the pessimist in me says ’Revised fleet: 3 destroyers, 8 subs 2 AORs 6 Corvettes 6 AOPVs

Multi year contract includes 2 Foreign Military Sales: https://defence-industry.eu/rtx-wins-785-million-contract-to-supply-350-tomahawk-block-v-cruise-missiles-to-u-s-forces-allies/

US dept of war just placed an order for 350 Tomahawks

I agree with you, but LM still posts on their site a 2010 brochure with RAMblk2 and ExLS is still shown on River illustrations. I’m not happy about Canada using ExLS until some other sucker proves it on their ships

I haven’t seen any images on RCN or LM sites showing RAM launcher. ExLS is still there, so one might assume LM is pushing ahead with RAM launched from ExLS.

Harrier jump jet, Bland food and single malt Scotch to wash it down

The Golden ‘White House’, Golden Dome and now the Golden Fleet. Where’s Gold Member ? At the 2min mark the Admiral could have been talking about Constellation class before Navsea decided to change everything. 2:26 Halifax class centre screen.

The advantage of our new tankers is that they can transfer fuel using both methods and thus support a broader selection of aircraft making them useful for both NORAD and NATO. And the A330 booms work unlike the KC46.

It helps both SAAB & L3 , but SAAB has been bending over backwards to get Canadas attention. L3 Phoenix system will be a harder sell to Canada or Europe since it’s Israeli and American. Not sure why you believe that the roof (upper fuselage) is the only place for a “receptacle’ unless you’re...

Looks like the government is giving SAAB a hand to securing the AEWC contract with funding Bombardier to look at air to air refueling. https://skiesmag.com/news/rcaf-to-acquire-six-bombardier-global-6500-multi-role-aircraft/ The RCAF will also seek air-to-air refueling to extend the range, a...

Impersonating a cop:

“The investigation began in 2024” , that’s an incredible amount of time to pass before being charged. And when did the unauthorized disclosure actually occur? How long was he faking a disease? Can’t wait to see the news coverage.
