It is used for industrial purposes. Look at google maps. Ammo storage areas have pretty stringent standoff distances, depending on NEQ. The runways are nice…certainly.

Ammo storage “might” be an issue without expropriating more land. Not sure.

If the AEW fleet ends up there, that means we are paying for airfield upgrades, anyway. Might as well make it pay with more than one Sqn…

Um- that is the current fighter force. 4 Sqns. Do you mean expand past 4 Sqns? If so, Comox, Greenwood and maybe North Bay might be players for Sqns.

There is a real danger that the First Nations overplay their hand, here.

I am not saying that it is. Pure speculation.

I watched in real time, 25 years ago, widespread smuggling across the Straits of Hormuz under the noses of IRGCN, that are supposed to know and watch everything in Iranian society. It was clear to me even then that the IRGC was at least in part a criminal cartel, as much it was a fundamentalist...

That was my other thought- that any sensors/antennae needing to go to the surface are on cables. Or, there are traditional sensors, but the PLAN, just decided to use up much of the space below it. So- maybe it is a really large UUV?

Which goes to my question: how much of this is “Iran” and how much is the IRGC doing whatever the hell they want?

Is that the IRGC just cannot help themselves? It seems to me that Iran has the US over a barrel (heh) and could easily isolate Israel. Yet, instead of cultivating the Arabs, they seem to be doing everything in their power to make them collectively side against Iran.

That is what is happening…

You don’t do sarcastic humour, huh? We will get you there yet, brother…

I mean, not to be offensive, but- no? With that said, I have direct experience in 12 Wing, watching a “garage build” situational awareness tool out perform the tool designed, built and delivered by a big contractor, for hundreds of millions of dollars.

It is not.

I want to say HMCS Charlottetown in the 2010s. The Queen visited.

Are you sure about that? My wife and I aren’t seniors and we income split every year. The tax program does it for us, automatically.

Just judging by the testimony at the Court Martial so far, I can tell there is much, much more yet to come out…

Can’t take body cams into certain areas….
