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

    Bomb truck is one element, Chances of both fleets being grounded for issues is limited. Less issues with maintenance and I suspect less security requirements. The F15x is faster and flies higher. Carries significantly more payload, has a far greater airframe life and and lower maintenance...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Have Canada build new carriages and we can re-equip all of our Reserve units and make more for the Ukrainians. Would get us back into the heavy weapons game. Eventually making barrels here as well.

    Latest news: Conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan

    I wonder if Pakistan and India will work together or at least not work against each other in defeating the Taliban?

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I have advocated for this for a long time. Add more helicopters to the CCG fleet so they can give more support, or even buy the same helicopter and paint them grey and run them the same way, maybe have TC rent the crew and airframe to the RCN, like they did with the CCG for decades.

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    I know several people who got burned by Hyundai on those engines. We almost bought one and glad we went for a used Honda instead.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Still in fitting out, but getting closer to commissioning, @Underway is the most knowledgeable on the subject, but he might not be able to give dates yet.

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    Many Hyuandi and Kia owner might disagree with you. Toyota is recalling 270,000 vehicles to inspect their engines, with 2024 engines often getting outright engine replacements. Then there is the Ford Lion engine debacle. Honda 3.5L and 1.5L engine recalls. JLR with it's 5L engine issues and now...

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

    I am a big fan of the F15X, but yea a decent sized chunk of the F35 is made here, I think we would need some F15X parts contracts and new POTUS that loves Canada to make our government even think about it.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    That would impact Vancouver as we lack refining capacity, and that refined product we import is made with feedstock we ship to Washington State.

    Here I was thinking "Japanese Expeditionary Force" and another Kido Butai in the making.

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    What is killing engines today is long service intervals and usage that the vehicle is not designed for. What Furniture said is very true, the short trips most urban people do are very hard on modern engines. A company must meet an "average fuel consumption" across it's fleet or face fines. So...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    I would say shoot down any Iranian airliner/aircraft flying to Yemen and make a very public notice that you will do so. They have no pressing need to go there.

    EV's, Gas/Oil, and The Future- another swerve split from- JT Hints Boosting Canada’s Military Spending

    I will argue that non-EV vehicles peaked just after 2000 when you factor in price, reliability, features.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I asked AI to give a comparison table for Polar Class, Russian ice class and ice classification that was used by the CCG and this is what it gave me.

    That sounds far to much like a plan, therefore I don't believe they are that capable
