Canada's tanks

[Maxman1]

I wonder which would be more feasible, convincing Rheinmetall to open a factory in Canada, or BAE to open a factory and build new Challenger 3s (the Challenger 3 is an extensive upgrade of existing Challenger 2 hulls rather than a new production).

So that's a hard 'no' for the upgraded M1 then?

So are newer tanks going to come with a co-ax or cupola mounted, belt fed 12g shotgun for dealing with drones?

200 plus tank hulls plus another 250-400 IFV. Enough for an assembly plant?

Doubtful and last I heard HDFM was unfunded as is the MCAV project. Likely not due to a lack of money, but more they dont have enough people to administer the projects with so many others on the books already.
