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

[PrairieFella]

Srellantis just announced they are quitting Brampton. They were going to retool there. Now it's moving to the US. There's not going to be many voters happy to send their tax dollars to American OEMs while their neighbours are being laid off.

Noah is reporting some defence manufacturers are seriously considering buying and retooling it. Might be a nice asset seizure for the feds to facilitate after Stellantis effectively stole our investment money.

Like I said, if we get what we actually wanted like oil exports and F35 to placate Trump, we should plan a triumph for the negotiators. Little worried about the Golden Dome part of the tweet though, seems like a total scam.

The key to Golden Dome is sensor fusion/data processing, it’s not an Iron Dome type setup (though it can coordinate interceptor options)

Lots of specific Canadian niches that will likely end up involved in it.

Ignore the stupid naming aspect from Midas…

So far he seems to have been happy solely with his name for it, and has been distracted by his new career in naval architecture.


The theoretical benefits to this (Golden Dome) go way beyond national security, but can also assist with SAR, and beyond.

We shall see when details come out.
