“THE WORLD IS GROWING DARKER”- MND ANITA ANNAND Today Canada’s Defence Minister Anita Annand signaled changes to Canada’s Defence and Foreign Policies are coming including changes to Canada’s Strong, Secure, Engaged (SSE) Defence Policy to include Canada’s commitment to NORAD upgrade programs...

The "basics" must include a robust NORAD modernization program including a BMD capability, an 8-10 SSN Fleet, a "true" Strategic Sealift Capability, UUAV autonomous systems for the RCN, HALE drones for ISR in the Arctic, Aurora replacements (soon), new, AAW ground missile systems, and most...

You could be right Merzifonlu. These Neptunes could also be used in a "surface-to-surface land attack mode I would think, so maybe Ukraine has already expended their entire stockpile. Perhaps these "home made" Naval Strike Missiles have been exhausted and they cannot be made available during the...

Thank Nilgiri for these recent pics (if they are legit). It could be though that these are pics used to "confuse the enemy" as Putin is well known to go very deep into propaganda. Do we know if the whole crew go off? It would be very interesting to know her 'final resting place" (Lat/Long)...

Hi Nilgiri! There is a nasty rumor going around that the Moskva had at least 2 tactical nukes on board when it sank. I hope its not true. Can you confirm? :eek:!!

Hope these vehicles help Ukraine out!! They deserve all the help we can give them!:mad:

Can you at least tell the forum what "version" of the MARLIN 30 30mm gun did Canada buy? Also, if they have moved the Satcom antennas fwd to around the "new" mast, why could they not then increase the size of the CIAD Sea Ceptor missiles from 24 to 48? There would certainly be enough room for...

Yeah, he does have a knack for that........doesn't he?;)

Understand completely Ted, however if you are the "spokesman'" for LM, let's not tease the "public" or forum members. :LOL:

Care to keep the group informed Ted and share some of those pics & videos?:unsure:

Nice image Ted however a 360 degree computer graphic view from LM would be better.

As far as both the LM F35A AND the CSC Frigate projects go, it is not a forgone conclusion until the contracts are awarded and signed by LM & Irving shipyard. Any thing could happen as you well know and things could alter, so let's just wait and see.

A contract has not yet been signed, so lets not put the "horse before the cart" just yet. We need only to look at the CSC Frigate decision and where it also stands!:cautious:

Very interesting concept Nilgiri and probably what Canada needs in a piloted/autonomous aircraft (TAV), if we could ever get to over the 2% of GDP for defence spending. These TAVs would sell like "hot-cakes" too!! Cheers!

Although that could be true Ted, the inexcusable delays by the Liberal government have put us where we are today! PM Trudeau will feel the pain of the Canadian people and the RCAF at the polls sooner than later!!

Could not agree more Ryder!! And they are still throwing money at this program! Maybe we could get a credit for what we've sunk in thus far? I don't think so! The US is not that crazy!!

Finally!! What took so long? After 10 years of wasting time and money!! We could have had these F-35's operational by now! What a waste!!

Governments can change just as quickly as they came into power especially this government as you very well know. Priorities change just as quickly. We shall see what the next few months will bring. One thing is for sure though; under this government, defence spending will not increase to where...

A more prudent energy policy is exactly what Canada needs right now. We should have Gas & Oil pipes going straight across the country.....but we don't. The oil fields of Alberta pipe lines go West to Vancouver to foreign tankers and East to Toronto and Montreal. They stop there. The Atlantic...
