so Comox, Greenwood...
Yeah we bought the 3 Vikings and the Mangystau-2 I guess leaving the
Aiviq for the USCG
Polar Circle for the Swedes
leaving one left on the market according to Aker
and now we have
Seaspan building one Polar Icebreaker and 15 MPV
Irving building 8 AOPV
and the "national icebreaking center"...
True the army does seem to be the red headed step child in the CAF at the moment. I think it is a matter of prioritizing resources. As far as tracked APC/IFV goes the decision was made to cancel that procurement before announcement and 2 of the three contenders were wheeled
It seems to me like we are making progress on acquisitions though? Theres no point in us buying more equipment if we cant man it either
F18's replacement F35 ordered
Aurora replacement P8 ordered
Polaris replacement A330MRTT ordered
Buffalo replacement A295 ordered (hesitation on this one lol)...
The LUVW project is going to move ahead at the pace of the process. Rarely do we let anything interfere with that. Does it not seem like the procurement process is getting a little better overall though lately?
Does it matter? Do we care? In the end Ukraine is a tool to beat the Russian beat with. Russia demographics right now are something like 2 deaths for every birth. If it costs 1 Ukrainian for every 2 Russians well its still 1 less Canadian that needs to be sacrificed either now or in the future...
I think its unknown at this time whether the Dutch subs will have an AIP or go with more batteries. As far as any local involvement it would seem like the SK have the inside track on that as both have partnered up with Babcock
There was an air bladder system installed on Toronto Island same idea really. Pump bladder full at night release during day. Not sure what happened to it as I know the bladder failed a couple of times
