    Our Air Force is… Well lemme just say this.

    We had an RCAF base run out of paper a lil over 10 years ago and they had to start reusing paper and printing on the flip side.

        You’re not super far off, just a different type of ‘classified’. Confidentiality. There was a situation where someones health records were on the flipside of a page that was one of many being distributed.

        This is the real reason for the US military budget. We’re the only thing keeping Canada contained right now and bro I don’t even know anymore. These motherfuckers have flying horses now? then what? Flying moose? Oh god help us what if they team up with the fucking geese???

    That’s what happens when politicians mess with procurement processes whenever they think they can make political or personal gain from it. They do it a lot too.

      there are not, F-35 is second to none. complement that with survivable missile truck like F-15EX or F-16 if you don’t really need the former, and that’s all you need. not having F-35s is a huge disadvantage

    I gotta say, Canada. It’s a little embarassing when you’re buying our old shit.

    But you are landlocked by the US which is a deterrent in itself. That’s kind of what NZ does with being next door to us. What with their airforce of…checks notes…Yeesh. A handful of AW109s and some transport/patrol. I assume at least one of those things has some sort of weapon.
