/k/ - Weapons

i know that feel fam

at least your country isnt willing to spend billions on motherfucking patriots, an aa that never worked

or on 40yeras old f16 that were broken before they even entered country

>open and transparent competition

Uh… what the hell?

Is he confusing the super hornet purchase with the F-35 purchase?

My understanding of Canadian acquisitions is that one party starts a program, rigs it to favor the outcome they want, spends a decade fucking around and never completing the buy because it's expensive, then the other party campaigns on how wasteful the first party is being, gets power, cancels the buy and eats a half billion dollars in penalties, then realizes they still need to buy new whatever it is and starts their own program that they then rig. Is that accurate?

> decades-old F-18s from Australia.

Wait, what did the Australian military replace f-18s with?

>>535620

Tbh this is probably the best analysis of political-mil-industrial complexes worldwide.

>>535621

Broken bottles concreted all around the coastline to prevent invasion.

Glass ya, mate.

>>535621

iirc the F-35A

>>535629

Don't you already have jellyfish for that?

>>535621

Somalians I think more F-18s and the F-35A, the F-35C would've been more poetic

At least you have fighters.

hahahahahahahahah

There is no way its that bad

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm going to wake up in a second aren't I?

hahahhahahahhahahAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHa

>worrying about military force projection when your country has gut rot and doublecancer

we in a similar boat, leafnigger

Kek, I thought this was the most pathetic country.

>>535673

Yes I know right. I can't believe that the Australian government are actually selling the aging planes to Canada. Isn't it dangerous to use very old planes???

>>535584

Clearly the final solution to your problems goyim is to buy more F-35's :^)

It could have been worse.

They could have bought F-35s.

>>535673

Forgot about Canada mate.

>>535678

They're just older than the pilots!

Not going Super Arrow

>Here are two 1:48 Scale finalized Super Arrow hard carved from hardwood models.

>These models are only available for sale to Canadian residents only and only if you pass our security screening.

>We reserve the right to not sell these models to the general public.

MY GRAND UNCLES LEFT FOR CANADA FOR A BETTER FUTURE!

HOW AM I GOING TO BREAK THIS TO THEM?!

>>535781

Went it comes to taking the piss you'd be surprised at the lengths we can go.

Are they seriously still going down with this deal?

>>535754

A resurrected arrow might not be a bad idea, a supersized version of MiG-25 except capable of supercruise.

That way they could have one untouchable base on the shores of the bay of hudson's and reach any territorial water of Canada in 40 mins.

Buy 50 of them, and 150 of Textron Scorpion for bombing and other duties. Instead of 70 multiroles that can't do either job.

Ole Step-In-Water produced a situation where the next PM will have to replace the ENTIRE airforce all at once. Your youngest airframes have about the same age as the Australian ones, so the entire airforce will be hitting its expiry date in the 2020s.

Pretty funny IMHO.

>>537160

Don't worry I'm sure we'll buy those second hand from you as well.

>>537182

Watch it turn out that LM charges a $60m transfer fee for second-hand fighters and Canada spends more to buy them used and outdated than they would have cost new.

>>537225

and like true Canadians they will pay the fee to Lockheed without complaint

>>537157

Why bother? Canada wouldn't defend itself against an attack anyway.
