I was a bit confused by Saijan's messaging in powerplay

He basically said the money to do that was already there, but couldn't answer where it was coming from.

he was really evasive on the fighter jet questions, especially around the intern fighter program.

I wasn't really clear but it sounds like instead of replacing the Victoria Class Submarines which are a basically 30 year old frame without under arctic capabilities, they're going to basically rebuild them from the ground up, which to me, might end up becoming more expensive then going out on the market to get more modern and advanced Air Independent submarines that might have the legs to operate under the arctic.

He did hit on most of the requirements that I've talked about which is a plus. Its up to the government now to carry through, though Saijan stated that even if the government is bounced in the next election, the majority of the preliminary work will be done.

I guess the test comes at the next budget as he basically promised that there will be purchases in terms of personal kit and field communications.

I'm going to download the document this weekend and run through it.

Call me cautiously optimistic though I've seen this all before.
