Instead of Canada investing in a fixed in place air defense network, why don't they actually invest in what Canada doesn't have which is mobile battlefield anti-air defense systems that can protect our troops on the ground. The fact that we currently have 0 capability to protect our troops from air strikes is amazingly stupid.
From what I saw Cap, that is what they are procuring. And agreed, not having anti air protection for our troops is stupid...even worse than the last of modern anti tank weapons that this crisis has also shown.
