1. Why would they put them all on one building? And then say where it is? Are you kidding me? Any marginally competent enemy could decapitate the whole thing with one snip, just cut the wires and knock over their antenna. One strike could do that.

   Put them in mobile sea containers all over the country, you morons. Fiber optic is cheap. Transmitters and satellite antennas are cheap. And off-base housing is cheap, not to mention.

   Who are these imbeciles?

   1. Party because there’s only two hundred if them. They’ll probably be operating one or two drones.

   2. The purpose of military contracting has always been to get governments reelected. It has little to do with operational requirements.

   3. Any drones in Canada will be used in Canada, against Canadians.
      No mobile containers. Heavily fortified bunker close to the ministry of truth in Ottawa makes sense.

      1. ^^^^ This.

         1. They keep droning on and on. It is getting tedious, and is, like, harshing my mellow, dude.

   4. The US controlled drones in the middle east from a base in New Mexico. It worked fine.

   5. Functionally, they are the people who are left after you abused your military for 50+ years, and made it into a social experiment. The same people who in the interests of “diversity” promoted people not qualified, into roles that can’t fulfill. It’s run by the same geniuses who thought that if you attack groups that have a long history and culture of service, you can replace them with the multicult hordes that do not have the same history and culture.

      And they all did it wilfully and maliciously, knowing full well what the results would be.

2. The story should read more “The RCAF currently does not have drones”. Unless rented. That is the story.

   1. They do not have drones, except on their bagpipes.

3. How can a country release “billions of dollars” for defence spending when that country is broke?

   1. Pending environmental assessment studies and years of questions on who is in charge.
      That is if they can find anyone who doesn’t think it’s their job as the paperwork gets lost from ministry to ministry of provincial and federal bickering.

4. So whose drones are they buying and for how much (after the money laundering/graft kicks in)?

5. Canada should just buy used British drones that don’t fly and can’t be made to fly.

6. $65 million? Hell, for that, they could buy another ARRIVECAN App.

7. Note to Trudeau … Bill Clinton just left our TOP SECRET laptops lying about. And sure enough some went missing …

8. The are MAiD drones, right?

9. Yeah they promised to do the same in Bagotville, maybe a decade ago and it didn’t happen. Do I hear an election coming?

10. if it runs anything like centralized parks canada , no enemy will ever need to fear us.

11. Funny how 2 days ago I read about all the surplus military buildings that could house the homeless, but that it could take years to change the zoning bylaws etc, and now we find the military is building new facilities to house drones (which is odd because they fly outdoors). Hopefully somebody made some money.

12. A permanent building for 11 drones, which are typically run out of a small trailer with an antenna farm?

    And it seems like a large number of people for a small number of drones.

    1. The drones are operated by a flight crew, several if the missions are long, and they will be. Then there is the data analysis and intelligence work. The drones won’t physically be in Ottawa. If they are on both coasts, they will do fisheries patrol, pollution patrols, etc. The boring crap the CP-140 used to do. They might stick the engineering team there too, but I doubt it. They will also need to set up some kind of Group HQ.

13. SNAFU…a term long ago coined to critique the operation of government bureaucracies. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

    “Just days after Canada’s top soldier publicly advocated for more openness on defence issues, his office refused to release a copy of that speech.”
