>WASHINGTON — Canada will explore an interim buy of 18 Super Hornet fighter jets from Boeing, a blow to Lockheed Martin that kicks a final decision on whether to procure the F-35 further down the road.
>"Canada will immediately explore the acquisition of 18 new Super Hornet aircraft to supplement the CF-18s until the permanent replacement arrives," the Canadian government announced in a release. "Canada's current fleet is now more than 30 years old and is down from 138 aircraft to 77. As a result, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) faces a capability gap."
>Canadian Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said Canada will launch a larger fighter competition next year, after it wraps up its defense policy review. But the competition will likely take about five years, which kicks the decision into the next administration. Liberal Party Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had vowed not to buy the F-35 joint strike fighter.
>Trudeau bitches out and throws the inevitable F-35 decision to the next administration because he made a dumb campaign promise.
Somehow i'm not surprised.
Why do other countries even bother with militaries when Article 5 means they can slough off defense costs onto American taxpayers? America has basically subsidized national defense for the entire civilized world.
At this point I'm not even worried about Canada's defense, I'm worried about the safety of their pilots.
Is the RCAF just going to rely on 18 Super Hornets for the next five years or is Trudeau going to stop being a cuck?

I imagine they'll start retiring the legacy Hornets that are in truly awful and unmanageable condition.

I'm gonna finish paying on layaway for a new shotgun today. My question is if I should try to weasel a box of shells too.
I've been shopping there for 5 years, but I don't want to be that guy
Pic unrelated, will post scattergat if thread still up
I'm thinking the conversation will go
>Thanks for the gun! I don't rekon I could get a box of shells too?
>Get out Anon.
But maybe there's hope
Yeah no.
Most places that do that shit will do a box of ammo for your first purchase.

Look, it is this thread again.
Everything past meteora was fantastic, fuck off.
>Hearing Protection Act just updated with a new provision.
>It basically says "fuck you" to all the states that ban or heavily regulate suppressors.
>States like New York, California, New Jersey and Hawaii will be forced to allow the sale, possession, construction and distribution of suppressors, as if they were long guns

I don't speak legalese, does that mean Chicago can't suppressors anymore?

Interesting.
Spec OPs teams love silencers.
They work great for say taking over cargo ships and sniping in certain irradiated areas.
You have my support on this, free bump OP
Any airgunners here? I want to plink with something at home but I'm not really even sure what I want. On the one hand I want a spring piston on the other I want a co2 replica that might have some carry over on the range with an actual gun.
Anyway, if it's your hobby tell me a bit about it.
Lurk the Pyramid air blog. Dude who runs it is a bit of a shill for that store but the posts are actually informative and based on methodical testing.

Just a bunch of insecure faggots that think they hold God by the balls because they shoot at bottles and shit.
>>32082115
I really laughed at this. It's so fucking true. Most of us don't have any combat experience or weapons to boast of but we'd probably all jump at the chance to live in a SHTF world with only a surplus mask and the Kossack's song blaring over our shared internet radio. It's sorta why love you guys.

Why is the SKS the quintessential SHTF rifle?
>>32080650
I'd rather have a good single shot or magazine fed bolt action .22, personally.
>>32080839
Can you explain why? I'm not criticizing, just curious.
I'm mainly asking why the SKS is considered the be-all end-all of SHTF rifles. I'm sure you've heard the "grab SKS, go innawoods" saying.
>>32080884
At the time when the meme came about you could get them for very cheap, like nuggets. A dirt cheap semi auto rifle that just took a bit more practice to reload fast and did pretty much anything ar-15s and aks did? Insta meme.

I guess I'd just go after them with a sharp stick then. Zakus were the backbone of Zeon's army. Well that and colony drops.
