Royal Canadian Air Force joins other nations on RAF's biggest exercise 

Only people who have no idea what the Hornet is capable of give it a bad name. It is still an absolute lethal fighter plane to this day 👌🏻✌🏻

​Great Comment! FINALLY a person who knows what he's talking about!👍

It's Not a Lot Better it's BETTER than any Russian fighters period as are all US or Allied fighters!!

Try going to war in 1.

It was a shocker!😂

It was "Bring your kid to work day", junior was at the controls.

Came here to literally comment the same thing haha.

Was a little crazy 😅

​@@slashd0tme too

F-35's are on the way... someday

In case you don't know the USMC still uses hornets and will until at least 2030 or beyond until all are replaced with F35's.

Damn. They really do just get the hand me downs.

@@admiralmallard7500 Hand me downs? They were purchased new in the early 80's.

@gryph01 Yes but the Navy and such have super hornets. The Joke is that they're using all the old equipment that's been phased out mostly like cobra attack helicopters and Venom which is a modern huey

Refueling probes

​@@tts8361You Ever hear of upgrades? You ever hear of Red Flag or Top Gun. Dinosaurs maybe but that's Highly debatable. Can F18's defeat 5th generation enemy fighters. Maybe or Maybe Not but they damn sure can defeat most other Enemy planes out there. Simply put Better plane and Better pilots period end of story!

no all of those a/c parts are used on the Aussie short hour birds as they are not the same a/c as cf-188's

We do. Our armed services are small but is very active with missions around the globe.

Is that right? I'm American, and I don't appreciate your comment.

Thanks I didn’t know what country you meant before I saw the flag emoji as well

Their military is a joke to be completely honest. It’s small and outdated. Their power index on the global scale is 27 not exactly a first rate military by any means

could have happened if the neocons were in power

Well us Canadians are flying vintage Hornets

They are 40 years old.. 😅

@@jayspik6498 they look dreadful surprised they not update to new jets

@@leighmonty13 Canada 🇨🇦 is a welfare state. There’s No Money

Why? They're combat aircraft being used as intended, not show ponies. As long as they're serviceable, who cares..

What is the Canadian aircraft

Well, at least the Canadian army is bigger than the British army.

I thought you guys converted a civilian ship to a supply ship while you wait on the new ones? The MV Asterix I believe its name is?

​@SCscoutguy We did, and you got the name correct. It's actually served incredibly well so far, and the quarters are definitely spoiling sailors as the living quarters on the new ships won't be anywhere near as luxurious 😅 (Most crew get their own room, or share with 1 other. Hi-speed wifi, and furnishings one doesn't usually find on a military ship!)

Oh boy...where do I begin? - We've provided Ukraine with 200+ Senator armoured vehicles (I think with another 100 on order) - We provided them with 39 ACSV vehicles & 8 Leopard 2 MBT's, as well as 4 M777's (ACSV based on LAV 6 hull, those vehicles had been intended for Canadian units but were diverted. Think big armored recovery vehicles) - 100 84mm Carl G recoiless rifles (M3 version) + 20,000 rounds - Assortment of various small arms & grenade launchers, at about 20,000 items - We also provided them with a NASAMS Ukraine is getting a mix of some of our kit that we had planned to eventually replace anyway, and fancy new kit we wish we had! But they ARE fighting a war right now, right in their own backyard, against a superior enemy. They need all the help they can get.

hmm you do realize a certain US unit also showed up in Afghanistan in dark green as well and other western nations as well but that doesn't suit a political narrative does it. cf-188s are old but effective (sorry ) The supply ships are being built on the west coast but something at the yard is slowing them up. Oh and the Ukranians got new vehicles but so are we, they needed them now.
