Canada's position is similar to Australia's and I often wonder what Australia is going to do when the enemy or it’s 5th columnists simply attack the handful of runways, the couple of dozen pilots on the ground (or their families) and the incredibly insecure weak and tenuous support infrastructure (water, food, fuel, ammunition & transport).

We too are living in la la land thinking that a couple of handfuls of FA18s or F35s give us any degree of superiority against smarter more dedicated ruthless and numerous adversary.

We will be overcome by a swarm of simple technology.
