And if it was that unsuitable for military ops, why is it the 124 is under contract to SALIS?
SALIS is exactly what it's called on the packet - "Interim". If current reports are correct, it looks like the Canadians are about to made a sensible choice (IMHO) that balances freight capacity with a host of other military capabilities that the 124 doesn't offer.
