Today I learned South Korea builds submarines. One of those things I’ve just never questioned.

They seem to keep making good promises, unfortunately the way we work we’ll end up taking the other bid

And the K9, being tracked, is a better platform than the wheeled RCH155 for arctic operations.
The positive about the RCH155 is it requires less crew (2, due to automation) than the K9 (5 at present). And the RCH can fire on the move (up to 36km/h) whilst the K9 cannot do so (yet, although future K9 variants now in the prototype phase may address both of these points).
However, the RCH155 cannot be manually loaded. I would also be curious about how reliable the RCH155’s autoload load system would be in arctic conditions.
Two good options, lots of industrial benefits being offered by the Koreans.
I wonder what platforms are being considered for the main battle tank and heavier infantry fighting vehicle replacements / new buys (South Korea offers both) …?

South Korea has gone all in on advertising their other businesses here too. Ones that employ Canadians.

Asia is the future. We need to continue developing our relationships with manufacturers that are investing in Canada and that will hopefully allow Canada invest into SK in the future.

This is one of the benefits of Canada’s decision to join the EUs SAFE initiative. Defence products built in Canada can also be sold to EU countries as if they were built in the EU.
Makes Canada more desirable for non EU defence firms to open factories in Canada as they can access both the Canadian and EU market.

Yup. Let’s sign the deal already

At this rate, they’ll probably just detach from the Korean Peninsula and tow the whole country right next to Vancouver Island.

This is all good, but we need cheap effective drones like the Ukrainian ones, or Iranian.

I wonder how much more South Korea will sweeten the pot just for the Canadian Government to say “no thanks”.
It’s no wonder things move at a snail’s pace in this country.

South Korea is on the spite filled MIC tour. The American MIC fucked them for years, South Korea developing their MIC so that they can teach others to NOT be dependent on them and can build, maintain, and not have dependency on a foreign country.
Whenever I hear about their proposals it always includes helping us build plants to build and maintain things here.
