Canada buys $2 billion worth of military drones

We are talking about the acquisition of remote control aircraft systems (RPAS). The purchase will be made through a direct commercial contract.

Canada will spend C$2.4 billion (about US$1.9 billion) on advanced combat drones. This was reported by the Canadian Ministry of Defense.

We are talking about the acquisition of remote control aircraft systems (RPAS). This procurement is through a direct commercial contract with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, and some selected parts are available through the US Government’s Foreign Military Acquisition Program.

As noted, the new military UAVs “will be comparable in size to a fighter jet.” Unlike small drones, RPAS are designed and certified to strict manned flight standards.

In total, Canada will buy 11 drones and some drone ammunition, six ground control stations, some training simulators and related services.

The drones will be based at military bases in the provinces of British Columbia and Nova Scotia, and a central ground control center will be established in Ottawa.

According to Defense Canada, the first delivery is expected in 2028, with full operational capability expected in 2033.

Let’s recall that the previous Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the transfer of 11,000 assault rifles and more than 9 million rounds of ammunition to the Ukrainian military.

Canada has also reportedly moved six robots to Ukraine for remote mine clearance.
