North of 49

There is no beating around the bush here. Soon, th world will be after our water and our resources in our waters. We are going to need to assert ourselves in these areas.

Needless to say, we are so boned.

As a response, some of my more military-oriented friends and I came up with a plan that could work fairly well and allow us to assert ourselves. Now, logistics:


Development of new airbase at Nanisivik.

Expansion of CFS Alert.

Deep-sea port at Iqaluit.

"Listening Post" in either Northern Newfoundland or Labrador.


Acquisitions:


20 UAV's completely dedicated to Arctic sovereignty.

Armed Ice-breakers.

6 Alenia C-27J Spartans.

Those sweet new German hydrogen powered subs(hey, we can dream, right?).


Developments:

10 CH-155 Kodiak Helicopters*


*What is a CH-155 Kodiak you ask? It is a helicopter designed by yours truly which was designed solely for the Arctic. Having a similar skeleton to that of our CH-149 Cormorants, the main difference is all-new internal components, slighty larger size, military transport purpose and Anti-Submarine Warfare.

I have a sketch somewhere, and I'm trying to dig it up as we speak.


If we implement the above, it would give us moderate ability to assert ourselves and defend our resources.


Edit: Here is the First ever draft sketch of the CH-155(then 152) Kodiak. I can't seem to find any more, which means my friends should have the others. So I present to you, the CH-155 Kodiak, albeit an earlier model. The new version isn't that different, but has some modifications.

Enjoy!
