This would be a perfect capability to have up North. An armed deterrent that could patrol the NW passage 24 hrs a day, without sending a massive contingent of soldiers to do the same thing.

yes, it would be a great idea. And you would get your eyes and ears on theater for a fraction of the cost of maintaining deployed soldiers.

great idea.

air-to-air with the US drones

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking.
