The future is in drones. If Canada should sink funding into anything, it should be that.

I've wondered about just SAMs and MANPADs as an alternative to any new fighter jet. We can't really trust the F-35 and the alternatives (the Gripen E) might not be survivable, depending on a bunch of data I don't have.

Sure, they can't be used offensively, but that's not the main thing I worry about in the near future.

Until someone comes up with a very compelling anti-drone countermeasure, drones are basically the ideal weapon for a battlefield. Cheap, mobile, can loiter, good recon, etc.
