I can, in very brief terms; I'm not going to speak to the actual capabilities of the aircraft.

Both of those cases, the CF-18 and the technology in that aircraft, and the CP-140 with largely Canadian technology, are at the top end of capabilities that are available in theatre. The latest update to the Block III Aurora has a very effective overland ISR capability that is certainly the envy of some allies, as well.

I'd say that they are top-end capabilities.
