We also know that we're not getting the F-35 fleet in full operation until 2032. We don't have the pilots for the CF-18s. We know that the training in Canada has been wound up. We're going to be relying on the United States to train our pilots, and they have a backlog of their own pilots, plus pilots from other allies to get through their own system. We aren't going to be able to address the pilot shortage quickly enough to deal with the threats.
The war is not going to wait for us if things continue to escalate on the global scene.
