Canada picks German consortium (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems)
to build a dozen submarines in one of the country’s largest-ever defense contracts.The order itself is estimated to be worth ~ US$12B (£9bn) but the contract also includes roughly half a century of maintenance, meaning the total bill could exceed US$70B.
Canada is also considering purchasing 72 Saab-made Gripen fighter jets. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/06/canada-buys-12-tkms-german-norwegian-submarines-after-bidding-war #Canada #Defense #Submarines #ThyssenKrupp #Germany #CanadianNavy #Saab #FighterJets #Military #Gripen

I cannot help but sigh deeply whenever politicians get involved in strategic military discussions. This is in no way to disparage, in this case, Senator #Shoebridge as he rightly points out that a handful of submarines will not guarantee open sea lanes to Australia in the event of war. For what it’s worth, Sen Shoebridge is only targeting the Govt’s goto spiel about #AUKUS, that is a simple message which the public can understand and focus on.
While the govt messaging about protecting sealanes being the reason for SSN acquisition is not entirely wrong, it is not entirely correct either. Submarines platforms are primarily intelligence, insertion, and deterence platforms, #Stealth is something SSN currently have in spades. Their stealth characteristics make these SNNs a force projection multiplier in any theater of sea warfare and likely to make an aggressor think twice before they commit to offensive actions. This comment is not a defence of #AUKUS since that is simply a defence acquisition project. But it is in defence of the need for undersea platforms that are stealthy, highly survivable, can transport personel, equipment and stores, carry offensive and defensive elements and traverse transoceanic distances at speed without refueling. Those needs are dictated to the ADF by the govt of the day in terms of assigned strategic missions and outcomes. In short, our ADF (men adn women pledging their lives to defend us all) deserves the very best materiel and platforms we can provide in order to carry out those missions and responsibilites entrusted to our them.
Everything else is plainly just politics, played by, I dare say, less than genuine and knowledgeable individuals.

Australians have a choice, we can continue business as usual which would see us devote countless resources on #nuclear-powered #submarines we don't don't need, can't afford, and that put us in danger.
Or we can peacefully #optOut.

Ministers are said to be open “in principle” to the idea of building conventionally-armed #nuclearpowered #submarines like Britain’s #AstuteClass for them which cost nearly £2billion each. #Australia pulled out of a £65billion deal with #France in favour of building nuclear submarines through the #AUKUS pact — sparking a major diplomatic row in 2021. #Anglosphere #China
