Wolemba Maya Garfinkel ndi Yiru Chen, World BEYOND War, January 25, 2023

Opindula pankhondo ali ndi vice grip ku Canada. Pambuyo pazaka pafupifupi 20 zakuchedwa komanso mkangano wokhudza ngati Canada iyenera kugula ma drones okhala ndi zida koyamba, Canada. analengeza mu kugwa kwa 2022 kuti idzatsegule kuitanitsa kwa opanga zida zankhondo zokwana $5 biliyoni zankhondo zankhondo. Canada yalungamitsa malingaliro okulirapo komanso owopsa awa potengera kuti ndi chitetezo. Komabe, poyang'anitsitsa, zifukwa za Canada za lingaliroli sizingavomereze kuwononga $ 5 biliyoni pa makina atsopano opha.

Dipatimenti ya National Defense idatero ananena kuti "pamene [drone] idzakhala yapakatikati yotalika kutalika kwanthawi yayitali yokhala ndi luso lomenyera bwino, ikhala ndi zida pokhapokha pakufunika ntchito yomwe wapatsidwa." Kalata yachidwi ya boma ikupitiriza kufotokoza mwatsatanetsatane momwe angagwiritsire ntchito zida za drones. "Ntchito zopatsidwa" izi ndizofunikira kuziwonanso kachiwiri. Mwachitsanzo, chikalatacho chimayambitsa zochitika zongoganiziridwa zomenyedwa. "Njira Zopanda Mayendedwe Zandege" zimagwiritsidwa ntchito poyesa "kuwunika moyo" pa "malo angapo omwe akuganiziridwa kuti ndi zigawenga," njira zofufuzira za "ma convoys a coalition," ndikupereka "kuyang'anira." Mu plainspeak, izi zikutanthauza kuti zinsinsi za anthu wamba zitha kukhala pachiwopsezo. Ma drones nawonso amapatsidwa ntchito kunyamula Mizinga ya AGM114 ya Hellfire ndi mabomba awiri a laser a 250 lbs GBU 48. Izi zikutikumbutsa za malipoti ambiri a asitikali aku US akupha anthu wamba molakwika ku Afghanistan chifukwa choti adayimba foni molakwika potengera zomwe zidatumizidwa kuchokera ku ma drones.

Boma la Canada latulutsa mapulani ogwiritsira ntchito zida zankhondo za National Aerial Surveillance Program kuti zizindikire zochitika zapamadzi ku Canadian Arctic ndikuteteza zamoyo zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutha komanso zachilengedwe zam'madzi. Komabe, palibe umboni wachindunji wofuna ma drones okhala ndi zida za pulogalamuyi, popeza ma drones omwe siankhondo ali. okwanira pakuti anaziika udindo. Chifukwa chiyani boma la Canada likugogomezera kufunikira kwa ma drones okhala ndi zida ku Canadian Arctic? Titha kuganiza kuti kugula uku sikungofunika kuwongolera komanso kufufuza zambiri komanso kuthandizira pampikisano womwe wakwera kale. Kuphatikiza apo, kugwiritsa ntchito ma drones okhala ndi zida kapena opanda zida kumpoto kwa Canada ndizovuta kwambiri kuvulaza Amwenye kuposa kuyang'anira zochitika zapamadzi za ku Arctic. Chifukwa cha ma drone ku Yellowknife, omwe ali m'dera la Chief Drygeese pamtunda wamtundu wa Yellowknives Dene First Nation, zochitika za drone zili pafupi kuchitika. kweza kuphwanya zinsinsi ndi chitetezo kwa amwenye.

Mapindu omwe anthu amati amapeza pogula ndege zopanda anthu ndi zakuda. Ngakhale kufunikira kwa oyendetsa ndege atsopano kungapereke ntchito zina, monganso kumanga malo opangira zida za drone, chiwerengero cha ntchito zomwe zapangidwa ndizochepa kwambiri poyerekeza ndi chiwerengero cha anthu aku Canada omwe alibe ntchito. Mtsogoleri wa Royal Canadian Air Force Lt.-Gen. Al Meinzinger anati gulu lonse la drone lingaphatikizepo za mamembala a 300, kuphatikiza akatswiri, oyendetsa ndege, ndi ena ogwira ntchito ku Air Force ndi zida zina zankhondo. Poyerekeza ndi ndalama zokwana madola 5 biliyoni zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pogula koyambirira kokha, ntchito za 300 sizikuthandizira mokwanira ku chuma cha Canada kuti zilungamitse kugula zida zankhondo.

Kupatula apo, $5 biliyoni ndi chiyani kwenikweni? Chiwerengero cha $ 5 biliyoni ndizovuta kumvetsa poyerekeza ndi $ 5 zikwi ndi $ 5 mazana. Kuti tikwaniritse chiwerengerochi, ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pachaka ku Ofesi yonse ya United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees zakwera pafupifupi $ 3 - $ 4 biliyoni m'zaka zaposachedwa. Izi ndi ndalama zonse zapachaka zogwirira ntchito bungwe la UN lomwe limatumikira anthu pafupifupi 70 miliyoni padziko lonse lapansi yokakamiza kusiya nyumba zawo. Komanso, British Columbia amapereka anthu opanda nyumba omwe ali ndi $ 600 pamwezi pothandizira lendi, komanso chithandizo chokwanira chaumoyo ndi chikhalidwe cha anthu chomwe chingathandize anthu oposa 3,000 omwe amapeza ndalama zochepa ku BC kupeza nyumba pamsika wamba. Tiyerekeze kuti boma la Canada linawononga $5 biliyoni kuthandiza anthu osowa pokhala m'malo mosunga zida mwakachetechete. Zikatero, zitha kuthandiza anthu osachepera 694,444 omwe akukumana ndi vuto la nyumba mchaka chimodzi chokha.

Ngakhale kuti boma la Canada lapereka zifukwa zambiri zogulira ma drones okhala ndi zida, nchiyani kwenikweni chomwe chikuyambitsa zonsezi? Pofika mwezi wa November 2022, opanga zida ziwiri ali kumapeto kwa mpikisano: L3 Technologies MAS Inc. ndi General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. Onsewa atumiza anthu okopa anthu kuti akalimbikitse Dipatimenti ya National Defense (DND), Ofesi ya Prime Minister (PMO). , ndi madipatimenti ena a federal nthawi zambiri kuyambira 2012. Komanso, ndondomeko ya Canada Public Pension zimayendetsedwa m'makampani opanga zida za L-3 ndi 8. Chifukwa chake, anthu aku Canada ali otanganidwa kwambiri pankhondo komanso ziwawa zamayiko. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, tikulipira nkhondo pamene makampaniwa amapindula nayo. Kodi ndi amene tikufuna kukhala? Ndikofunikira kuti aku Canada alankhule motsutsana ndi kugula kwa drone uku.

Zifukwa za boma la Canada zogulira ma drones okhala ndi zida mwachiwonekere sizokwanira, chifukwa zimapereka mwayi wochepa wopeza ntchito komanso thandizo lochepa pachitetezo cha dziko sililungamitsa mtengo wa $ 5 biliyoni. Ndipo kulimbikitsidwa kosalekeza kwa Canada ndi ogulitsa zida, komanso kutenga nawo mbali pankhondo, kumatipangitsa kudzifunsa kuti ndani amene akupambana ngati kugula zida za drone kupitilirabe. Kaya pofuna mtendere, kapena kungoganizira za kugwiritsa ntchito moyenera ndalama zamisonkho za anthu aku Canada, anthu aku Canada ayenera kuda nkhawa ndi momwe ndalama zokwana madola 5 biliyoni zomwe zimatchedwa chitetezo zidzatikhudza tonsefe.
