“IKhanada ayifuni ezinye iinqwelomoya zemfazwe,” watsho umququzeleli uMaya Garfinkel ohamba naye World Beyond War, umbutho onenjongo yokususa umkhosi eKhanada. "Sifuna ukhathalelo lwezempilo olungakumbi, imisebenzi emininzi, izindlu ezininzi."

Isivumelwano sikarhulumente somdibaniso sokuthenga iijethi zokulwa ezili-16 kumenzi waseMelika uLockheed Martin sele esemsebenzini ukusukela ngo-2017.

Inqanawa entsha yokulwa nayo iya kuvumela abakhweli beenqwelo moya baseRoyal Canadian Air Force ukuba baqinisekise ukhuseleko oluqhubekayo lwaseMntla Melika ngeNORAD, kwaye bafake isandla kukhuseleko lomanyano lweNATO.

UGarfinkel akavumelani nendlela karhulumente.

“Ndisiqonda ngokupheleleyo isidingo sokuxoxa ngokwanda komkhosi ngamaxesha emfazwe,” utshilo. "Sikholelwa ukuba ukuze kuncitshiswe amathuba emfazwe kwixesha elizayo kufuneka kubekho amanyathelo okuya kuphuhliso lokwenyani kunye namanyathelo okunciphisa izinto ezithintela imfazwe, njengokwandisa ukhuseleko lokutya, ukhuseleko lwezindlu ..."

“Enyanisweni, banokuba sezantsi ngenxa yokuncipha kokusetyenziswa kwezinto eziyingozi, kunye nokubanjwa okucwangcisiweyo kokukhutshwa. Uhlalutyo luxhasa isigqibo sokuba ukutshintsha inqwelo yokulwa yangoku kunye neenqwelo zokulwa zexesha elizayo akuyi kuba nefuthe elibi kokusingqongileyo, ”ubhale watsho uLamirande.
