Njengoba izinhlangano zomphakathi emhlabeni wonke zifuna ukususwa kwezithombe ezinempikiswano, umbutho wezempi waseCanada uhlela isikhumbuzo sendiza yempi endlunkulu yayo entsha eCarling Avenue e-Ottawa (insimu ye-Algonquin engacelwanga).
Indiza ye-CF-18 izokulwa kubikiwe zibekwe phezu kwesisekelo sikakhonkolo njengengxenye “yecebo lokubeka uphawu” ekomkhulu labo elisha.
Kanye nokunye ukufakwa - kufaka phakathi imoto elula ephethe i-armored (LAV), efana naleyo esetshenziswe e-Afghanistan, kanye nesibhamu sezikhali esikhombisa ukubandakanyeka kweCanada empini yamabhunu eNingizimu Afrika - izindleko zephrojekthi yesikhumbuzo zizodlula $ 1 million.
Yimuphi umongo okufanele siwugcine engqondweni lapho sicabanga ngetshe lesikhumbuzo le-CF-18?
Ukuthunyelwa kwamabhomu okungu-1,598
Izindiza zezindiza zeCF-18s zenze okungenani ukuqhutshwa kwamabhomu okungu-1,598 kule minyaka engama-30 edlule, kufaka phakathi Ukuthunyelwa kwamabhomu okungu-56 phakathi neMpi yokuqala yaseGulf, ukuthunyelwa okungu-558 ngeYugoslavia, 733 phezu kweLibya, 246 phezu kwe-Iraq, nabahlanu eSiriya.
Ukufa komphakathi
IRoyal Canadian Air Force ibikade iyimfihlo enkulu ngokufa okuhlobene nale mishini yokuqhuma kwamabhomu ithi, ngokwesibonelo, ikwenzile "Akunalwazi" ukuthi noma yimaphi ama-airstrikes awo e-Iraq naseSyria abulale noma alimaze izakhamizi.
Kepha kunemibiko yokuthi amabhomu aseCanada balahlekelwe imigomo yabo izikhathi eziyi-17 ngesikhathi somkhankaso wezindiza e-Iraq, lelo bhanoyi elilodwa e-Iraq labulala izakhamizi eziphakathi kwabahlanu kuya kwabangu-13 futhi lalimaza ngaphezu kweshumi, kuyilapho abaningi Kushone abantu abangu-27 ngenkathi enye ibhomu eliqhutshwa ngamabhanoyi ngabashayeli bezindiza baseCanada.
Ikholera, ukwephulwa kwelungelo lamanzi
Umkhankaso wamabhomu oqhutshwa ngamabhanoyi wase-Iraq e-Iraq ububhekise kakhulu kugridi wezwe kagesi, okuholele ekushodeni kwamanzi ahlanzekile nokuqubuka kwesifo sohudo okungenzeka kwathatha izimpilo zabantu abangama-70,000. Ngokufanayo, imishini yokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu yeNATO eLibya yenza buthakathaka ukulethwa kwamanzi ezweni futhi ishiye izakhamizi eziyizigidi ezine zingenawo amanzi aphuzwayo.
Ukwehliswa kwemvelo, izimakethe zezigqila
UBianca Mugyenyi ubuye waphawula ukuthi i-African Union iyaphikisana nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eLibya ithi lokho kuzolimaza izwe nesifunda. UMugyenyi okuvelele: "Kwaqubuka udlame lokulwa nobuNsundu, kuhlanganisa nezimakethe zezigqila, okwabe sekuvela eLibya futhi udlame lwasakazeka ngokushesha lwaseningizimu neMali nakulolonke uhlangothi lweSahel."
$ 10 billion ezimali zomphakathi
Ukuqhutshwa kwamabhomu eCanada kulawa mazwe kwenziwa lula ngemali engaphezulu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama- $ kwizimali zomphakathi.
Izindleko ze-CF-18s $ 4 billion ukuthenga ngo-1982, ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.6 ukuthuthukisa ngo-2010, futhi $ 3.8 billion ukwelula impilo yabo ngo-2020. Amabhiliyoni ngaphezulu ngabe achithwe ezindlekweni zikaphethiloli nezokunakekelwa kanye $ 1 billion umemezele kulo nyaka ngemicibisholo yawo emisha yakwaRaytheon.
Ukusheshisa kokuwohloka kwesimo sezulu
Kubuye kwagqanyiswa ngomthelela omkhulu i-CF-18s eye yaba nawo emvelweni nasekusheshiseni ukonakala kwesimo sezulu.
UMugyenyi unayo ezibhaliwe"Ngemuva kokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okwenzeka izinyanga eziyisithupha eLibya ngo-2011, iRoyal Canadian Air Force iveze ukuthi izindiza zayo eziyizigamu eziyishumi zidle amakhilogremu ayizigidi eziyi-14.5 - amalitha ayizigidi eziyi-8.5 - kaphethiloli." Ukubeka lokhu ngombono, imoto ejwayelekile yomgibeli waseCanada isebenzisa cishe 8.9 amalitha kagesi ngamakhilomitha ayi-100. Ngakho-ke, ukuthunyelwa kwamabhomu kwakulingana nezimoto ezingama-955,000 ezazishayela lelo banga.
Izindiza zezindiza emhlabeni owebiwe
I-4 Wing / iCanada Forces Base Cold Lake ese-Alberta ingesinye sezikhungo zamasosha omoya kuleli ezenzelwe amasosha e-CF-18.
Abantu bakaDene Su'lene 'basuswa emazweni abo ukuze kwakhiwe lesi sisekelo kanye nohla lwezikhali zomoya ngo-1952. Umvikeli womhlaba uBrian Grandbois kusho: "Ukhokho wami ukhokho wami ungcwatshwe lapho endaweni ethile kulelo chibi lapho bebhomba khona."
Ukucabanga kabusha ngempi
Itshe lesikhumbuzo elibeka ngokoqobo ithuluzi lempi esisekelweni alikhuthazi ukuthi kubonakale izakhamizi namasosha afela ezingxabanweni. Futhi akubonisi ukubhujiswa kwemvelo okubangelwa umshini wempi. Akusho ngisho nokuthi ukuthula kukhethwa empini.
Lokho kukhombisa okubucayi kubalulekile, ikakhulukazi ohlangothini lwabasebenzi bezempi abalinganiselwa ku-8,500 XNUMX basendlunkulu abazobona indiza yempi njengoba beqhubeka nomsebenzi wabo.
Njengoba uhulumeni waseCanada elungiselela ukusebenzisa u- $ 19 billion ekuthengeni izindiza ezintsha zempi, kufanele ukuthi sibe nenkulumompikiswano ejulile esidlangalaleni ngendima yomlando neqhubekayo yezindiza zempi kunokuba sizibulale ngokungafanele.
UBrent Patterson uyisishoshovu nombhali wase-Ottawa. Ubuye abe yingxenye yomkhankaso wokumisa ukuthengwa kwezindiza zempi ezintsha ngama- $ 19 billion. Ukhona @CBrentPatterson ku-Twitter.
