Canadian military mission to eastern Europe costing $370Gs an hour
Citat:Taxpayers are paying $250,000 an hour for deployment of CF-18 jets to eastern Europe amid the Ukraine crisis, QMI Agency has learned. National Defence documents show the hourly bill jumps to more than $370,000 for a frigate, helicopter and pair of cargo planes for an operation one former diplomat says is "playing with fire."
The cited costs are for operation of machinery and do not include living expenses for crews and 220 troops deployed in neighbouring Romania, nor direct economic support to Ukraine.
Each CF-18 consumes more than 4,400 litres of fuel per hour, and requires maintenance and engineering costing more than $17,000 per hour.
The CF-18s, which date back to the 1980s, are unarmed and provide what's being called a "visible presence" near Ukraine.
Canada has also reassigned its frigate HMCS Regina, which had been conducting anti-terror operations. The ship, with more than 200 crew, costs about $290,000 for each day at sea.
Canada's Chief of Defence Staff, Tom Lawson, said Canadian troops should expect to stay in Europe for "30 to 60 days," after which time Canada would be willing to consider further deployments in collaboration with NATO.

Finci u problemima....
Citat:President Sauli Niinistö, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish Defence Forces, has in an interview with YLE confirmed that fighter jets of the Finnish Air Force were unable to respond to the violations of Finnish airspace by two Russian aircraft on 20 May.
Savon Sanomat on Saturday wrote that the jets were not on standby due to attempts to reduce the backlog of overtime and were only able to respond to the violations four hours after the detection.
A few hours after the intrusions, also a third Russian aircraft was detected approaching the southern coast of Finland, but it was intercepted by two jets deployed by the Karelia Air Command.
The Finnish Ministry of Defence has declined to deny or confirm the reports about the preparedness of the Hornet fleet
