The Canadian Armed Forces, in response to increasing diplomatic tensions with the US and President Donald Trump’s rhetoric, have begun working on defense models against a possible US invasion for the first time in 100 years.
Elchi.az reports that officials emphasize that this work is entirely theoretical and a precautionary measure, but it is extremely important in terms of showing the state of relations between the two countries.
According to a report published in The Globe and Mail, the Canadian military is aware that it will not be able to stop the US in a possible attack by traditional methods. Therefore, the following strategies are highlighted in the prepared model:
Instead of a direct frontal war, the focus is on sabotage, ambush and hit-and-run tactics. An official stated that this model was inspired by the tactics of those who fought against the Russians in the Soviet-Afghan war of 1979-1989. The goal is to make the occupation expensive by inflicting heavy casualties on the occupying forces.
The effective use of drone systems is planned instead of traditional heavy weapons.
