Something tells me that NATO fighters....or,more specifically,RCAF fighters,could deal with the situation very nicely.

Unfortunately, our CF-18s are older than some of our pilots! It would be interesting to see the French lease at least one of the Mistral-class amphibious assault ships originally destined for Comrade Putin, up armed with Harrier IIs, to the RCN. Of course, several years of training would be required since our last CVL, the HMCS Bonaventure, was retired and scrapped in 1970. I doubt that there is a single RCN member who was a seaman then.

I’m going to assume that Canada has not cut their pilot’s flight time?

HMCS Toronto has Standard SAMs onboard so she could probably taken them out all on her own.
