Canadian Submarines to Bolster Arctic Security, Govt Steps Up Defence | Firstpost America

The Arctic is currently a major point of contention as Russia, China, and the West vouch for control over the tundra. Canada is taking assertive measures to protect its territory in this battle for supremacy. The Canadian government has announced that it is initiating the procurement process for 12 conventionally-powered, under-ice capable submarines. However, it also underscores the growing concern regarding potential threats in the future. Despite currently spending 1.37% of its GDP on defence, Canada's new defence policy anticipates that this expenditure will increase to 1.76% by the end of the decade.
