Canada Builds 190 New Armoured Vehicles | Winnipeg News

Canada’s military is getting a major boost with a $2 billion investment to build 190 new armoured combat support vehicles right here in Canada — at a General Dynamics plant in London, Ontario. This landmark deal, the first under Ottawa’s new defence industrial strategy, will expand the Canadian Armed Forces’ fleet to 550 vehicles and create or sustain around 6,000 jobs over eight years, with parts sourced nationwide. It’s not just about national security — it’s about empowering Canadian industry and strengthening alliances. Canada has already sent 89 vehicles to Ukraine, and 35 of the new batch will be delivered to support Ukraine’s fight. This isn’t the first time Canada and General Dynamics have teamed up — 360 vehicles ordered in 2019 are still rolling out, already deployed in Latvia and Afghanistan.
