I should have looked up the construction of these KUNG boxes first... they're made of steel angle frames and plywood walls, covered in aluminum. Maybe this version will just be using steel sheets instead.

its the Keng version.. Sold by Temu

RF-18F SUper Hornet with camera nose as flown on earlier Hornet variants and EA-18G ELINT pods. I could see several different services operating this aircraft. I could definitely see self-protection armament being carried, too.

Canadian GB / THE UNITED STATES OF CANADA

In 1790 an independent Federal Republic of Canada is established. The charter was signed by seven original states in Quebec City. The founding states are Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. This groundbreaking alliance broke free from the British control and laid out a new direction for the North American continent.
The governing system included a balance of powers between the central parliament and the regional states. Ontario and Quebec served as an industrial and agricultural core along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. The maritime states of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island bring a considerable political weight with a naval and shipping agreement.
Newfoundland and Labrador to the north-eastern part of Canada added fishing industry and strategically placed ports to the federal states. The difficult lifestyle of these coastal territories made the leaders self-reliant and tough political figures, advocating for a strong naval defence and unrestricted trade with Europe.

A multilateral world 1960-1980
By 1960, Canada stood as the leading global superpower. It built this status on vast industrial strength and untouched natural resources. The nation used its unmatched economic and military weight to reshape the international order. It demanded a rapid end to traditional European rule overseas.
Canadian leaders pushed European empires to free their colonies. When old powers resisted, Canada applied heavy trade sanctions and diplomatic pressure. This forced wave of decolonization dismantled old global networks. Canada stepped into the resulting vacuum to guide new states into its own powerful sphere of influence.
A massive political shift shook the nation on July 1, 1975. Canada officially abolished the monarchy and declared itself a democratic republic. The historic transition modernized the government structure. It united the federal states under a new republican constitution without slowing down the country's global dominance; overseas territories either became independent (such as Hawaii) or became full fledged states of the new federal republic.
By 1980, the Canadian Republic ruled a vast economic and political domain. Its navy patrolled the major oceans, and its currency anchored global markets. Through calculated decolonization and bold internal reform, Canada created a new kind of global regime. It ruled the world not through old-style colonies, but through dominant economic and political treaties.

Pax Canadensis 1945-1960
Canada emerges from World War II as the world's supreme economic and military superpower. Driven by a massive wartime industrial expansion and the exclusive early control over atomic technology, Canada holds the definitive monopoly on nuclear weapons. This decisive technological advantage shifts the global balance of power firmly to Ottawa.
Using this unmatched nuclear strength, the Canadian government issues an ultimatum to the Soviet Union. Canada demands the immediate and total withdrawal of all Red Army forces from Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, Moldova and border areas finland. Backed by the credible threat of atomic deployment, the Canadian military establishes a ring of strategic deterrence across the continent.
Faced with overwhelming nuclear superiority and devastated domestic infrastructure, Soviet leadership complies. Moscow orders a full retreat of its forces from Poland, the Baltic nations, and the rest of Eastern Europe. Local resistance movements and exiled governments return to their liberated capitals under the watchful eyes of Canadian peace-enforcement coalitions.
A new global order takes shape under Canadian hegemony, often called the Pax Canadensis. Eastern European nations regain their independence and join a Canadian-led democratic alliance. The Soviet Union turns inward, heavily contained and isolated, while Canada stands globally as the ultimate architect of the post-war world.

1930-1945
Canada managed to withstand both the economic and political upheavals of the early 1930s that devastated much of the western world.
The Empire of Canada entered the Second World War in September 1939, immediately mobilising its vast industrial base for global victory. Canada assumed military leadership across two simultaneous transoceanic fronts. Whilst Canadian convoys secured the Atlantic, the factories of Ontario, Quebec, and the western provinces operated at maximum capacity. Local shipyards and plants supplied the vital weapons, steel, and aircraft that sustained the Allies in Europe and forged an overwhelming force for the Pacific.
In the Pacific Theatre, the Canadian strategy rapidly neutralised Japanese expansionism through a policy of relentless naval containment. The Royal Canadian Navy deployed its Pacific fleet and strategic bases in Columbia and several pacific outposts to blockade enemy supply routes and isolate Japanese forces. This suffocating barrier halted the enemy's advance across the ocean. Canada successfully consolidated its defensive positions and guaranteed the absolute security of all Allied shipping lanes throughout Asia.
The final phase of the Asian conflict was marked by a blistering Canadian counter-offensive that shortened the war drastically. Elite troops and heavy bombers from the Empire of Canada launched massive, direct assaults against the Japanese homeland. Unable to withstand the concentrated firepower and the ongoing economic blockade, Japan surrendered swiftly. This lightning victory firmly established Canada as the undisputed military titan of the post-war world.
