Coincidence or are they using the dog whistle funny number against the administration that did not see this coming?
As a Canadian I approve the cancellation of US jets!
Just gonna leave this here, for reasons.Swedish-Canadian Gripens, built in Canada.
Makes me wish that the KF-21 was ready a few years earlier. Those look like amazing jets, but if we started looking at them now we’d have to restart the whole evaluation process.
Maybe Canada should buy a few just to fully understand their capabilities and weaknesses.
replace much of its planned 88 F-35 fleet with roughly 60 Saab Gripen fighters while retaining 30 F-35As
I’ve been reading up on them. They are very different types of jets. Gripen is a defensive jet while F35s are built to attack, and has more advanced tech. I’m waiting to see their combat performance once they are in Ukraine. In some ways drones are going to make them obsolete soon.
All the goodies tech of the F35 are behind a server in Texas. Which means that if the US choose to invade Canada we have 88 paper weight who cost a fortune
Fuck the F35
