F35s are useless in patrolling the Arctic, Gripens much better. No way Canada should be buying these from the US which is actively trying to annex it.

I am not an expert, but I thought the problem with the F-35's patrolling the Arctic was that they're single engine. Is there something else I'm missing?

The smart move is to wait for annexation and then get them for free.
