Canada is also considering dumping the F35 for SAAB Gripens

That being said, we've already paid for 17(?) F35s so a small advanced 5th Gen wing isn't the worst idea. With the rest of the work being done by the much more economic Gripen

    Sweden and Saab are offering HUGE amounts of investment, production, training, and technological sharing if Canada chooses them.

    I doubt it would be different if aus asked nicely lol

    Spends hundreds of billions on planes that will cost billions a year to just park. Are we really dumb enough to think Sweden will not get rich off this?

    And after we buy these planes, then what? Fight off the Russian or US military? They will be done by brunch.
