„The Trump administration’s threats to annex territory or impose 25% tariffs on Canadian aerospace components have changed the math. Relying on the F-35 means relying on ALIS/ODIN, a cloud-based logistics system hosted on US servers. If the US decides to ‚lock out‘ Canada during a trade dispute, Canada’s entire air force could be grounded. Relying 100% on the American defense industrial base makes Canada a ‚vassal‘ to US domestic politics.“
This again? I don’t see any new information, this is just a blog regurgitating a topic we’ve talked about to death.
To answer the title’s (likely rhetorical) question – one of the interesting things I learned during this whole ordeal was that the F35 program depended on economies of scale based on allies buying the F35 from them from the get-go. So it’s no wonder none of the options make sense now. Allies don’t trust the US, the projects are way over budget anyway, but the Gripen continues to not make sense as well – the jet isn’t comparable, depends on American parts anyway, nor has Saab delivered on the productivity promises they made in the past, so Canada isn’t likely to see those 10k jobs either.
It’s a shitty choice either way.
The USA will be worried about all this military spending *not* automatically going their way. We’re on the hook for 30, and my guess is another 14. I still think they’ll order enough to satisfy our share of the duties, then take the Saab deal.
First Carney must move on Saab . Trump and administration make choice for us 🚫 about jets! So that over! 🤔,,,,Carney sign EU SAFE ,,for one,, Denmark,, NATO ,,agreed on Gripens Saab needs another manufacturing base for demand,,bombardier- Rolls Royce,,have to break ITAR! 70% defence spent in 🇨🇦. 126,000 sq ft building in Dorval ,,under construction 🏗️,,could house Saab jets ,,most important diversify from US Defence ,,Carney Davos !
If🇨🇦 moves to Gripens ,,away from US Defence who else will follow 🇨🇦 lead may well cost US defence contractors $$Billions
