Lee und Carney besprechen die Beziehungen vor Südkoreas U-Boot-Angebot in Kanada

This so really a no brainer, Korea has proved over and over that it can deliver relatively affordable and good quality defense options. You order from Germany for exponentially high costs and incredibly long build time. The prime of manufacturing has passed in Europe, defense or otherwise.

Based on what I’ve heard from Canadians, Ottawa has a history of choosing the worst option when it comes to military procurement. So if Korea really wanted the contract they should have offered half the subs Ottawa wants, all built in Korea, and over budget and late to deliver.
