      If buying all the f-35’s were to stop all their threats id probably say fine. But I dont see that happening. We could buy all 80 of them and their administration will still find other reasons to threaten us and tariff us.

      Well, we paid for 16 and I bet 16 stealth aircraft is probably enough for Canada’s NORAD responsibilities. Lets get 70 or so Gripens. They aren’t stealth but they are much cheaper to operate and can get maintenance done in many more places than an F-35. We’ve seen how poorly the Russian air force is handling Ukraine. I am not confident they can be a threat without going nuclear. We can modernize our air force without all of jets being stealth.

      From the article it seems that reliability, parts availability and mission readiness would already be enough reason to give us pause. Supplementing a small number of F-35s with a larger number of Gripens seems like a wise choice, especially if Saab will set up assembly in Canada.

      Its a mixed fleet , done deal .

      But for the arguments state , with the flexibility of the Gripen, f35s would be less likely needed from America to intercept in Canadian airspace as we would be able to spread our fast reaction operational capabilities much faster and farther then with F35s,.
