Am I the only one that finds it weird that they went out of their way to specifically call for one alternative?
>As a firm based in Sweden, a dependable NATO partner, Saab provides Canada with a stable, predictable source of defence co-operation — two middle powers fulfilling Mr. Carney’s stated goals.“
A political party praising this random foreign company, and demanding we sole-source this contract exclusively with them is downright weird.
Why do people keep shilling the Gripen? Lovely aircraft, but if you really want to beef up Canada’s military, then the F-35 is the obvious choice.
If you match the two aircraft up in aerial combat, it’s no contest. The F-35 can kill the Gripen well before it’s in visual range
I’m concerned the decision makers haven’t got the memo that the US is not a reliable ally, actively threatening us. I know people say people in procurement are slow as fuck, but man this is a bold strategy.
