- cmrdporcupine 5y agoCan't land on a gravel strip
- zip1234 5y agoThe US has 2 squadrons of F-35s in Alaska.
- juki 5y agoFinland also just recently signed a deal for 64 F35s after several years of research and comparing alternatives. I'm fairly confident that if there was some significant problem, they would have picked something else.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoNo offense but there's a huge difference between tiny Finland and pretty small Alaska and the giant Canadian North. Finland has a large border shared with Russia but it's nothing compared to the massive mostly undefended coastline along the arctic ocean that Canada shares with Russia. An absolutely potentially huge operating theatre.
- hoseja 5y agoExcept for the minor detail that Finland shares a land border.
- yobbo 5y agoIt might need a landing parachute on short or icy runways. The other concerns mentioned is that stealth is compromised with drop tanks which are needed for range. There might be other concerns?
