I think Canada would have gone with Boeing F-18s had Boeing not killed Bombardier with that trade lawsuit that got tossed. Canada doesn't prioritize capability when it comes to procurement.
- pixodaros 4y agoCanada is not a bad example, because previous governments almost got railroaded into the F-35, drew it back and held an open competition, and then decided on the F-35 after all. It seems like some of the skeptics now trust the F-35 and I would like a proper article on the details (not an 'op-ed' type article that tries to sell a narrative or a vehicle). This article and the talk by Perun don't explain why opinions changed (or why to trust the claims about low costs and great capabilities this time, when early in the program they were just puffery)
