The next domino: Canada is now also looking for an alternative to the F-35

With Canada the next NATO partner is now looking for alternatives to the US fighter jet F-35 ($LMT (-0,53 %) ) and is examining various models such as the Gripen ($SAAB B (-3,1 %) ) or the Eurofighter ($AIR (-4,05 %)
$BA. (-3,18 %)
$LDO (-3,64 %)
$MTX (-3,06 %) ). The background to this is not only financial aspects - technical requirements and geopolitical considerations also play a role. At the same time, there are questions about maintenance costs and military independence from the USA. With its decision, Canada is setting the course for new international cooperation. This opens up exciting opportunities for the European aerospace industry.


In my opinion, Saab's Gripen currently has the best chance of becoming Canada's newest fighter jet. The concept of the Swedes, especially in terms of range, price/performance, maintenance and usability (optimized for use in Canadian latitudes; for take-off and landing on regular roads in remote regions and service there with small teams) fits like a glove to the Canadian aviator's eye. Canada also has the opportunity to produce the Saab Gripen in its own country.

Not only Canada is rethinking its position, Europe is too.

Is a trade dispute really worthwhile for the USA :'D

How competitive are the EU jets compared to the F-35? The last I checked, the Americans still have a mile-wide technological and military advantage over EU jets with the F-35 (not visible on enemy radar). How do you see that? Apart from the aspect that the EU fleets could be deactivated at any time.
