If Canada cancels F-35 and gets Gripen instead, what will it be like for the Canadian military to fly a Gen 4 fighter when Gen 6 will be available?
By Nigel Horney: Electronics Technician!
Nine NATO countries chipped in to help pay for the development of the F-35.
Canada was one of those 9 countries!
All NATO countries agreed to purchase the F35... this is why such an advanced aircraft is so cheap! (? -ed.)
This also benefited all NATO countries, as they could refuel, rearm, and service any other NATO country's aircraft.
After the USA elected Donald Trump for the second time, he said he would add a kill switch to the F35 and also said everyone else but the USA should be supplied with a less capable version of the F35.
Ignoring all agreements made by your previous presidents!
Since then, Donald Trump has also stated numerous times that he will make Canada the 51st state either economically... or possibly even by invasion!
After he said those things, the Canadian government decided that the Saab Gripen E/F might be the better option for them!
This is due to the fact that an F-35 nation can only fly to defend their own country, which is only possible if the USA lets them!
If they only have F-35 fighters and Donald Trump decides they can't get updates, or parts to fly them, they lose their ability to defend their own airspace.

Even though the Saab Gripen doesn't have stealth and is an earlier-generation aircraft, it's better than an F-35 that sat in a hangar, like a very expensive and useless paperweight! (Any aircraft you can fly and use to defend your own country is better than anything that needs the USA to keep it flying!)
The USA is currently proving to be completely unreliable and untrustworthy!
Your current president has pretty much taken every agreement and treaty made with Canada and every other NATO country and shit all over it!
To fly F-35 aircraft requires trust in the president of the USA... and your current president has lost all trust and respect of most of the world with his embarrassing trade war and vile lies he has made against other NATO countries.
Without this trust, the F35 is a very risky aircraft to buy and rely on!
