Canada actively looks active in the US-built F-35 secret warrior, and challenges with rival aircraft manufacturers, Defense Minister Bill Blair, a few hours after Friday, after a few hours after Friday
Portugal came a day after a day when he planned to think about the purchase of a high-tech fighter jet.
The re-examination in this country occurs in a political battle in a political battle that pronounces the pronunciation of the American president by the tariffs and threats for the annual Canada’s annexation.
There is a bunch of support for the Canadians to kill $ 19 billion and find an aircraft produced in the United States.
After years, the Liberal government signed a contract with the US defense giant Lockheed Martin to buy 88 f-35 aircraft in June 2023.
The conversation that came out of the bargain in Canada is currently the military, Blair CBC’s Power and Politics.
“This was a jet-defined warrior as a platform required by the Air Force, but we also investigate other alternatives – all of these warplanes should be F-35,” he said.
Canada has already put money for the first 16 fighter jets and will be delivered early next year.
Canada is looking for a supplier outside of us: Blair
Blair suggests that the first F-35 will be adopted and the rest of the fleet will consist of aircraft from European suppliers such as Swedish Saab Gripen.
“The Prime Minister asked me to investigate these things and discussed with other sources, especially in Canada, where these fighter jets could be collected,” Blair said.
It was an indirect reference to Sweden’s proposal, which promised to take place in Canada, and the transfer of intellectual property that allows the aircraft to protect the plane in Canada.
Overhaul, overhaul, overhaul and software in the United States.
The concept of Canada flying a mixed fleet of warplanes, even if the air force is purchased by the current CF-18s, the air force is something for a long time resistance. It would mean two different training modes, separate warehouses and infrastructure and a different supply chain – those who insist on all defensive planners over decades.
Before the phrase Blair, Lockheed Martin asked if Portugal’s planned performance and affect Canada.
“We expect Lockheed Martin, our strong partnership with the Royal Canadian Air Force,” Fikret Miller, “Fikret Miller, Lockheed Martin is the director of global media relations, he said.
“Foreign military sales are government operations from the government, so something better will be solved by the US or relevant customer governments.”
Miller, F-35, the US government is a “kill key” or “killing key” or “killing key” to the US government to do so, he said.
“As part of our contracts, we provide information required to protect the plane for all system infrastructure and all F-35 customers,” he said. “We remain faithful to our clients and are faithful to providing a safe service that they have completed their missions and come home safe.”
Canada will be a type of contract penalty to prevent all shopping. It is unclear how much it will cost to get out of the contract.
Billie Flynn, a retired lieutenant and former F-35 test pilot, said that the threats by Trump shook the confidence of the US defense sector.
“I believe that Canada is always an idea of the confidence that American weapons purchased each of the American weapons, or a contract where a contract where it is always,” he said. Flynn said.
Another view of any potential full or part of the F-35, Canadian Aerospace Companies are part of the supply chain of the warplane – between 1997-2021, this country will help $ 1.3 billion.
