If Trump’s going to break his freetrade contracts with Canada, we should just go ahead and jailbreak Aegis and eventually replace it with CMS.
The F-35 deal pretty much has go too, we can’t but our frontline equipment from an adversary. The modernization of the Rafale and the Gripen E both say they have an enhanced ability to engage 5th gen jets, both could be a good call for Canada.
I’m particularly fond of the Gripen. Just an opinion, but personally I hope we get our hands on those. But regardless, even if we get the best available fighter in the world, without the numbers, and the maintenance infrastructure, budget, resource and training to support them, it wouldn’t matter anyways
Not just the ships. So much stuff comes from the US.
I’m still mad that we didn’t just license the perfectly adequate FREMM frigate.
