The F-35 is a poison pill for Canadian defence sovereignty against a hostile America. We cannot win against an invasion, but with the Gripen we can make it a phyrric victory for them.

No, I mean I think the US can remote disable the plane
I’m not sure that’s a confirmed thing but Trump did make the threat last year, so 🤷
They aren’t proving they can’t because they refuse to give us the code. We have to assume they can.
Whoosh
Sorry, I am missing it I guess?
It doesn’t matter if you only use them in training. At worst you can’t train, but it doesn’t stop you from responding to an actual military situation.
Pretty expensive training cost for the benefit.
Especially since, as Ukraine has shown, buying swarms of little drones can make expensive airplanes like the F-35 a non-factor.
I’m not Canadian, but as someone who doesn’t like the US military, I’d advise you to cancel your contracts with the US, and buy lots of drones from China and Turkey, while you ramp up your local capacity to build them. Let the Americans choke on their own military contractor welfare.
No.
