Oh (dear) Canada.
After all this time it comes down to two completely different aircraft. Both of which are single engined (please re-read the thread for why I bring that point up again).
As I have said before, you don’t include F35 in your competition unless you want fifth gen. So how can Gripen (even the NG model) ever compete?
After all these years Justin must be getting his spin doctors wound up into a proper frenzy to work out how to play this one. Is he just hoping that the world will forget that he cancelled the F35 purchase all those years ago? Lucky the media have a short memory I guess…
