Canada picks U.S.-made F-35 fighter jet as next warplane, source says
The Canadian government has selected Lockheed Martin Corp., the American manufacturer of the F-35 fighter jet, as its preferred bidder in a $19-billion search for a new warplane.
The announcement will be made today, a source told The Globe and Mail. They were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
This development means Canada starts negotiating solely with Lockheed Martin on a contract for the combat aircraft.
If negotiations are successful, Canada could start taking delivery of new fighters as early as 2025, the source said.
