F-35 Cancelled, then what ?

[Jet Jockey A4]

In Canada they talk about the Super Hornet, the Rafale, the EuroFighter and possibly another aircraft as possible replacement for our older F-18s.

So not being an expert on these aircrafts, how much less stealthy are they when compared to the F-35?

Also if the Super Hornet is a candidate for the job, what about the latest version of the F-15? How much do those that aircraft cost?

I always thought the F-15 was the aircraft Canada really wanted back in the 80s but it could not afford it and settled on the F-18.

After all the F-15 is faster than both the F-18 and F-35, it’s probably got some of the latest electronics, it’s got two engines and is probably a better interceptor than both aircrafts.

So if today we are ready to spend money on the F-35, wouldn't a newer more modern version of the F-15 work for Canada?
