Nothing new here, announced in June.

As I said at the time, a cynical way to buy F-18E/F/G (more orders doubtless to follow over the years) without holding a competition - the "new" competition no doubt slipping/extending into the future as, eventually, a F-18E/F/G replacement. The new USAF long range penetrator sounds far more designed for Canadian range needs.
