#Sweden’s #Saab wants #Canada to buy 72 Gripens jet fighters and 6 GlobalEyes (aewacs) if it is to create 12,600 jobs in Canada.
First shipment of 16 F35s from US arrives this year to replace CF18s.
US may not allow #Gripens or a mixed fleet as part of #Norad.
Interestingly, in light of #Trump’s America First policies, the US jet aircraft may also be partially built in Canada.
