Canada should step up now! Commit to sending troops to Ukraine as the British have done. Break the piggy banks and increase the deficit to provide the largest commitment of funding support. This is the day, not tomorrow. This is historic #SlavaUkraini@JustinTrudeau@PMcanadien
@66__Parisienne@jec79 I guess the other question is what kind of race? Is it a race over flat/paved terrain, hilly, are there many passengers, through mud or water?
The Gripen has several advantages over the F 35 platform.
@66__Parisienne@jec79 βHowever, if your doctrine requires "territorial defense, Arctic patrol, & the ability to operate from remote locations with disrupted supply chains," the Gripen E shines as a highly capable & affordable multi-role deterrent.β
@66__Parisienne@jec79 I have heard/read critiques of the Gripen, some about the F-35 as well. But I have never heard either jet called obsolete.
βIf your objective is a "high-end, offensive strike" into well-guarded, hostile airspace, the F-35 is unparalleled.β
