Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Wednesday that his government would not purchase early-warning-radar planes from the United States, opting instead for a European model.
Canada will purchase Swedish Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on the Canadian-manufactured Bombardier Global 6500 jet.
Tensions between the US and Canada have been high since Donald Trump launched a trade war against the US’ northern neighbor and even suggested that Canada should become the 51st US state, which caused widespread outrage in Canada, just as Carney was seeking the post of prime minister and succeeded in getting elected to it.
Since then, the Canadian government has also opted ot review the planned purchase of US F-35 fighter jets to explore other options.
You’re getting downvoted by simps who don’t know the history of this turd, they keep quoting design stats as if they are true.
F-35s were stuck over a year at Lockheed on software glitches, and they can’t fix it. Pentagon report.
US Navy even rejected them and refused to accept delivery.
This is a fucking Edsel.
