@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: The US is not actually hostile to Canada. The military to military relationship remains as close as ever and the US will never not be our largest trading partner. You can't change geography.

@HarelBarok: Canada already has F-35s on contract and there's no indication of that changing.

@JoaodosReisAlb1: Do I need to be in order to observe that Gripen has lost nearly 20 bids? Pretty sure a 10 year old can understand that.

@TomcatJunkie: Literally the first sentence: "There are anonymous accounts on this platform that are worth following (some really worth following)". Thought I was being clear with what I was conveying but perhaps not.

@revenantsplines: Yes because there's a financial incentive to do so. It's the verified and anonymous accounts that need the most scrutiny.

@jeromeportier @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: F-35 is not that low, and you only need a handful of F-35s to wipe out the entire Swedish Air Force.

@jeromeportier @AndrewLavende11: The same exists for any other aircraft from any other supplier. The US also holds an export veto on Gripen because it has a US engine.

@DraxlMiroslav @GibisVB: What should be compared then? How does any potential customer evaluate two different pieces of military equipment? Forget about aircraft generations and aircraft altogether. Generations are a semantic argument, what is actually being compared is the capabilities and the price point.

@BMedicky: > F-35 20 successful bids
> Gripen ~20 unsuccessful bids
Your premise is frankly moronic. Nobody is buying an American aircraft because they think they might need to fight the United States. They are buying it because you want your pilots to have the biggest possible advantage over possible adversaries, such as Russia & China.

@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Trump is gone by the time our first F-35s will be operational. Should be much more concerned about pro-Russian governments getting elected in France and elsewhere in Europe.

@ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Respectfully George, the RCAF understands history very well. It's emotional politicians that do not.

@Vmaxpax: The Houthis did not down a single F-18, and zero Gripens have been lost because the Gripen has never seen combat aside from like a single sortie flown by Thailand against Cambodia a few months ago.
I can't believe you unironically asked that question lmao.

@JoaodosReisAlb1: It lost 20 bids. You are free to read about why that happened. I don't need to do your homework for you.

@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Well to the extent that any customer has that concern, again, the Gripen uses an American engine.

@ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Strange for you to assume that there are relevant lessons to be learned from that very different situation. The HAF likes having a mixed fighter fleet, that's their prerogative; the RCAF and most other NATO air forces do not.
