Maybe mexico will. Here is their current fighter plane
I think f35 got a bit too much bad reviews in the past so people start to lose faith in it
>>77038484
Why would you they're shit. Pic related or nothing.
>>77038484
F-18 Super Hornet is our plane too
trudeau hates killing his enemies. in fact he has no enemies except those who refuse to accept the current year.
he will destroy them
not that great of a plane is all, f-35 is jack of all trades, master of none
>>77039076
JUST
>>77040167
atleast we have a mutual understanding of the king of canada.
>>77039448
Actual potential customers for the F-35 couldn't give less of a shit about some inaccurate/outdated "news" articles bashing the aircraft.
They don't get the same sales pitch the public does.
Dudeweedlmao if i'm not mistaken promised to not buy the F-35 during his campaign so hes just trying to keep to that useless campaign promise.
>>77038484
Actually this pisses me off. Weed man says they don't like the F35's, so they didn't make a payment they owed the program. Yet when it comes to Canada's weapons deal with Saudi Arabia, he said we have to go through with giving them $15 billion in arms because Canada has to be honorable and stick to our deals.
>>77039448
That's exactly the issue, it's a meme now.
>>77038484
budget is needed for state-issued cuck sheds
>>77040022
F-18 has two engines. Which is, you know, kinda useful if you're over the arctic a long way from base and one engine fails.
>>77038484
Having a airforce of fucking paper airplanes are more capable than that thing.
plane is a strong word.
>>77040956
Regarding modern jet engines if one engine fails they tend to fail violently taking the other with it.
Also modern engines are so reliable now that the biggest issue with reliability is human maintenance, and maintaining one engine is easier and less prone to mistakes than two.
Who does canada need the F-35?
Serious question, who is Canada going to fight that they need the F-35.
Yes the F-35 is a better plane than the Super Hornet, but the F/A-18E/F will only have a lifetime cost of 70-80% of what the F-35 will cost, assuming same number of planes for 50 years.
>>77039076
LMAO
Also, is Trudeau wanting a literal Annexation from us? Does he just NOT want an army in place at all?
>>77042466
Most countries signed contracts before production began, once lockheed started setting up factories, the hundreds of issues with the aircraft started becoming public and public outrage began. We do not need this plane, we need dual engine fighters due to our vast and sparcely populated territory, but as per usual, geopolitics are not about if you need the plane, rather how much they can make off it and who gets to open factories for production.
Btw the plane is techincally ineffective, russian fighters can detect and take it down as it stands
>also the absolutely retarded idea of having a single aircraft for navy, air force and marines
Its a legitimate business move to not buy them

Source?
>also the absolutely retarded idea of having a single aircraft for navy, air force and marines
Yeah man, I can't believe we used the F-4 Phantom, totally a mistake.

Also the f4 was used in conflict and had deployment problems due to vietnam weather, your own pentagon has agreed that a single multi purpose aircraft was a mistake
>source
Google it fatty
>>77044271
Which is why no other country adopted the F-4 as its frontline fighter for decades.
Oh wait.
Also your tabloid source didn't include anything to back up the claim that "russian fighters can detect and take it down as it stands."
