Slater Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) So was this pretty much expected or a surprise? http://www.dsca.mil/sites/default/files/mas/canada_17-49_1.pdf Edit: Evidently there has been no formal request as of yet. This is some sort of "pre-approval" for an FMS sale (perhaps to speed a hoped-for sale?). Edited September 12, 2017 by Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Totally stupid idea, it was expected because our PM isn't the brightest light bulb in the box. He has steadfastly said he is going to cancel the F-35 program. Yet it was a Liberal government that put us into the program and elevated our level of partnership. Canada has invested a lot of money into the F-35. To set-up a training program for only 18 jets is very costly. We don't even have the EW officers for the back-seat. It isn't a role or a military occupation we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
