The Royal Canadian Air Force is at a critical crossroads as the F-35A Lightning II faces a fresh challenge from the Swedish Saab Gripen E. Despite the F-35’s overwhelming 95% score in military capability evaluations, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s administration has placed the $30 billion deal under review, citing trade tensions with the U.S. and a desire for industrial "diversification." Major General Chris McKenna, Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division, has weighed in, warning that Canada faces a "fifth-generation threat" in the Arctic that requires the overmatch only a stealth platform can provide. While the F-35 dominates in sensors and interoperability with NORAD allies, the Gripen offers higher availability, lower maintenance costs, and the promise of a Canadian production hub. This video dives into the leaked scoring data, the political friction behind the review, and the military’s urgent plea for high-end capabilities to secure the North.
