Military personnel guide a CF-18 Hornet into position at the CFB Cold Lake, in Cold Lake, Alta., on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014. The federal government says today it is giving fighter-jet makers another three months to submit their proposals for replacing Canada's aging CF-18s.Companies were to have submitted their bids at the end of March, but will now have until June.
Canada wants to buy 88 new fighter jets at an estimated cost of $19 billion, to replace the nearly 40-year old CF-18s. Two years ago Canada announced plans to invest more than $1 billion to keep the CF-18s in the air until 2032. Three planes are in the running to replace them including Lockheed Martin's F-35, Boeing's Super Hornet and Saab's Gripen.
Canada big joke
Bumbling fumbling politicians and their bureaucrat minions. Canada deserves better.
The Avro Bourdeau Aerospace CF105 5th generation modernization program, made in Canada by Canadians. This is the way for the future of our Country.
Remember when we scraped the 18 Boeing Super Hornet Jets because of the Bombardier commercial plane tariffs. Wonder how the liberal government feels about bombardier selling the division?
Think we’ve hit our limit of borrowing from the World Bank . Thank goodness 😅
FFS maybe at least buy used F22's well qualified for Canadas defense. F35 is useless to defend canadas boarders.
New fighter jets for what exactly?
