[Kirkhill]

Ukraine will be flying more of them than the Swedes.

Any bets on them keeping the GE engine?

I don’t think the US will object. If they do, apparently Saab already has the french engine trialed.

It gets even better, Russia may be the one paying a chunk of the bill in the end.

Well I guess that answers the question as to how Sweden was funding their F-35 buys.
Win Win Win.

How do we get in on this?

How do we get in on this?

Take Russian frozen assets.
Donate Hornets to Ukraine ‘selling them for the Russian assets’, buy F-35’s.

Admittedly no one seems to know what Sweden is doing on its next fighter. It’s offered SAAB money for a next gen, is also exploring EuroFighter, and has overtures to LocMart for the F-35.

So Canada will buy Gripens to send to Ukraine, and stick with F18s.

Canada could build Gripens for Ukraine domestically(funded by frozen Russian assets)and fit them with the Orenda Iroquois engine.

We’re too busy building battery factories.
