2) Bombardier had already stated that they would be able to have a fighter jet ready for approval by that time.
3) most importantly it would evetually create another line of export revenue for Canada as I'm sure other countries would be interested in creating some space and less reliance on a country that is becoming a less a less reliable defense partner.
Many other countries, no bigger than ours have developed their own fighter jets.
In the past Canada has been lazy and has relied on the U S for everything. Look where that has gotten us. We have become a defacto colony of the US. Time in my opinion to step away and grow up.
1) The F35 is made by Lockheed Martin
not Boeing 2) The cost to design and develop the F35 is $485 Billion. Bombardier never said anything they could develop a fighter jet, they did talk about modifying the 6500 to add missles for anti submarine as part of their current Defence model plane. BBD would go broke developing a fighter jet, they spent $6 Billion developing the C series and nearing went broke
If I hear fighter jet and Bombardier I am instantly selling my shares
