Showroom7561 ( @Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ) 29•26 days agoMajor maintenance, overhaul and software upgrades on the F-35 happen in the United States.
Fuck that. You want the enemy working on your military equipment?
Make up the money we already paid in some other fee, like a 200% tax on electricity exported from Ontario, and then buy European jets.
wise_pancake ( @wise_pancake@lemmy.ca ) 28•26 days agoThe Saab value proposition is so much higher it’s insane.
Relying on sending our planes to the US for major maintenance and software updates should have always been a deal breaker.
TheFeatureCreature ( @TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca ) English24•26 days agoExcellent news.
Buying expensive (and compromised) military hardware from the country that is literally threatening war on us is, to put it mildly, beyond stupid.
I hope the US military industrial complex appreciates just how badly Trump has screwed them. No country that truly respects their own sovereignty will purchase American weapons again.
RandAlThor ( @RandAlThor@lemmy.ca ) 19•26 days agoCancel the order, buy a European jet and have them built here.
Sunshine (she/her) ( @Sunshine@lemmy.ca ) 16•26 days agoDump the compromised hardware!
humanspiral ( @humanspiral@lemmy.ca ) 1•25 days agoreturn existing jets for refund. They are crap, and require Lockheed authentication for every flight. Cancel without penalty payment.
