Canada's Fighter Fleet at a Crossroads as Gripen Offer Grows

Canada’s plan to replace its CF-18s with an F-35 fleet is showing signs of collapse as Ottawa weighs Saab’s Gripen E/F offer, which includes thousands of local jobs and a domestic production hub, in a potential mixed‑fleet approach. The decision faces scrutiny over technology transfer, timelines, and NORAD implications, with a 2024 auditor review and ongoing U.S. readiness/diplomatic concerns adding to the uncertainty.

Saab pitches Canada-based Gripen hub to export beyond CF-18 replacement

Saab proposes a Gripen production hub in Canada large enough to supply the Canadian Air Force and export customers, with initial aircraft built in Sweden and later in Canada to reach about 36 planes per year. Ottawa is reviewing a mixed F-35/Gripen fleet after committing to 88 jets (16 ordered). Saab has touted up to 10,000 Canadian jobs and pledged local sustainment with Canadian partners, and signaled potential orders from Ukraine if the facility is established; the plan aligns with the company’s push for a "Made-in-Canada Fighter".

NDP urges Ottawa to scrap F-35 deal in favor of Saab Gripen

The NDP is pressing Prime Minister Carney to cancel Canada’s 16-jet order of U.S.-made F-35 fighters and switch to Saab Gripen, arguing the U.S. aircraft would deepen military integration with a superpower. Defence officials say procurement will serve Canadian needs and no final decision has been made as a review continues, all amid Trump-era threats to disrupt Western aircraft supplies and tariffs.

Canada’s Fighter Shuffle: Cutting F-35s While Embracing Gripen for Sovereignty and Jobs

Canada’s Fighter Shuffle: Cutting F-35s While Embracing Gripen for Sovereignty and Jobs

Ottawa is weighing a mixed fighter fleet that would trim the F-35A order by more than half, keeping as few as 40 jets and buying up to 80 Saab JAS-39 Gripen Es to boost sovereignty and create jobs (estimates around 12,600). The Gripen package focuses on industrial benefits and domestic aerospace links, while 16 F-35s are already obligated and 72 remain undecided as a review ordered by Prime Minister Carney proceeds. A mixed fleet is intended to preserve NORAD/NATO interoperability while diversifying partners away from Lockheed Martin, though no final decision has been made.
