I'm more inclined to think the force is on to buy the F35. And recommit to ABCANZUS rather than the EU.

We just need the Chinese and Russians to keep stirring the pot more and more over the next 5-7yrs when some of the big decisions need to be met and we should be just fine. My fear is that they become dove-like during this time period and we buy the Gripen and don't replace the subs and waterdown the CSC's in numbers and capabilities and then we're boxed into a corner of being further sidelined to the kiddies table with the Kiwi's and others.

No heads rolled when Leonardo sued for the FWSAR project loss (and subsequent win). I doubt any will roll now.
Also, if it's a govt-to-govt spat, wouldn't LM (F-35) also be involved in that?

So Boeing will end up selling us more Chinooks? Or P8?

How's those Sopwith Camels look? Or maybe the Fokker Triplane aka the Red Baron plane is a better airframe?

Or, with Airbus getting the tanker contract, do they keep their powder dry and push Canada to extend the P8 line?

Which should surprise very few people, really.
I'm honestly surprised Saab is still in the running.

Until I see one with our roundel on it, I'm a skeptic.

If we offer them to improve their proposals, we can expect even more delays.
