Confirmed today, new F-35's coming to Canada.
Super Hornets would have been cheaper, they aren't a true 5th generation fighter but really do we need cutting edge?
I also heard that exported F-35's are going to lack the stealth paint and other things vs. the US versions. Anyone know any good info on that?

Theater commanders want one kind of F-35 to go to war for a coalition so that battle planning is made easier. Having three different stealth profile F-35s in a coalition war environment limits the kind of high threat targets that a mixed bag of F-35 stealth signatures can go against and reduces the combat effect of the force
