On top of that, at a cost of about 100 million US per copy, which is fairly close to the F-35 in pure per unit costs, but by the time you add transition, training, changing infrastructure, operating costs you'll end up paying just as much for a inferior plane, that is basically a air to air interceptor with poor to limited ground capability. It was not designed for that. As well its sensor suite and interoperability is poor compared to the F-35.

But it won't matter, Trudeau isn't going to do anything to replace the CF-18 properly equip the forces.

More to the point.
