As well, feels like ordering a F35 would be like ordering the best tires you can buy for a vehicle, but you can only afford 3. Meanwhile, you can get tires that will suit your needs (Gripen) for cheaper, and get the full set and a spare.

I would totally agree with that but I believe Canada has said they're buying the same amount of either. I would be on board with the Gripen more if it did mean we'd be buying more of them but doesn't look like that will be the case.
Politically, I just don't see how they choose the 39. Government just using this to try and squeeze a better deal out of the US
