Very nice. It was always impressive that Sweden could make their own Fighter Aircraft.

Despite the extended Range, does it meet the Canadian Forces Range requirements?

Sweden:
A population of 9 million;
A GDP of $400 billion;

Canada:
A population of 33 million;
A GDP of $ 1.5 trillion;

Tell me again why the Swedes can do this and we cannot?

I'm kinda curious where they got the price of the F-35...I have a somewhat older report on what to replace the Hornet and I think the price they stated is kinda excessive. Of course I don't have access to a "recent US government report"

The good question is not can we do it? but should we do it?

Thats not a good question. We need to design the Arrow MKII.

Sweden should be a model for Canada in many ways.
