Canada deserves a few Gripen in our Air Force. Sweden has said we could hold the technology in house.

bookgal4757.bsky.social•10 days ago

The US government does not care about our NATO, so they have the right to take care of themselves!

markolo65.bsky.social•10 days ago

While I kinda understand...I am also so sad that we humans still resort to this. It is almost like we need a hostile alien invasion to realize we are on the same side.

todbadass2.bsky.social•9 days ago

But then we all die, so a bit of a double-edged sword.

twisiamanda.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sending love to you, Sweden!! 🇨🇦💕🇸🇪

rickhidi.bsky.social•10 days ago

Excellent !

burkie75.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you Sweden!❤️🇸🇪

fertnig.bsky.social•10 days ago

We need Gripens.

madksd.bsky.social•10 days ago

That does my heart good.

justme113.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you Sweden 🇸🇪

grandmasr.bsky.social•10 days ago

Great start

esnowden.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s nice to see others stepping up to the plate and ignoring Trump’s bullshit.

tea2opals.bsky.social•10 days ago

.. doing what Donny-boy won't, protecting democracy against his tyrant buddy. 👏👍

rogerjbell.bsky.social•10 days ago

I like the idea of tooling up to build Gripens in Canada which was apparently part of Saab's bid. Could we enhance production capacity and supply other NATO nations too?

captcanuckles.bsky.social•10 days ago

These are the jets that we should have our eye on imo.

gji-nigig.bsky.social•10 days ago

the problem with acquisition in Canada, is our Defence procurement has too many layers and players involved. @cdnpoli.bsky.social how'd the F35 even come into play ? RCAF leadership is braindead

captcanuckles.bsky.social•10 days ago

I agree. Not the smartest folks buying our military hardware.

alynnkolstar.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yay Sweden!! Excellent news!

erulux.bsky.social•10 days ago

Way cool! Love ya, Sweden! 🇨🇦🇸🇪

calgarycanuck.bsky.social•10 days ago

Send a few over that US base in Greenland.

jellyfrog23.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tack så mycket, Sverige! ❤️ 🇸🇪

sfdave49.bsky.social•10 days ago

Canada should scrap the F35 contract, use the ones we've paid for until they stop and get Saab Gripens assembled and maintained by Canadians in Canada

cactusjackpine.bsky.social•9 days ago

34 said the US is selling damaged goods to "allies".

sfdave49.bsky.social•9 days ago

Of course! They get the new stuff and claim they're sending big ticket items, like Ukraine. It's a way to upgrade at someone else 's expense

cactusjackpine.bsky.social•9 days ago

No. Not what I'm referring to. 34 said that the US will sell dumbed down versions of weapons systems to "allies" because "they may not be our allies."

madgreek2024.bsky.social•10 days ago

Best NATO jets out there! Better than any American jet. Can also land in the street! Ukraine needs some of these to fight the Russians.

ottawaphil.bsky.social•10 days ago

They are lovely birds. I'd like to see if they can be introduced to Canadian skies. Sweden does know our climate.

bfletch59.bsky.social•10 days ago

Farout,thanks sweden👊✌️

peterd56.bsky.social•10 days ago

We should have bought those. They would have been made in Canada. It could have been the start of a long, meaningful, productive relationship with our European allies on defence issues and manufacturing.

curtisma.bsky.social•10 days ago

Everyone should buy Gripen jets from Sweden.

jel23.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you Sweden! Can you also send some our way to patrol Canada’s southern border?

coautonomous.bsky.social•9 days ago

These are cool and all, but the future is drones.

kstroopwafel.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m glad they’re patrolling where the real threat is.

cowboycat13.bsky.social•10 days ago

Anybody who thinks that these Jets aren’t as good as US made has never ridden in a Volvo! ❤️🇸🇪💩🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

briannelson2024.bsky.social•10 days ago

So proud of Sweden in a time where real heroes fight fascism to protect democracy from billionaire oligarchs.🇸🇪Sweden put their elbows up to!Great hockey players are from Sweden also.
