  1. There was never any doubt Canada would go F-35
    39
  2. In 2015, the F-35A price was 102 Its currently 77
    8
  3. Development is very long expensive process which most countries dont want You need engine development, air frame and avionics thats just too time consuming for most

  4.  @TheeYellowDart  The factor here is that Canada doesnt have time Now if they want while they are working on the F-35 contract, this would be a fine time to get the ball rolling on building up their capability to do so so for the F-35s eventually replacement , it would be a made in Canada aircraft but at the same time 6th generation aircraft are the most technological complex aircraft Granted the US makes it look easy but they have the money to do so well as Area 51 ,plus giants like Lockheed, Boeing, and Northrop
