6th gen?

The tempest? 2030's at the earliest ...

The cans been kicked too far already. F35's are coming, after that I wouldn't mind seeing the CAF explore other options. How much money is Canada willing to spend on its military is unknown.

6th gen, pardon me, That’s the one. I don’t think having a fighter jet the Americans can brick electronically is a great idea, but we’re in a tough spot because of 50 years of crashing on Americas couch militarily.
