Gripen for #canada made it to the full Upgrade surprising everyone.- European jet or American jet ?

Everyone was surprised at the fact that the Swedish #Gripen-E reached the final cut. This was a major event, especially after Boeing was told that he had not reached the final stage. Currently, the only American fighter, the Lockheed Martin #F35, remains in the race.

Two other European manufacturers also withdrew from competition before the competition began, claiming that the government's situation favored competition in favor of American competitors.

Both Airbus and Dassault have expressed dissatisfaction with the difficult criteria for upgrading aircraft to meet the Royal Canadian #AirForce's information sharing requirements (Eurofighter and Rafale, respectively).

This adds a new dimension to the race, as Canada's choice of American or Swedish fighters is believed to reveal much about the country's defense policy and its future aspects.

It is important to note that Canada is a member of the North American Aerospace #Defense Command (NORAD), which is entrusted with North American Aerospace Defense Command, Aerospace Control, and Maritime Warning tasks. This raises an important question-will Canada break away from American influence in favor of European fighters?

Canada has been operating American-designed fighters for over half a century. If you decide to buy #Saab #Gripen, that will be a major change in that policy. In the 1940s, the Royal Canadian Air Force operated the British fighter Spitfire.

The Spitfire played a major role during World War II. However, the British De Havilland Vampire, a fighter that was abolished in the late 1950s, was the last non-American-designed aircraft operated by Canada.

The Spitfire, which first flew in 1936, became the most iconic British fighter in World War II. More than any other British fighter, 20,000 to 30,000 aircraft were produced.

It was a symbol of British resistance during that gloomy summer of 1940. The cockpits of all Spitfires, whether driven by Rolls-Royce Marlin or Griffon, are nearly identical and very compact.

Supermarine Ltd.'s Reginald Mitchell manufactured the Spitfire in compliance with the Air Force Department's 1934 request for a high-performance fighter with eight 0.303-inch (7.7 mm) machine guns mounted on its wings. Delivery to the Royal Air Force (RAF) began in the summer of 1938 with outstanding flight performance and quality.

The 1,030 horsepower Marlin engine powers variants of the Spitfire that fought in the Battle of Britain. The aircraft has a wingspan of 36 feet 10 inches (11.2 meters), a length of 29 feet 11 inches (9.1 meters), a maximum speed of 360 miles per hour (580 kilometers per hour), and a ceiling of 34,000 feet (10,400)
The Spitfire was dispatched to attack German fighters because it was faster and more manoeuvrable than its German enemy, the Bf 109. The Spitfire showed higher altitude performance. very good. Better.

The Spitfire, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Gryphon engine that produces up to 2,050hp, was commissioned in late 1943. They were used to launch a V-1 "buzz bomb" with a top speed of 440 miles (710 km) and an altitude of 40,000. Feet (12,200 meters). ).

Spitfire was supplied to Portugal, Turkey and the Soviet Union in moderate numbers during World War II and was flown by the US Army Air Force in Europe.

March 1941, 1st squadron. The 403 was the first Royal Canadian Air Force squadron to fly Spitfire in a Canadian operation, with a total of 14 Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons eventually flying this type of aircraft.

Spitfire of the 1st squadron. The 401 shot down the first enemy jet, the German Me 262. Officially, the Royal Canadian Air Force had only a few Spitfires in stock during the war, even though numerous Spitfires were flown by Canadians.
