Weekly insights and analysis on the latest developments in military technology, strategy, and foreign policy.
Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Maj. Gen. Chris McKenna knows more than just about anyone how F-35A Joint Strike Fighters will integrate into both the RCAF and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). He is the commander of 1 Canadian Air Division, operational commander for the Canadian NORAD Region (CANR) and the Canadian Joint Forces Air Component Commander. As such, it’s his job to figure out what to do with these fifth-generation fighters and how to provide the infrastructure they require.
Canadians Favour Gripen over F-35
[Ottawa – December 17, 2025] As the debate over Canada’s next-generation fighter jet continues, Canadians are leaning decisively away from an all-F-35 future.
When asked which option is best for Canada – the Lockheed Martin F-35 or the Saab Gripen – seven in ten Canadians (72 per cent) support incorporating the Gripen into Canada’s fighter fleet, either by switching to the aircraft for all future purchases (43 per cent) or by maintaining a mixed fleet of both Gripens and F-35s (29 per cent). Just one in eight (13 per cent) say Canada should continue with the F-35 as its primary fighter jet.
It is interesting to note that only 12 per cent of respondents were unsure or declined to answer. This finding suggests that Canadians – while not necessarily fluent in all the technical details – are following the issue and forming opinions.
