We need new jets. Bombardier needs a defence component in their business. Saab's Gripen NG and Dassaults Rafale both need additional customers to stay in the long term game. Both have 100% industrial offsets and both have offered to set up manufacturing here. Going this route disentangles us to a degree from the U.S. and also allows us to develop in-house expertise. We've done it before. Let's do it again and say bye-bye Boeing.
