New Canadian Fighter Plan

摘要

Competition for a future Canadian fighter jet will begin in 2019 with plans to award a contract by 2021 or sooner. The Royal Canadian Air Force will seek 88 fighters to replace its current inventory of 76 CF-188 Hornets, which are approaching the end of their useful lives. Although Canada is an international participant in the Joint Strike Fighter programme, it has yet to make a commitment to purchase the aircraft and the government plans an open competition.
