 Engines not included in Canada's $29B fighter jet deal The multimillion-dollar F-35 stealth fighter the Conservatives want to purchase comes with all the accoutrements of a high-tech aircraft — everything except an engine.Commentsview comments in forum You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

Is it typical for aircraft purchases to include the engines?
Harper is sticking with his original numbers, and claims we can buy these things cheaper than anybody else on the planet. Including the engine and missiles.
Harper says F-35s won't cost more
Of course the contempt ruling was partially about having lied about this.
But I guess this is no big deal!
Yeah... add this to the list. Good thinking going into defending this good deal.
What really shock me is the hypocrisy of canadian on this matter. This deal reak corruption, the number are in the Billions, yes Billion$ with an S for plurals!!
But I guess this is no big deal!
Try again. This post makes no sense.
Hypocrisy? Where?
Corruption? Where?
Fighter jets costing billions? Really?
The sun is hot too, eh.
This tells me that the F35 is not a true stealth aircraft. Engines play a vital roll in stealth technology. Have a look at the engines on the F22, the only true stealth fighter on the planet. The Americans won't sell the F22, to anyone, this is a red flag in itself. This F35 deal wreaks of warranty issues and court battles.
Scrap this deal and buy the super hornet, or build our own.

I guess I need to draw you a picture.
Huge No bid contract for a plane that is not even in production, that the technical detail are still unknown, That the final cost are still unknown.
Why would an honest politician take such huge risk with the public money???? Are we under attack by a foreign superpower??? No The risk is to great I do not believe this is legit. And I do not believe the Government of Canada is of good faith.
Hypocrisy yes, this story is treated by the canadian media like an after thought.
Just to put this story in perspective the sponsorship scandal involve 50 million dollars. this is in the Billion$ but hey I guess it's no big deal!
Yeah, but Tamara Lorincz is a left winger with an anti-military bias, or maybe an anti-military with a left wing bias, can never keep that straight. So you can't take anything she says at face value. Not like the honest and true people in DND and the Harper govt, who would never lie.
Yeah, but they weren't her documents.
They're from the left-wing anti-military Defense Department.

Are you talking about the F-35 or the federal transfer payments to Quebec?
I guess I need to draw you a picture.
For the last time, NO MORE DUCEPPE PORTRAITS
But anyways....as much as I lauded these new F-35's as the best replacement for our CF-18's, I'm beginning to think that we could get double the number of planes if we used the money on Super Hornets instead. At least we already have Hornet parts and the pilots wouldn't need much (if any) additional training.
