Les négociations entre le Canada, Lockheed Martin et le gouvernement des États-Unis concernant l’achat de 88 avions furtifs F-35 progressent. À un point tel que la ministre de la Défense nationale, Anita Anand, laisse entendre dans une entrevue à La Presse qu’elle pourra annoncer de bonnes nouvelles « bientôt ».

Airbus , Dassault Aviation , Indra and the Eumet joint venture between Safran and MTU Aero Engines said on Friday they had won a 3.2 billion euros ($3.4 billion) contract for the next phase of the FCAS European fighter jet programme.

This landmark contract, amounting to € 3.2 billion, will cover work on the FCAS demonstrator and its components for about three and a half years 

The Gripens will become operational and officially part of the line-up of fighter jets belonging to the 1st Aviation Group.

Military adoption and deployment of drones has ballooned in recent years, with the Russia-Ukraine war pushing their use into the popular spotlight.

The decision is raising eyebrows given the West’s current tensions with Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine

CTO Jay Bonci said U.S. defense leaders "have to think about cloud as being a part of a resilience baseline."

The proposal to buy between eight and 12 P-8 Poseidon aircraft from Boeing in the U.S. is being examined, according to industry and defence sources. But whether it moves forward to cabinet still has to be decided.

Manufacturer Lockheed Martin is now set to seek local industry partners to help maintain the fleet later — if the base prep work gets done in time.
