Oh yeah! America has spent trillions of dollars on a jet that still doesn't work the way they want it to. Go F-22! Go wasteful spending!

Canada's contribution to stealth technology is painting a fake cockpit under the plane.

we can't go buying a whole fleet. We need that money for Healthcare
LostCause97
Does Canada even have an aircraft carrier though?
LostCause97
Serious question.
ifyoudontlikeitthenfuckyou
Don't need one. We go to other countries to help, not invade
LostCause97
Whatever the purpose, a carrier just increases efficiency by providing a closer place to refuel/rearm. Also, invasions happen on the ground.
ifyoudontlikeitthenfuckyou
know where else you can refuel/rearm? your own country, not the ocean around someone else
LostCause97
So, fly 6,000 miles (which you can't do in a fighter without refueling), launch your weapons, then fly back 6,000 miles to refuel? Smart.
ifyoudontlikeitthenfuckyou
why are you fighting 6,000 miles away?? Why fight? fuckin Peace yo
delpharseven
No.

I didn't think so. I mean, obviously the F-18 can take off from any runway, but it was designed as a naval aircraft. Why not an F-15?

The arrestor hook is used for emergency landings and aborted take-offs (an arrestor cable can be deployed near the end of the runway 1/

within seconds at the push of a button in the control tower). That and the more rugged landing gear are useful in a country with smaller 2/

F-15's were designed as interceptors. The F-18 are multirole. Hence their continuity.
LostCause97
That's a good point. Maybe I just love the F-15 too much.
delpharseven
Canada needs a multirole fighter, but with emphasis on interception. At the time, the F-15 was considered but was too expensive. The F-35 1/
