Canada needs a replacement for our aging CF-18 fighter jets. The five top contenders are:
-the Eurofighter Typhoon
-the Rafale
-the JAS39 Gripen E
-the F/A-18 Super Hornet
-the F-35 Lighting II

In the research paper I wrote, I make a case why the Gripen E makes the most sense for Canada. The Eurofighter is a fantastic fighter, but too expensive. The Rafale is also exceptional, but is expensive to operate and is designed for French munitions. The Super Hornet is antiquated and offers little improvement over the current CF-18s. The F-35 is too expensive and under performing.
