The Canadian Air Force created the CF 100 Canuk, an in-house designed fighter interceptor, in response to this. The Canuk was a long-range all-weather interceptor with a sophisticated radar system that made its maiden flight on January 19, 1950.

Additionally, under the difficult zero visibility circumstances, NATO soldiers in Europe utilized it to defend the Western skies against Soviet strikes.
