Canada’s $27.7 billion F-35 acquisition is facing renewed scrutiny following reports from classified Arctic evaluations indicating the aircraft completed only a portion of assigned northern missions, while Sweden’s JAS 39 Gripen demonstrated significantly higher availability in extreme cold-weather operations.
As Arctic security competition intensifies, questions are resurfacing over whether the F-35’s sustainment model, cold-weather performance, and dependence on U.S.-controlled software, upgrades, and mission data systems align with Canada’s sovereignty and long-term defense requirements. The comparison has also drawn attention within NATO, where operating environments range from high-infrastructure bases to remote, austere regions similar to Canada’s north.
This debate highlights a broader strategic divide between stealth-centric fifth-generation fighters and smaller, logistics-efficient aircraft optimized for dispersed operations in harsh climates.
