What Hype is tracking

  • Saab’s offer would place production, final assembly and parts of the Gripen’s long-term support in Canada, with CAE, IMP Aerospace and Magellan Aerospace assigned local roles.
  • The proposal is conditional on Ottawa selecting the Gripen; the articles describe a competing fighter procurement choice, not a contract award or an established production program.
