Canada se alătură proiectului britanico-italiano-japonez privind avioanele de vânătoare, cu statutul de țară observatoare

Canada has joined the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) as the first observer country, enhancing supply chains among medium powers. The UK Ministry of Defence announced this decision, emphasizing the importance of deterrence and readiness for combat alongside allies. Canada will gain direct access to GCAP information, including development and industrial collaboration, although it will not have a decision-making role. The sixth-generation fighter aircraft aims to maintain air superiority using advanced technologies and is expected to support thousands of jobs in the UK, backed by significant government investment.
