Let's get serious about fighter aircraft. The AVRO Arrow was crushed by the American defense industry. Politically. Not by technical merits. Let us rectify the situation. Imagine a Mach 5.1 aircraft. With full armaments and a full set of hardpoints. Nobody else is taking on the SU-35. The F-35 is going to lose 2-1 or worse every single time.

A Mach 5.1 fighter? I’m sensing a problem already with the specification...

The Arrow was a great aircraft, and it was crushed by the US administration. I think it good for Canada to have an organic fighter capablility.

The Arrow was an advanced fighter and the U.S. did ask the Canadians to scrap it because the company was absolutely full of Russian Spies.
I think the Mig 25 was probably built on the same general lines as the Arrow. It turned out to not be very practical despite it’s incredible speed.

Ask? It absolutely guaranteed that John Diefenbaker hated America for the rest of his life.

It wasn’t a one way deal. We gave Canada first class fighters to make up for the loss of the Arrow.
It also saved Canada a lot of money.

She has a 17m wing span and is designed for a multi-role platform. She is an interceptor first, fighter/bomber second and is also designed for close air support for our troops on the ground. I'm getting deja vu.

The skin was protected by the heat-dissipating tiles.

Negatory. Canada stood to make a huge incursion into the US Defense contractor cash flow and that was what killed the deal for them.
