痛点

从Hacker News讨论看,用户(评论者)的痛点并非直接来自采购流程本身,而是源于对盟友关系不可靠的担忧。评论指出,即使美国装备更优,依赖一个“任意对加拿大加征高关税、威胁武力吞并、暂停联合防务委员会”的所谓盟友存在巨大风险。这导致决策者面临两难:若继续采购美国装备,可能在未来关键时刻因政治摩擦而失去后勤支持或技术更新;若转向其他供应商,又需承担性能差异、交付周期和整合成本。这种不确定性造成了战略规划困难、长期成本不可控以及国家安全层面的心理负担。

I can understand why this change happened. Even if American equipment is superior, there is a lot of value to not depending on a supposed 'ally' which * Arbitrarily slapped high tariffs on all goods from Canada while exempting Russia and Belarus. * Threatened to take over the country by force. * Officially suspended the Permanent Joint Board on Defense between US and Canada because of criticism of US foreign policy by the Canadian PM

Boeing and Airbus have tremendous backlogs... >As of March 31st, 2026, Airbus reported a commercial aircraft backlog of 9,031 aircraft. Based on the company’s 2026 delivery target of 870 aircraft, this represents approximately 10.4 years of production coverage. >Boeing’s commercial backlog stood at approximately 6,719 aircraft at the end of March. Using Forecast International’s production estimates, Boeing’s backlog equates to roughly 10.1 years of production coverage. https://flightplan.forecastinternational.com/2026/04/14/airb...

In related news: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/05/21/italy-moves-to... I guess insulting and threatening your allies isn't great for arms sales.

It helps that the base plane is built in Canada, and that the PM made commitments to the Swedish king in November 2025.

The US doesn't even use the Wedgetail, and has cancelled and then un-cancelled it: https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/pentagon-e-7-wedgetail-...

Boeing’s E-7 Wedgetail plane – which has suffered from delays and cost overruns – had also been in contention.\n\n“With a suite of advanced sensors and mission systems, Saab’s GlobalEye will be a key resource for the Canadian armed forces to detect and deter threats across the Arctic,” Carney told a defense conference in Ottawa.\n\nThe prime minister pledged in March that Canada would take full responsibility for protecting its vast Arctic territory , after relying on decades on a partnership with the US to monitor its more than 4.4m sq km (1.7m sq miles) of land and sea, a territory larger than India.\n\nIn a statement, Saab said it planned to invest in research and development work in Canada as part of any deal.\n\nAlthough Carney did not give details of the f",
