- Canada is buying Saab’s GlobalEye early-warning radar planes (built on Bombardier’s Global 6500) instead of U.S. options.
- The deal emphasizes domestic production—Bombardier-built aircraft with promised Canadian work and about 20% U.S. content.
- The planes boost Arctic surveillance and situational awareness, and reflect Canada’s push to diversify military suppliers (NATO is also eyeing the Saab).
