Well, if Ukraine and Canada both smoothly move towards building Gripen production it actually makes it safer for both parties as the strategic benefit of destroying a bottleneck in one country or the other goes down when the partner country can step in and assist for the duration it takes to repair the bottleneck.
This is how the strategic element of involving Canada would strengthen both Ukraine and Canada. It pays for both countries to have a full vertical stack of production capacity across the world from each other, it is just basic ‘don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ thinking.
Canada is a relatively stable country that is highly educated and in most senses democratic, it makes a lot of sense to desire to have full production capacity there from a Ukrainian perspective in my opinion for a multitude of reasons but idk it is complicated and I from neither country so I am just giving a perspective here.
Let’s do Canada next!
