According to this brochure from SAAB:
GE Aviation will provide and sustain the fighter’s engines in Canada.
But that's from 2021, so maybe the current proposal is for a US made engine.
This from 2026 says:
The Gripen E is based on an American engine (F414). This means dependencies on licenses and authorizations. In a context of sovereignty, this is a point that needs to be addressed, not circumvented.
I wonder if a Canadian or European made engine is still possible. I guess anything is, at some a cost.
Investing in any aircraft with critical components controlled by Canada's greatest current threat seems a poor strategy.
