Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada has entered into negotiations to procure new Swedish radar planes for its military, as opposed to aircraft from two U.S. defence companies.
Canada is negotiating with Saab to buy its airborne early warning aircraft, GlobalEye, which will be used to detect enemy missiles, aircraft, and drones in the Arctic and beyond. The aircraft can track objects up to 650 kilometres away.
