Canada joins UK-Italy-Japan sixth-generation fighter jet programme as observer
Canada has been admitted as an observer nation to the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), a joint initiative led by the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan. The programme is focused on developing a next-generation stealth fighter jet, with a target delivery date of 2035. As an observer, Canada will gain privileged access to the programme's developments without being a full member. This marks the first expansion of GCAP since it was formally launched in 2022. The move is seen as a step by Canada to broaden its defence partnerships beyond its traditional reliance on the United States.
