The Saab GlobalEye is based on the Bombardier Global 6500 airframe. Bombardier Aviation is a Canadian company.

For those who aren't aware, the Boeing E7 is yet-another-delayed-Boeing project.

The UK has bought it but it has been continually delayed: https://breakingdefense.com/2026/03/uk-defense-official-boei...

Australia flies it (an earlier version) but today announced they are also buying three Bombardier Global 6500: https://www.australiandefence.com.au/news/news/bombardier-de...
