If everyone is afraid about an F35 kill switch than it is something more than speculation.

As I wrote before, if US can cut of a targeting system on a missile. What do you think, which capabilities they have on a strategic weapon like a F-35.

Well, as a person in the community that I respect once said "The world is becoming a one big Turkiye"

We are witnessing the subjects from 4-5 years ago brought up in European countries regarding F-35, and this honestly makes me think silently at this point.

and oh, India's S-400 is the cherry on the cake I guess, some tried to lynch me when I said that S-400 is not the real reason back in the day

Europe wants to act more independently from the US and is taking its steps and now trust issues have flared up, ring any bells?

If you ask me, I don't support being a part of the EU military but I view this situation as a chance to form a solidarity in military industry which will be beneficial for everyone. They have been asleep despite their vast resources while we have been scraping around with significantly less. Our will and their resources, it could be something to shoo the US influence. This is what Spain and Italy see and why they are eager for cooperation. Let's see who else boards the train.

The idea of a software defined kill-switch has always seemed dumb to me. If you "put" that on the jets, no amount of security will be able to protect you 100% from your adversaries' cyber-attacks. They would pluck your jets out of the sky at the click of a few buttons. Why would you take such risks when you could ground the aircrafts just by not supplying certain parts? I don't understand why people keep fixating on a supposed kill switch but not on safety of the supply-chain, which is certain and would ground your fleet in a few months at most.

And who would buy any American weapon once they pushed that "kill-switch"? It would literally be pushing the kill-switch of their defence export.

The answer is very easy. It’s all about timing. You can wait until the jets need spare parts, which could take times (weeks, months or years). Or you can do it immediately by the „backdoor“. Where only you have the access.
