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.

Following Portugal, Canada is also considering abandoning American fighters

The new head of the Canadian government, Mark Carney, has ordered a review of the country's contract with the American defense corporation Lockheed Martin for the supply of F-35 fighters. This was reported by the Bloomberg agency, citing a representative of the country's Ministry of Defense. According to him, a few hours after taking office, he instructed the Minister of National Defense William Blair to review the contract and determine "whether it is the best investment for Canada in its current form, and whether there are other options that could better meet Canada's needs." According to the agency, Carney's decision was "a new twist in the dispute between the two countries" after US President Donald Trump imposed customs duties on Canadian imports in early March.
According to Bloomberg, Lockheed Martin won the tender for the supply of F-35s in 2023, beating out the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing and the Swedish concern Saab. The deal involved the delivery of 88 fighter jets to Canada for a total of C$19 billion (US$13.2 billion).

Interesting is the Jewish software on F-35.
