Buying an F-35 is a lot like buying a Tesla. Buyers are locked into an ecosystem with complicated software that’s required to operate the vehicle.

    Yeah, what’s easier?

    1. Developing a kill switch that can’t be discovered and used against the States… somehow
    2. Not servicing parts.

    Probably 2.

      Yup! Also, Chinese intelligence work is insane - the chances that America could keep a kill switch out of Chinese hands is so vanishingly thin that anyone with a brain would prefer that such a kill switch didn’t exist so it couldn’t be used against the US.
