I’ve seen a few articles now that US fighter jets have kill switches in them, so the US could just render them useless for anyone they’ve sold them to.
Is this true? It sounds insane to me, I’ve always assumed that countries that buy these jets have full control over them. It’s a gaping hole in your defence if you don’t.
Same way you can buy a car and it can be remotely disabled by the company that made the car if they want to.
Always online always connected products are never truly 100% yours to own and do with what you please.

I throw the Toyota Prius 2 card on the table, IT’S ON
If only it wasn’t one of the most hideous vehicles ever made.
