Germany May Refuse F-35 Purchase over ‘Emergency Switch;’ Consider Eurofighter Instead
www.defensemirror.com
According to reports, a software back-door switch will turn the aircraft off if the client state does not follow Washington’s diktat in the use of the F-35.

I haven’t done adequate due diligence yet - could be inaccurate

I came across this article alleging that Germany is considering bailing on the F-35 aircraft because the US can remotely disable them.

If the US could do this to German F-35s, presumably they can do it to ours…

Additional reporting alleging concern in Canadian defence circles

    Are you telling me NSA is incapable of adding in a backdoor that would pass German/Canadian inspections? Zero day backdoors by definition are undiscovered

      That’s not what I said, at all.

      PS - I work in InfoSec (CISSP). Please tell me more about what I’ve been doing for past 20 years lol
