I did it and survived! He was distracted/enamored with the beautiful individual E39 M5 that was outside though

That's what he wants you to think!

You don't say.... :pokerface:

will you scream at him calling him a "fucking donkey" to the point your voice screeches high pitch and breaks ala gordon ramsey?

Don't bite on these tweets from nobodies ... if Trump says to Canada tomorrow, if you buy F35's from us, we'll get a trade deal done. You'll see F35's in Canadian AF.

the saab is just elbows up virtue signaling. Doesnt have the performance and incompatible with norad/nato.

It's more than just a trade deal we should be worried about. The US can brick the F35's any time they want.


But Sweden, Czech republic, and Hungary is a part of Nato and uses Gripen. If the US takes Greenland Nato is also over.

Is there any evidence or confirmation of this "USA can brick the planes" claim?

Or is that just online theory/speculation/fearmongering? I've never seen this actually confirmed anywhere, and I'd be pretty surprised if through that extensive procurement process and review Canada would just accept such a function. Even back in friendlier times. I don't really believe it, nor do I subscribe to the theory that "the USA wouldn't tell us if it had such a kill switch" We have smart people in our military that could sniff out such a thing if it existed. We were literally involved in it's development, Canadian companies supplied parts.

I think the actual weakness is simply that the USA could giving us support/parts to keep them airworthy, but that's still a problem with the Gripen which uses american made GE engines...

We simply can't trust the US right now. The plane has 8 million lines of code they could easily install a back door without us knowing.

Manic! pulling things out of his arse again.

The Saab Gripen is supposed to support austere bases, and have better rough field capabilities than the F35s. So you can land and take off from highways and such. It's probably be a better choice for the North. F35s need the whole support system to maintain the stealth etc.

It's chatgtp.

Why Israel the only country allowed to be fully independent?

Based on what I've gathered from main stream media, the "kill switch" thing is a theoretical possibility, and of course the US / Lockheed Martin will deny that. On the other hand, a very real problem with the F35 is -- it requires a vast amount of manufacturer support for its continual operation. And if any country gets into a poor enough relationship with the US (esp one under Trump), then it is not at all a far fetched idea that the US would impose trade / service / technical support restrictions on Lockheed Martin to continue providing those support. Even not being able to update software / firmware to the on-board computer systems could jeopardize the proper operation of the aircraft.

The US will destroy all our F35 before they even get pulled out of the hangar so who cares about this theoretical bricking. All our airbases are paved even the ones in the arctic. We dont need gravel performance.

Trump admin will come and go but buying the wrong fighter due to elbows up sentiment is a poor decision. Leave the defence to the experts.

While not the same as defence industry, in my industry (TMT) there is always a kill switch.

Whether it is used or not is a different story. In my professional experience, I have only had to use it once. The results can be catastrophic and can bring a country on its knees.

Yeah totally this lol. All that tech's proprietary as hell and without continued support you'd be hosed.

Also, agreed that a backdoor is brain-dead simple to implement and should just be assumed.

Ya I'd say the whole backdoor argument is pretty irrelevant, it's the parts, software, and support is the liability there. The US could inflate the cost of parts, or refuse to sell said parts whatsoever.

Frankly it's depressing we're even at that point to have such considerations, I wouldn't never imagined that in my lifetime.

BRB backdoor shutting down RevScene.net

US can't brick their F35s, but China will brick every BYD Dolphin if we let them in right?
