Realistically. The more you make the more you’ll get taxed. So not worth it unless it’s very low effort.
Like day trading or investing or sitting at a gas station

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.

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...

Soft Bricking" via Logistics (ALIS/ODIN)
The F-35 is often called a "flying supercomputer" and relies heavily on a centralized U.S.-managed network formerly called ALIS (Autonomic Logistics Information System), now being replaced by ODIN (Operational Data Integrated Network).

Operational Dependence: This system manages everything from parts orders to mission planning. If the U.S. were to sever a country’s access to these servers, the fleet would rapidly become "paperweights" due to a lack of spare parts and critical software updates.
Mission Data Files (MDFs): These are essentially "electronic battle manuals" required for the jet to identify targets and navigate stealthily. These files are typically hosted and updated by the U.S.; without them, the jet’s combat effectiveness is severely degraded.
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.

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.

Recent revelations about U.S. policy restrictions on F-35 operations add a new layer to the debate. According to the 350th Spectrum Warfare Group’s F-35 Program Support Cell, international F-35 operators “are not allowed to conduct independent test operations outside of the Continental United States (CONUS) based on U.S. policy. United States Government (USG) security rules and National Defense Policy (NDP) require that U.S. citizens perform specific functions in order to protect critical U.S. technology.”

This policy, detailed on the U.S. Air Force website, underscores the U.S.’s tight grip on the F-35’s advanced systems, limiting foreign operators’ ability to test or modify the aircraft independently. For NATO allies like Italy, Germany, and the UK, this restriction heightens concerns about operational sovereignty, especially as they rely on the F-35 for critical missions, including nuclear deterrence.

By the way, as of now, Israel is the only country permitted to operate a fully independent system for its F-35I Adir.
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.
