So can we have discussion about #AUKUS which could also be switched off if we don't comply with US.
@Godfrey642 Any F-35s alreadly delivered need complete replacement computers both hardware and software. They cannot be trusted. Such a plane could easily be programmed to deliberately crash on takeoff and disable the ejection seat. That's a real bad day for whoever's flying it.
@LukefromDC
Absolutely true.
In fact similar applies to ALL American hardware: tanks boats subs helicopters all need regular updates and software (some as much as once a week) in order to function. Buying the stuff is only the start.
Ppl just don't realise that the delivery of the hardware is not the end of the story. How can any govt buy equipment from Trump who's clearly gone rogue and defected to the other side ?
@Godfrey642 I don't accept anything into my life with a closed source processor unless it can run until something mechanical breaks without ever being updated or talking to its maker. This means no Internet of Things and keeping things like drones and printers off the Internet.
