lmao it absolutely has kill switches. And I all but guarantee they go beyond the already onerous ecosystem and software demands.

I'd wager some of the kill switches go below software and are hardwired in at the chip level.

Killswitch, definitely not.

The ability to upload a software patch that bricks the plane, maybe. The critical question will be whether the owner of the F-35 can control (i.e. block) software updates, and also whether there's a software backdoor to allow access in.

I'd give it better than a 50% chance of being accessible.
