I’ve seen a few articles now that US fighter jets have kill switches in them, so the US could just render them useless for anyone they’ve sold them to.

Is this true? It sounds insane to me, I’ve always assumed that countries that buy these jets have full control over them. It’s a gaping hole in your defence if you don’t.

    I would think that any decent military would stockpile any spare parts they would need to 2 years.

    I understand if the supply stops they will eventually run out, but this is basic assurances that I’d think any military worth its salt would have in place when buying weapons.
