remote kill switches built in?

1.Do military sell to foreign governments products that have remote kill switches built in?

 

[Mhmoud]

Yes. It's called logistics and supply lines. If you want to kill off a country's aerial capability, just cut off spare parts delivery. They'll be grounded in mere weeks.

 

[Śakra]

Yes. US jets in the Iraqi airforce were disabled during the 2003 invasion.

Iraq never had US jets at that time.. the F-16s came to Iraq quite recently..and limited in missile capabilities..

Software is some thing you have to buy with blind trust.

The problem can be hidden in hardware too, motherboards and so.. and mostly in locked parts in the avionics or other systems.. but this remote kill switch theory is still to be proven..although it is a possibility not to be neglected..

Probably because F-35 bought by Norway were found secretly transmitting Data to US.

Sure... i was being conservative, just not to invite wrath of non technical people..

Hence, indigenous men and machine, even if it's a hunting rifle or a crop duster under man with Iman and Ihlas like Major Aziz or MM Alam!!! Not even F-22s under Mujib or Hakkani type folks will earn you a dime....

Hi,

Yeah---the factory will send a rep to your place who will say---" hello sir--I am from the 'kill switch factory'---here is the proof of the 'kill switch' theory---just wanted to bring it to you to update you that the rest of the world knows it and you being the only one left out---I did not want you to be left in an embarrassing position of denial---".

 

[Azadkashmir]

so one should tick off USA as not to buy from.

what about china or Russia?

Hi buddy. long time no see.. how are you doing?
I have no proof of it, never heard any country complaining about it.. the only known devices of this sort are something like the car tracking devices using GPS.. or hacking the car's computers to control the car functions..We all have heard of it if that is what you referring to!
I think military electronic gear is much better protected.. but as I said the kill switch is still a possibility..not proven to be real yet.. so there is no denial or confirmation on my part, I am being rational with the known data about the subject.. If you can provide undeniable proof, I would love to be enlightened.. otherwise, I think it rather a very tiny minority of people who will believe this kill switch theory without any tangible proof..
All I know is that when you buy US gear, there are some parts that you do not have access to..unless you are Usrael or a NATO member.. and to get to those parts you need US technical presence..

Hi,

It is high time that people admit that---If there is a DATA LINK---then there is a kill switch somewhere embeded in it---it is simple as that.

If electronic gadgets in our daily lives can be hacked and taken over by the manufacturer / random people---

Then why could sophisticated weapons that are data linked not be controlled by their manufacturers.

I do understand that, the only problem is that these manufactures can control their toys only on a local basis.. US ones in the US only for example.. The real problem for jets with data links my friend come from powerful jammers of EW/ECM suites..look for the US most recent Electronic pods or the one(s) being worked on, to get some insight on what I consider the real problem for Data Links or any other electronic, communication and cyber links..Every major country I know of is trying to secure these Links first and foremost..
