There are 2 very crucial technologies in F-35 panoramic cockpit display and its missile remote interface unit.
Panoramic cockpit display provides F-35 pilot with situational awareness and it helps the pilot track multiple targets in passive radar mode means when the jet is stealth and using radar feed from other sources in the area.
Missile remote interface unit
Now we all know F-35 keeps it's missile payload in internal bay and the capacity of that internal bay is not much hardly 2 missiles in each bay. If the missile pay load is carried on wings then the jet is no more stealth. With missile remote interface F-35 utilizes the missiles carried by other jets under its command and sends them on targets. Without missile remote interface F-35 loses its force multiplier concept and becomes a limited mission jet means going back to the age 4.5 gen.
My point bringing this up was that as USA has sanctioned Turkey and is delaying the jets Turkey can delay the whole project with years of halt to it as both of the above mentioned technologies are not US tech but Turkish tech and Turkish company Ayesas is the sole provider of this technology and it will take USA years to research the tech and integrate it with F-35. Although Turkey produces many components of F-35 but the 2 mentioned tech are totally Turkish based and no other country has them.
The news is already out and the words is spreading and I think Turkey plans to retaliate with this as this will damage F-35 most and Russia and China are offering Turkey a lot for these technologies and US might lose the 5th gen war with Russia and China because of these F-35 delays.
