Clash Report @โ @โclashreport: 1h X
BIG: Dutch Defence Minister Gijs Tuinman
hints that software independence is
possible for F-35 jets.He literally said you can โjailbreakโ an
F-35.When asked if Europe can modify it
without US approval:โThatโs not the point... weโll see whether
the Americans will show their true colors.โby
And then he dropped this:
โI'm going to say something I should never
say, but I'll do it anyway. Just like your
iPhone, you can jailbreak an F-35. I won't
say more about it.โSource: BNR Nieuwsradio Podcast

@Zamfr @toxomat Not quite true. Some of the develepment as well as production of the F-35 took place in the EU. Some parts are build in Europe.
Additionally, airplanes, especially military airplanes, are constantly upgraded and a lot of development goes into this. There is a lot of experience in aircrafts, avionics and other related stuff in the EU.

Yes, I know. But there is no more experience, neither personal or institutional, in running an entire project. That comes with a great risk that a project spins out of control, unable to meet the exlected capabilities, costs and timelines
until it gets cancelled.Imagine the F35 project with its setbacks, but now run by people who never did that before, and the costs divided among multiple distrusting governments, who also have no experience managing such a project...

I think there are organizastion capable of handling such a project in Europe, like Airbus. The biggest but are the politicians and their interests. I am sure they will be able to slow down or even completely break the most capable actor.

This comes across as a pretty idiotic statement as it suggests there is a way to own an F35 in a way you can own an iPhone by jailbreaking it. Just as if these high-bred killing machines would not rely on distributed complex physical logistics and intelligence networks.
You Don't Need A Kill Switch To Hobble Exported F-35s
The U.S. doesn't have to rely on a kill switch to rapidly degrade and soon end a foreign country's ability to use its F-35s.

@toxomat After a jailbreak they'd obviously need to replace some of the software , or at least data for mapping/targeting/EW. Not easy, so they better have already started preparing. @littlealex

@ryan @littlealex
Bravo -
@ryan @littlealex I would. If I had the skillset and access to an F-35. Given the regime in power where the F-35 comes from, it would be idiotic not to. Or they could continue to pretend Trump is their friend until he pulls something and they find their planes bricked. Thatโs a choice too.

That's far from obvious! The FCAS project is collapsing, which seems driven by the belief of Dassault and the French government that working with Airbus is only delaying the project. The German government is buying additional F35s (and rumours about joining gcap) suggesting that they are not convinced either.Note that Airbus-the-aircraft-manufacturer is not involved much. They got burned on the a400m and dont want more. Its their missile subsidiary mostly

@frlan @schnedan @littlealex Humans aren't capable of it.
@drwho @schnedan @littlealex A human that is not able to live in peace shall not own a fighter jet.

@Zamfr It's hard to do arms projects with Germany, not so much because of production delays but because export control is so fierce - you'll have a much harder time recouping your costs by selling to random backwater dictatorships when that needs to go through parliamentary approval.
As such, it's in Dassault's interest to get more of the project on their side, both immediately (more project money spent on them rather than German partners) and long-term (all those additional deals), and the French government would like to keep the current investment split while getting a larger piece of the pie, too.
Of course that changes the economics for Germany, which agreed to some workload / investment split under the assumption that the German public money going into the project will prop up its own industry to a given degree.
I guess the weird thing is that other countries still try to co-develop weapons with Germany

@littlealex That guy should be shot for saying what he did. Cancelled a big advantage that we might have had.

@littlealex Glad to hear it! So annoying they have to be connected up to iTunes any time they are just out the box or need a hardware reset ๐คช

@toxomat .. or do like the russians, duct-tape a Garmin to the cocpit-window. @littlealex

@littlealex sure. A thing where if you even daydream about making the colour one panel one shade lighter and they'd decertify the lot could be jailbroken as long as you enjoy redoing the lot.

Maybe, and this is going to sound absolutely nuts, but maybe if we just rounded up all of the elite negative social entities, like psychos, child rapists, and other shitty things, and I mean people who make the world far worse factually and in the eyes of most actual people, we could, especially if we sent them to space, where they could be bombarded with loneliness and radiation, we might be able to live without the jets. Maybe.

Hell No, then we can fly em for fun!

Wow, how did I miss the FUN?
Imagine THAT world.
You're definitely not going to space, man!

@drwho I'd contest that. but maybe not all humans. If you leave regular people alone, without propaganda and lies, they will come together.just fine. That's my experience.
@Tamtam That has not been mine.
