RE: https://infosec.exchange/@littlealex/116076064920214380

Why do I suspect that Lockheed's reaction to foreign customers jailbreaking F-35s will be just as understanding and conciliatory as Apple's response to customers jailbreaking iPhones (only multiply severity of the reaction by 10,000 per unit for the price of the item they've just lost control of)?

Wild guess:

They'll try to swap them for a batch of the U.S.A.'s modern ones that don't work in combat and that have a brick where the radar is supposed to be. (-:
