    The performance metrics are criticisize by US military journals.

    There’s nothing stopping Canada from getting the manuals and patching the software.

    If US military can’t get them or patch the software, Canada can’t either. Israel is special for not putting up with US BS.

      I haven’t seen that. I’ve only seen blogs saying stuff. And if you have the literal hardware in your hands then changing the software isn’t going to be hard as a country.

        8m lines of source code for F35 OS, afaiu. Vendor is intentionally crippling your access/functionality, and USMCA calls that “proper pro business attitude”. Again, Lockheed has accomodated Israel in not crippling their version. It’s not as though you have open source hardware to which to code your own OS ontop.

        Only dumping the POS is appropriate. Call it a negotiation position.
