    The US can remotely disable them whenever they damn well please anyway, and can not be trusted not to.

    Everyone should be canceling their orders immediately, and disable the remote access capabilities to the ones they have.

      Has it actually been confirmed they can do this? I would assume they backdoor them, but usually backdoors are secret.

        They require software updates for every mission, that are distributed from the US.

        You can probably fly / use it without those, but you lose all the advanced command & control features

              "I keep hearing the missile connecting and disconnecting.

              Has anyone got the latest driver for a Sidewinder AIM-9L?"

        Some high ranking US intelligence dude said something along the lines of that yeah. I dont think anyone has hacked into one of them to check or reverse engineer the code tho.

          It’s several millions of lines of code, and it gets a lot harder to follow once compiled, so that would be a big project.
