    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.
