I mean every country that takes delivery of them gets to inspect it really closely. The “kill switch” is that they stop providing you the software for mission planning and shit.

I’m not buying any, don’t worry.
But there’s several countries involved in building them and they also have schematics. You’d think at least one would have raised alarms by now if there was truly a kill switch.
The real real kill switch is ALIS access and parts availability. Those two things can ground the planes until a replacement system is developed and parts manufactured.
