Telegraph: F-35 ‘kill switch’ could allow Trump to disable European air force

The Telegraph reports: “Donald Trump could deactivate supplies of American F-35 fighter jets making their way to Germany at the push of a button known as a “kill switch”, officials fear.

Germany is set to receive 35 of the world’s most advanced fighter jets for €8.3 billion (£6.9 billion) next year in a deal with the US.

The ability of the US to flip a switch that would render them inoperable has long been the subject of speculation, but until now, it has not been proven.”

The same F 35 jet is purchased by Switzerland and also by UK, Italy, Australia etc …

In Switzerland, the leftist parties are starting a campaign demanding a review of the purchase … not because of the US kill switch, but only because of Donald Trump. Ridiculous.
