Sorry, I am missing it I guess?


No, I mean I think the US can remote disable the plane


Heh if you haven’t, read Turtledoves Southern Victory series. It winds up with a Canadian insurgency with exactly those problems


Doesn’t the US hold some software keys?


You get planes that can’t fly in the rain at an insane price?
Pretty expensive training cost for the benefit.
Especially since, as Ukraine has shown, buying swarms of little drones can make expensive airplanes like the F-35 a non-factor.
I’m not Canadian, but as someone who doesn’t like the US military, I’d advise you to cancel your contracts with the US, and buy lots of drones from China and Turkey, while you ramp up your local capacity to build them. Let the Americans choke on their own military contractor welfare.
