You should assume that every weapons system that is on the international market has such codes. The F-22 wasn't sold on the international market, so it wouldn't have them, but the F-35 is being sold internationally. Every weapons supplier will do this. Buying surface-to-air missiles from Russia means that the buyer can shoot down all non-Russian planes.
- simonh 8y agoI'm not aware of a single case of this being true. In any case, this guy's biography is so full of verifiable factual inaccuracies it can't be trusted. So if Exocet had such codes, and given that the French gave the UK full and thorough support and assistance throughout the conflict including secret intelligence information, how come so many British ships were damaged and sunk by Exocet missiles? Either the French had such codes and deliberately did not give them to us, stabbing us in the back in a way in which we would know for a fact they had done it to us, or the missiles never had such codes in the first place.
- tropo 8y agoI recall the story was that the codes were turned over because some ships had been sunk. That fits. You got the codes late.
