Per TFA, this impacts F-16s NOT F-35s
Per TFA, the US is not actively “turning off” any piece of equipment, they are no longer providing updates (something with which we are all familiar.
Per TFA, this means that the US is no longer providing active support in a country-vs-country battle of electronic warfare. Which is what the title and article says, and very different from what most of you actually READ.
- adamors 2y ago> Per TFA, this impacts F-16s NOT F-35s Title it about F16s > Per TFA, the US is not actively “turning off” any piece of equipment From the article: "the Trump administration has cut off vital support for their [the F16s'] jamming capabilities" What article are you reading?
- ExoticPearTree 2y agoExactly this: the US is not providing software updates anymore. The planes fly just fine. It is going to be tricky if they decide to stop hardware support - meaning spare parts.
- legitster 2y agoThe article pretty clearly explains how important the missile jamming feature is, and that Ukraine has to switch to other planes and equipment.

- actionfromafar 2y agoSo, to conclude, foreigners shouldn't buy F35s.
- pseudony 2y agoAnd as you aptly demonstrated. You don't care about the security needs of your allies. As for free support. Have you any clue how much economy of scale is unlocked by selling to other markets ? You profit from the sales, you profit from lower per-unit costs. Anyway. Whatever, you can count on the feeling being mutual soon, we are so done with you..
