      All those small parts could be made in the US aswell. The most important part is the Software which is American. Even if all European Countries stop producing parts i dont think it would have a major impact on production except maybe higher prices.

      This diagram is missing the electronics and software package, which is the real concern

      This is why when people say “oh the US could kill switch them” it’s dumb. Because American planes wouldn’t make it past their next maintenance cycle if they did that without spare parts.

      Rolls-royce is a UK company, not UK/USA 👍🏼
      Makes me wonder, has America ever said thanks for us Brits providing them the components necessary to build their jets?

      To be fair to the U.S, most of the BAE Systems components are produced by their North American subsidiary (which makes around half of the company’s entire revenue). That is if I remember correctly, of course.

      It’s missing the ejection seat, made by UK based Martin-Baker

      This is propaganda to make yall feel more comfortable with your politicians lying to you again

      Man the F-35 is more European than American haha

      It was a joke 🙁

      I’m not sure what the point of this thread actually is. Lockheed Martin designed the actual plane so I doubt the US would have any trouble producing the parts. It’s not something that would be a long term problem for them.

      It’s called the Joint Strike Fighter for a reason, any of these countries could add a kill switch.

    14. Real_Ad_8243 on

      It would fucking split my sides if the US ended up being unable to fly “their” planes because the electronics and metallurgy is stuck in customs and excise waiting for the USG to pay Lockheed a 25% markup on the original price due to their tariffs.

      Wow Awsome post. I did not know that. Also kudos to UK! Btw, Uk when are u coming back to EU! We freaking miss u !

      This is to create incentive for NATO countries to buy the plane, not for the lack of technology. You can source the landing gear from Temu instead of relying on Dutch Fokker.

      Don’t forget that Rheinmetall is currently in the final stages of completing a factory in Germany to produce parts for the F-35 as well.

    23. currywurstpimmel on

      the other day i read rheinmetall also provides important parts?

    24. Mike_for_all on

      Prepare to stay in the air forever without the European landing gear

    25. arb42se on

      … meaning Norway could block sales or service on the F35? Didn’t think so …

      Он не взлетит без разрешения с американского сервера. Он не взлетит без связи с Сетью. Это не оружие, а гаджет. То, что американская (и, в целом, западная) школа пришла к такому это весело.

    29. Fluid_Cat2269 on

      Yeah, but that kill switch and software are made in USA and pressed by an idiot voted in by a legion of stupid bigots

    30. BeltfedHappiness on

      And just like that, Reddit is back on board with the F35

    31. mememaster8427 on

      Rolls Royce is owned in its entirety by the British government, where did you find this?

    33. Proof-Ad-8968 on

      Looks like Lockheed Martin is on the charm offensive to rally support.

    36. takenusernametryanot on

      is it of any use if the kill switch is proudly made in MAGA-land?

    37. HelpfulYoghurt on

      Ok, so pretty much all the important stuff including all software, data collection, training facility, and gear is behind US supply chain

      On the other hand what Europe supplies is nothing essential and easily replaceable

    38. DiscoKeule on

      Great! Cancel all European Orders and forbid export of those components. Why should Europe build fighter jets that will be used to threaten the EU

    39. MacDaddy8541 on

      Denmark also recently found out that America also owns all the spare parts as they were forced to send their spare parts for the F-35s from their stock to Israel to boost their war effort. Something to keep in mind before buying these US owned planes.

      Enough there to do a hands off don’t F around deal with the Jaffa then?
