Jailbreaking the F-35 Fighter Jet

This blog discusses the F-35 fighter jet and mentions claims that Israel has 'jailbroken' (modified the software to bypass manufacturer restrictions on) its version of the aircraft, the F-35I Adir, to operate independently from US control systems. The post explores the technical and political complications of modifying highly restricted military software, including concerns about backdoors (hidden access points that could allow unauthorized control), supply chain dependencies, and international trade consequences.
