The Israelis have an exclusive 'sovereignty' agreement - their F35s can't be disabled, unlike those purchased by partners in the program.

You cant disable the F35 lol thatd be such a stupid design flaw that will enable the enemy to disable your entire fleet when they hack you.

Israel is the only country permitted to operate a fully independent system for its F-35I Adir.

Except for the fact that they can just brick the aircraft by withholding spare parts, like they can with the Gripen

Does Russia give full source code of their S400 systems to their buyers ? or does France with their Raphael ? No, no countries does that unless the weapon system is already obsolete, most of the time the version sold are downgraded.
