I’m pretty sure that billion dollar army tech is not connected to a civilian Internet network. I find the idea of a F-35 asking you for the wifi password pretty funny.
Now, if you want to disrupt the Internet connection of the army of a sovereign nation, good luck. This whole aspect of the article is not very credible.
On the other hand, If the U.S. decides to render the F-35s unusable by forcing those running the update server to stop service or by blocking all incoming communication to those update servers, it’s going to be a terrible precedent. I can only see that happening in some very dire scenarios. Sabotaging military tech of an allied nation is not something you do without expecting consequences.
