Very good article about why it doesn't even matter whether the F-35 has a kill switch or not.

Without access to the maintenance network, the same result would be achieved but with a small delay.

Especially more advanced key features require access to the ALIS/ODIN cloud-based system.

You Don’t Need A Kill Switch To Hobble Exported F-35s

The U.S. doesn't have to rely on a kill switch to rapidly degrade and soon end a foreign country's ability to use its F-35s.
