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.
You seem to think that the people making these decisions currently stop to think about consequences. I could totally see Drumpf saying how we got em too cheap and that he would disable them until we pay our due or something
Even Trump had to reconsider his outrageous tariffs. I guess his assistants managed to explain disastrous it would be to start a trade war with everyone.

Do you think it would be more difficult to block a military network accessing the Lockheed servers?
The stupidity and incompetence among decision makers and product managers is not to be underestimated. Neither is the impulsiveness of Trump.
