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.

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.

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.

This is about the third article from Cornucopia I have read. And I guess that blog is the first to report certain information. However, these posts also seem rambling, connecting multiple related topics into an incoherent whole. Is this better in Swedish and it's somehow just because I am only reading a machine translation? Or is Swedish media always like that? Or..?

They tend to be quite rambling for sure. It's like he's writing from the top of his head in spoken language. They're usually not well edited and may contain typos etc. He's quite a character. Interesting, sometimes embarrassing and quite often annoying. But his heart is in the right place.
His blog is the only one in Swedish with daily and detailed updates on Ukraine. That I know of at least.

I don't think I had heard of it before. Read a little of it in Swedish now and I think you're right, it's a rough read, rambling almost manic. Does not read like regular media, no
