There is increasing fear in Germany that F-35 jets purchased for the German army can be "turned off" remotely by Washington. This fear is shared by defense and security specialists. Joachim Schranzhofer, head of communications at Hensoldt: "The F-35 kill switch is not just a rumor. A simpler way is through a mission planning system that will not allow the fighter to land." Wolfgang Ischinger, former diplomat and head of the Munich Security Conference: "If we fear that the US could do the same to the German F-35 fighter jets as they did to Ukraine, we should consider canceling the contract."
