Linked National Post on purpose. Given their bias I believe they’d present the worst case scenario.

    That feels like an internet rumour. How would that even work? Like if someone took out LM’s servers all F-35s in the world would no longer function? If an enemy jammed the signal they wouldn’t work?

    There’s no need to invent problems anyway. The US could potentially cut off Canada from parts needed to maintain the planes and that’s reason enough to cancel it.
