You fit in just fine.
As long as we learn it does not matter how much we individually contribute. Your contributions have been very good though.
I'll second that.I appreciate the kind words, but man, I'm keenly aware of how little I know here! It's why jokes are probably half my posts, lol. I may not post in the technical threads, but I sure as hell read them that interest me. I learn soooooo much.

Who is in charge of their Ministry of Information, the Weekly World News?
Has Bat Boy escaped and joined the Ukrainian Army?

IDK, the A-10 could be lost, and as long as the pilot recovered the ship could be forgotten. On the other hand, every time an F-35 is lost the operators have to make every effort to recover the aircraft. If HMS Ark Royal (R09) lost a US-supplied Phantom over the side, it was left behind. But drop a F-35 over the side or otherwise crash one, you'd better go get it. If the tech is that valuable how can the US give them to the Ukrainians to fly over Russian held territory? It's only a matter of time before one crashes somewhat intact and ends up in Russian (and China) hands.The F-35 is literally a flying force multiplier and will be very capable of assuming the A-10's role, but in a 21st century fashion.
Wasn't there a massive security breach in which China got a lot of data on the F-35? The nose of the J-20 looks similar.IDK, the A-10 could be lost, and as long as the pilot recovered the ship could be forgotten.

I would expect that since there is the capability for car manufacturers to disable a vehicle remotely should it be stolen then it is not
much of a jump for the makers of an F-35 to have remote capability to wipe the electrics of the plane in the same way.
It is even possible to have a remote destruct ability for the any of the onboard circuitry as well.
Reasonable worries for sure but the signal goes through a satellite system and is not by radio so hard to jam when you don't know it's coming.Too many risks and flaws with that approach. Here are just a few:
1. The disable/self destruct capability malfunctions while the aircraft is being flown by a friendly pilot.
2. Adversaries can jam the disable/self destruct signal.
3. There's more intelligence to be gained regarding the F-35 than simply exploring the software. There are materials, structures, detailed design techniques etc.
4. Implementing a remote disable/self destruct capability increases the cyber threat to the weapon system, increasing risk that a hostile actor will hack it and be able to destroy/disable all F-35s everywhere.
I don't know if to laugh about Darth Putin tweet, be furious about the lies of the RTV or feel Pitt about those parents that maybe even belive that.

A remote destruct system would also only be able to be set off, well, remotely which would also require a key coding in at least 128 bits which would be
matched to each individual aircraft. Not able to malfunction as such and could also be linked to the pilots system to ensure he/she is still functional so actually
disabling groups of F-35s would be impossible.
Number 3 is the worry though as physical damage must be done to the planes systems to render them unable to be reverse engineered. Chips as in ROM etc can be burnt out
using the correct system/s and they are the ones you want to make sure no one gets intact.
The only real worry for me is money. If someone in any air force which receives the F-35 is tempted or perhaps coerced then parts of the system may be handed over to
the wrong crowd. This kind of scenario is the worst as there is the possibility that the handover may not be known about. Still, that is the risk with anything like that.
