Agree on reported possible electronic vulnerabilities of F35. Believe this was at least partly if not entirely mitigated by Trump during his first term when he grounded the entire fleet to replace the chips used in the F35 with chips made in Israel. F35 was a boondoggle that needed to be straightened out and Trump took steps to address it. How effective it was remains to be seen n combat.
This is partly why I remain doubtful of the official narrative of the Israeli reprisal Iranian airfield attack. No way Israel risks such high value assets striking so deeply into Iranian territory just to take out an S-300 Anti-Aircraft system without striking a primary objective, A Champ EMP attack on Nuclear sites makes much more sense to justify the risk.
If you are only going to take out an S-300, use a long range missile or a space based DEW. It just doesn't justify the risk to F35 reputation & aircrew if the plane is shot down by Iran for so little reward. Doesn't make sense. Narrative stinks & it is almost like Pepe Escobar's leak was designed to make the Semi Official Narrative more believable in comparison to what he put out..
