The kill-chain briefing
There is no kill switch. There is something slower and more complete: the sustainment pipeline. Cut ODIN, expire the crypto keys, embargo the engines, and sixty percent of Europe's F-35 fleet stops flying in three weeks.
Unusual: zero F-35B movements out of Marham today, zero out of Leeuwarden, and Ørland is quiet too. Three national fleets standing down on the same morning is not weather.
