Subscribe to our newsletter As the Trump administration works to strain every one of America’s diplomatic relationships, its European allies are being forced to reevaluate their reliance on American military aid and equipment—equipment like the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II multi-role strike fighter that’s currently or planned to be operated by 14 European militaries who will, theoretically, be relying on American cooperation to ensure continued maintenance of their air fleet.According to Dutch defense secretary Gijs Tuinman, however, Europe’s F-35 fleet might not be as totally reliant on American maintenance as we might assume—for its software, at least. In an episode of BNR’s Boekestijn en De Wijk (via The Register), Tuinman said the F-35 can be jailbroken “just like an iPhone,” indicating that European militaries could potentially circumvent Lockheed Martin and implement their own homebrew solutions if the need arose.”The F-35 is truly a shared product. The British make the Rolls-Royce engines, and the Americans simply need them too,” Tuinman said. “If, despite everything, you still want to upgrade—I’m going to say something I should never say, but I will anyway—you can jailbreak an F-35 just like an iPhone.” Related articles Doom has been ported to a pair of earbuds, and you can play remotely on the programmer’s own pair in your browser ‘I know how stupid this is, but it had to be done’: YouTuber gets Doom to run on touchscreen cooking pot Doom, Windows 95, even Hytale itself: It seems like there’s nothing that modders can’t make Hytale run (Image credit: Pawel Bednarski via Getty Images)While the fact that your mili
