Weren’t some of the US helicopters that were captured in Ukraine remotely disabled? I seem to remember a Russian general having a hissy fit about it early in the invasion.
Ukraine doesn’t really operate western helicopter in general so the story may have been about something else. We have reports of the Russian using captured American armor vehicles. So no kill switch in those.

I assumed F35s have a similar lockout mechanism.
If you have an article or maybe remember more details about that story?
The closest I could find is this.

Hrm… Yeah, I’m not finding anything either. Might be I misunderstood something at the time, or took a rumor at the time as fact.
