The U.S. has cut off support for the electronic countermeasures of Ukraine's F-16s.
Sadly predictable. I think many analysts were thinking it without saying it, for fear of appearing to suggest it.
Sorry, Lockheed Martin. I will henceforth have to recommend that nobody buys your aircraft.

Try to stop selling Super Gripen from Saab sweden to columbia - GE engine - but offer F-16V
It would be a little bit funny and a Bug F. U. if they buy from China.
China has the Chengdu J-10C.
It would not be good for Western companies but a 🖕 to the USA. And columbian government is not the best friend of the US...

The UK contracting with Anduril for loitering munitions for ZSU seems unwise in the current climate.
Biden was very slow approving/sending aid as he was afraid to poke the 🐻 but Trump is actively working for 🇷🇺 very much mob boss tactics 👿
But he’s not the capo dei capi, Semion Mogilevich is.
Problem is that they still need planes.
Hopefully France can ramp up production of the Rafale and Saab can create an ITAR-free version of the Gripen.
Are there any reasonable americans left? Can‘t hear nor see them…
How do they „stopp support“ and render that Eck stuff usueless?
The U.S. doing this is all the more galling, given that 100% of the F-16s given to Ukraine were given by European allies, many of which are already committed to the F-35 as a replacement.
So this is a case of the U.S. preventing European military aid to Ukraine.
Note that even Biden had played that game by preventing Ukrainian strikes on RU territory using British & French Storm Shadow / SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
But disabling important functions on the F-16s is a new low.
America cannot be trusted. Nobody can afford to depend on their military equipment.
A lot further down
Time to rethink future investments…
Trump confirms he is a Russian Asset
...
And as you say this will destroy US military weapons sales
Nobody can now trust them
There are no rules anymore yes? Get in there & finish it.
