Also, as a dev, this kind of coding drives me fucking crazy, all the insane verification harnessing and imagined deterministic proofs overlaid on C++. It's the most awful unenjoyable way to code.

Data processing on the plane systems will be a big important thing I recon. All that sensor data which makes modern planes so advanced needs to be processed. Turning raw signals into identifiable objects of concern then acting on them.

If this report is accurate, then this data could be used to degrade the F-35 stealth capabilities.

Even just having the code will allow you to know the specs of the sensors on the thing. That alone is useful.

Plus think about little things like actuator controls, power controls and so on. You can get a real good idea of the hardware specs of modern devices by looking at their code.

unless you find some absolutely picturesque type of bug, it's probably not that useful outside of reverse engineering, so what if a rocket approaching from that precise angle will be invisible or cause cascading failure of avionics? you can't use that at those speeds

  1. With 375 TB you probably are going to find picturesque bugs
  2. The angular resolutions and fields of sensors are highly protected. It's not going to be something like hitting a precise angle and boom, you win. It's going to be something like "within this angular range the resolution is X" thereby giving resistance engineers an understanding of whether their own systems are capable in what scenario, how to test and improve them. Little tidbits of info like that added up will give you a valuable picture.

And I'm just talking about the real basic stuff here. Who knows what kinda shit is in the 375 TB.

The F-35’s are networked. Having the source code could enable you to install Bonzai Buddy for the pilot.

All F35s get "tractor beamed" into the cool zone with weapons disabled. Better yet reprogrammed to attack their own base.

Sounds like a shitty movie I would watch
