Rasmus Jarlov is a Danish politician, who is a member of the Folketing (the Parliament of Denmark) for the Conservative People's Party. From 2018 to 2019 he was Minister of Business Affairs.

His warning to our allies:

Screen Capture of Tweet by Rasmus Jarlov | don't know if there is a kill switch in the F35’s or not. We obviously can not take your word for it. As one of the decision makers behind Denmark’s purchase of F35’s, | regret it. The USA can certainly disable the planes by simple stopping the supply of spare parts. They want to strengthen Russia and weaken Europe and are showing that they are willing to do tremendous damage to peaceful and loyal allies like Canada just because they insist on existing as a country. | can easily imagine a situation where the USA will demand Greenland from Denmark and will threaten to deactivate our weapons and let Russia attack us when we refuse (which we will even in that situation). Therefore, buying American weapons is a security risk that we can not run. We will make enormous investments in air defence, fighter jets, artillery and other weapons in the coming years, and we must avoid American weapons if at all possible. | encourage our allies and friends to do the same.

@MNSpy Get rid of them. The F-35 may be a significant investment, but it's one that #Denmark cannot afford to continue with. If #Putin decides he's had it with #NATO, his puppet #Trump will cut all all support, and the #F35 will become a very expensive paperweight. Better to get an inventory of Gripens, Rafales, or even Eurofighters. Get America's fingers out of European and NATO defense, as much as possible.

Gripen still relies, to the best of my understanding, on an American jet engine.

I have seen some differing opinions about how much work will be needed to redesign it for a replacement engine.

@Mool @MNSpy The current engine is a Volvo RM12 turbofan engine a licence-manufactured derivative of General Electric F404.
If Gripen needs a non-US engine, I'm fairly certain the folks at SAAB can figure it out, and there are plenty of European airspace companies that can help.

@Mool @TheNovemberMan @MNSpy Also: if the license runs out I guess that means they aren’t allowed to build more motors/parts. I doubt it means they _can’t_ build them.
