I suppose ... that plane could be flown remotely from the ground? And this may be some 3-letter agency “thing” where they disappear one of these aircraft. And then send it to ... somewhere ... that starts with the letter “U”.

A single F35 isn’t going to make a bit of difference in Ukraine. The whole concept behind the F35 is to network them all, back to an AWACS. One plane by itself wouldn’t last a day.
