There is nothing this technologically advanced that the manufacturers cant brick or severely impair if pushed to do so (if not by remote command, then by support neglect), and you can be guaranteed the Americans know of remote vulnerabilities as well. Thats a given. We can 100% expect they would be tarmac bricks within weeks of the USA breaking hard from NATO or Canada.
Fyi, they could also brick nearly every modern large tractor in the country right at harvest season, and most of our street vehicles. All via standard remote update infrastructure.
Thats just the reality of modern tech. It would be the same with other options, but we should pick a country not threatening to annex us to buy from.
