Kill switches are almost entirely a misconception, as far as I understand it. What's far more dangerous with US defence products is reliance on them for spare parts, repairs and upgrades. Piss off the US in some way, your very very expensive aircraft no longer gets spare parts, plane can't fly safely, it's functionally useless.

Not having essential parts basically works like a kill switch, so we're screwed either way. If EU governments do similar purchases now they would be real stupid.
