China made computer processors for our military equipment and placed hidden remote deactivation switches in those processors so the computers could be shut down. You can't detect this as the processor looks and works exactly the same as the processor without the kill switch. You have to physically cut the processor open and look at the circuitry which is near impossible to do.
Someone did and ama on reddit (but I can't find it) about there experience in a secret department in IBM which puts backend access into processors for the government. They can activate the processor remotely. If I remember correctly it's ntegrated into something like the processor governance system which is like a second circuit board which control the processor.
You won't find anything on Google but duckduckgo has a bunch of articles.
It probably wouldnt switch off an f-15. Like I said it just disables the processor. So it would probably just switch off critical radar and other computers within an f-15.

that's quite the claim
care to demonstrate it

Yes, I know about Management Engine type stuff end reading data from network connected machines in the "off" state.
That's a bit different from switching off F-15s mid-flight
