Welcome to Weapon Platforms as a Service. We can provide you with the newest toys at a bargain price, but you can't modify anything, and we reserve the right to remotely brick the hardware whenever we like. Because what else you're going to do? Spend many years and billions of dollars on building your own? While your neighbor just leased 20 fighters from us?
