Would you go near a plane that's an electronic signal away from blowing itself up?

Even if mechanical, warplanes get combat damage, and having a system like that could make a difference between survivable and sure death.

Maybe bring some strong jamming equipment to prevent the electronic signal from being received?

The signal can originate on the plane itself due to a software glitch, stray currents in the grounding skin or whatever. If anything, jammers tend to interfere with the carrier's electronics itself.
