What kill switches are you on about? Russia does not use anything French, or from wherever else, that could involve a kill switch. The era of the Russian MoD buying Western weapons as a sort of punishment to our mil-industrial complex has been over since 2014. True enough, we were about to receive two massive helicopter carrier's from France, but then they suspended delivery after the annexation of Crimea. The ships were sold to Egypt instead. Currently, the most impactful French tech in use on Russian equipment are thermal-vision sights manufactured by a JV between Thales and a Russian plant, and in use on Russian tanks and AFVs. I don't think you can install a kill switch into a sight.
There was, one more thing that could involve a kill switch in the past, but no longer - and that's our Israeli-sourced Searcher MKII drones. However, those have since been 100% localized in terms of production, with the Russian modification going by the name Forpost-R. That's it! Basta! Everything else is either an armored car (Iveco), or some tactical vest and optics for rifle.
There is indeed a capability gap we have in manufacturing semiconductors, and this will take some years to close. Thankfully, the kind of semiconductors you need in the military are exceedingly primitive compared to the most state of the art civilian chips now in production. The processor running the F-22 is weaker than the one in your iPhone. However, they necessarily have much higher demands placed on them in terms of reliability and protection vs different types of radiation. For now we will rely on the chips we stockpiled prior, but in three-four years hopefully we will remove this reliance. In any case, the reliance is on Koreans, Taiwanese, and Malaysians and not dirty Euros.
