The reality is almost always somewhere in the middle. They almost certainly have at least a couple aircraft that are non flyable. Cann birds are a fact of life, and you'll find them everywhere. So are pilots leaving the military for airline careers.

Why do I have a feeling that once everyone buys American vehicles will get turned off at the end of the war to give US military more advantage all over the allies?

They can't be. Contrary to popular belief there's no kill switch in equipment that we sell to allies.

I heard a rumour the mission software needed to ‘operate’ them could only be uploaded by USA.

I didn’t believe but is there anything in the rumour?

Currently the code is US only. It has to be upgraded by US tech reps, but mission specific software can be uploaded by whoever operates the aircraft. They just can't alter the base code. That will change eventually.
