Grazie Diego.
Solo un commento veloce.

"the F-35 will require at least 8 million lines of software code. This
software will support the F-35 in a variety of missions, including
air-to-air combat; air-to-ground attack; electronic attack; and
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance

A recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office probed
cyber vulnerabilities in U.S. weapons systems and arrived at some
worrisome conclusions. This report noted that the Defense Department
routinely finds mission-critical cyber vulnerabilities during
operational testing of weapons systems that are under development,
pointing out that "using relatively simple tools and techniques,
testers were able to take control of systems and largely operate
undetected". Even worse, the Government Accountability Office found
that the discovered vulnerabilities represented only a fraction of
total vulnerabilities because not all weapons systems were tested

An increase in the technological sophistication of software can break
this link in the short term. For example, compilers that translate
high-level languages into machine code enable the development of
programs that are less complex and more easily understandable (at the
source code level) for a given level of functionality (as defined by
what the computer actually does at the machine code level). But in the
absence of continuous increases in sophistication of software-building
technology, functionality means more complexity.

8 milioni di LOC, di cui la stragrande maggioranza in C/C++ ?
Nell'industria la media di bug รจ 15/50 per 1000 linee, quindi, anche
considerando il limite inferiore, siamo a 120.000 bug, compreso bug
"fine del mondo"
