    I wouldn’t use the term software update to describe those things though.

      Nah, after every bombing run I pull out the ol usb-c cord and hook up my fighter jet to my laptop for a firmware update.

        I mean, you need to charge the battery so you might as well update it while you’re doing that.

          Yeah, it’s so awkward when you run out of battery during a tactical maneuver and you have to fly through enemy air space to borrow a power bank.

        What the parent comment is describing appears to be downloading of data. Not a software update.

        You’re not going to perform a software update after every single encounter with an enemy. You might upload/download data for analysis purposes, mission updates, etc. but you’re not going to actually update the software in such a situation.
