Why EU-native rather than nation-native ? If you are French, your sensitive stuff must be French-native, just like Switzerland does, not "EU-native whatever that means".

There is no EU, each country has very strong different interests, on some topics, some will decide to stay close to the US, on some other topics, some will seek proximity with the BRICS, etc, etc. Constantly being in an in-between is what has destroyed Europe.

Hyperbole much?

I think you completely misunderstand what the EU is, the position of its member states, etc.

It's hard to take any point you tried to make seriously given that.

Many EU countries have bought US fighter jets (Denmark for instance). Many EU countries still make it clear that they want US technology (Poland for instance). Germany is sending extremely mixed signals.

So, when it's "EU sovereignity", which is it, the Polish flavored one, or the French-flavored one ?
