The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee has found that counterfeit electronic parts are finding their way into the U.S. military supply chain at an alarming rate. The Senate released a report that claims that on 1,800 separate occasions, the U.S. military or contractors have purchased electronics materials for defense systems that were either fake or poorly recycled.
In some cases, defective chips made their way into critical U.S. weapons and navigation systems.
No Communist country (CHINA, etc.) or Middle Eastern Country except (Israel) should be permitted to manufacture any military equipment and put the United States at risk of sabotage or the loss of sensitive or classified military information.
