U.S. Made Electronic Components and Microchips found in Russian SU-34, 35, 57s

Yikes. Someone might have some explaining to do.

Su-34, Su-35 and Su-57 use US-made EW components, MiG-29 not

I imagine it’s not that hard to have this stuff shipped to shell companies or friendly nations that don’t fall under sanctions and then from there import them to Russia.

I mean, all the titanium in the SR-71 came from the Soviet Union

Oh no, they have components from Texas Instruments?

May not be a bad thing, only a bad thing it was found out.

I've always wondered with our addiction to cheap electronics that if we ever went to war against China, they're going to press som universal "kill switch" and then use all of the webcam data we're cranking-out and store lord-knows-where to launch an attack.

If people are wondering one of the reasons military procurement costs so much without understanding supply chain sourcing requirements we make companies go through there is no helping them.

Even with safeguards stuff will find its way through the firewalls, but the bigger concern is stateside reshoring of the industry necessary to make components in a protracted conflict. I don’t need widget X on week 1 of the war, I need a clear way to manufacture the new AI equipped suicide swarm drones at month 9, and keep making them through month 10-11.

Yeah nah that doesn’t explain why my squadron had to spend $400 per chair on the exact same chairs that were at Walmart for $64

Do you really still believe that military contractors or any other billionaires give one iota of a poop about national affiliations anymore?

C'mon guys, it's so simple! It's all hoarding the benjamins these days! Maybe you need a refresher course.

To avoid going into Walmart? ¯\_( ˘͡ ˘̯)_/¯

That’s so the Chinese listening devices couldn’t hear you fart.

Probably right about the same time that Microsoft, Samsung, and Apple deploy the kill switch that makes every OS stop working in a particular area.

It'll be just a long enough lag for every crank in a major airline crewroom go "I told you so" before the world blows up.
