WASHINGTON – A U.S. Senate investigation has confirmed that more and
more counterfeit electronics are being found in U.S. defense systems,
and they don’t just come directly from China anymore; they also are
coming from suppliers in Great Britain and Canada who redirect Chinese
products.
“The defense industry’s reliance on unvetted independent distributors
to supply electronic parts for critical military applications results
in unacceptable risks to national security and the safety of U.S.
military personnel,” the investigative report said.
It pointed out that the military depends on the performance and
reliability of “small, incredibly sophisticated electronic components.”

This is a big deal and other well informed military strategists have been warning about this for last couple years. Hope someone realizes the danger this is. We need to be sending manufacturing of these parts to U.S. suppliers with factories in the USA.
