The chip industry’s open secret: Adversaries’ military tech relies on U.S. components, 17 April 2023

Key components from more than a dozen Western countries have been found in the military equipment used by Russian forces in Ukraine, according to research from the British academic journal Royal United Services Institute. A separate report from independent research group Conflict Armament Research analyzed the components of four Iranian-made drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, used by Russia in Ukraine and found the vast majority of the technological devices originated from U.S. companies...

“For Russian systems, I think we have a little bit more than 50% of components that bear the brands of U.S.-based entities,” said Damien Spleeters, deputy director of operations for CAR. “For Iranian systems, it is more than 80%”...

Texas Instruments said it does not “support or condone” the use of its products “in applications for which they weren’t designed.”

Microchip Technology said it uses “various methods including screening customers against restricted party lists” to help prevent the illegal use of its products.
