Suspected counterfeit components found in ejection seat after fatal F-16 crash
*Suppliers Atmel, Analog Devices and Siliconix provided the potentially counterfeit transistors, memory chips and accelerometer chip, according to the Air Force slides.*
*The lab also found signs that Teledyne had destroyed evidence related to the case, the lawsuit said. Teledyne appeared to have replaced five microchips on the sequencer before sending it to the lab.*

Attempted cover-up much?
Disgraceful.
Very sad. Here I am worrying about using quality parts to make blinky lights. I hope the family gets closure on this.
“Military grade”.
> In Schmitz’s case, the ejection seat shot 130 feet into the air but failed to deploy its parachute. The airman hit the ground about seven seconds later while still strapped into his seat. He died on impact.
This is pretty fucked up.
Doesn’t the military have super strict guidelines for basically everything?
Someone must have bought their parts from Ali Express or a third-party Amazon seller.
I get counterfeiting a mass produced product but something like this is just odd. More than likely shit quality control and now that are trying to shift the blame somewhere else.
