Since 2005 The US Commerce Department has warned of an increase of the import of counterfeit microchips which are used in Military Hardware, including F-15 jets, as well as civilian applications such as power grids and nuclear reactors. The US Military has purchased over 59,000 of these chips.
Many of these chips are cheap knock-offs, while others are "Trojan Horses" programmed to fail intentionally.
