>Military Money Management Anon Here. We are required by law and DOD Rules to Only Acquisition products made in the USA. Any equipment sourced from foreign entities can only come from U.S. Allies and then only under very articulate mission need justifications and rigorous testing. This article is some wordpress horseshit, like most of the other "Scholarly" opinions on here.
MIL Contractor here Anon. I can definitively TELL you that a lot of Equipment has CHINA shit in it! And if you look at UAV's, a lot of the UAV's in use are Israeli, initially prodiced by IAI, and STILL have Israeli components from IAI and Malat. Those components and sub assemblies are Imported through US Contractor Companies, and then Sold to the Army, Marines, Navy, or AF, because that's how it's done. That new Texan II that Textron sells the MIL for Flight Trainers .. It's a refitted Pilatus Airframe. Italian. US Engine and Avionics. Computer Equipment is no different. The Ground Control Stations for most Army and Marine, and some Air Force UAV Platforms have Components and system Hardware made in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and software too. We were given a directive about two years ago to begin identifying everything that we see, and reporting it up the chain, for good reason obviously.
Stick your "scholarly" opinion, and wikipedia, up your pompous ass!
