apply that problem to the F-35 Fighter Jet.
This weapons system uses the most advanced semiconductors on earth.
What if a fighter jet has a software update that requires new semiconductors?
A Chinese attack on Taiwan would put our very National Security at risk.
As a matter of fact, no critical system or network you can think of — defense, power, transport, finance, communications, health care — can function without semiconductors.
The first move our military would have to make is to secure the 33% of semiconductor chips that were left, or we wouldn’t be able to support our own weapons systems. It’s a question of National Security.
