The US Air Force discovered issues with some critical systems on their brand-new Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft. The results of the inspection came as a big surprise: "What the heck! The sneaky merchants from the celestial empire actually dared to sell us counterfeit goods!"

The problem was found in the ice detection system on the P-8, which is responsible for detecting floating ice on the water surface. The issue turned out to be—several small electronic components! It turns out that the entire batch of these electronic components were refurbished parts sold off as brand new original equipment. This discovery led to further investigation... "Damn, things are serious now. That damn ** sold me so much fake stuff! Isn't it possible that the electronic systems in my planes, cannons, and tanks all have potential problems?!!!"

Now, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee is drafting an amendment requiring all electronic components from China to be inspected before they can be put into use...

The country should award these rogue merchants with medals, to commend their outstanding contributions to national defense!

Below are some comparison images between genuine and counterfeit refurbished parts:
