> I dunno, that's the intended interpretation from the headline
My only intentions when writing the headline were to avoid the click-bait format of the original and to communicate that it is suspected that counterfeit electronic components somehow ended up in an F-16. That is supported by this sentence from the article:
> Suppliers Atmel, Analog Devices and Siliconix provided the potentially counterfeit transistors, memory chips and accelerometer chip, according to the Air Force slides.
I have no idea how it would have happened and I hope I didn't phrase the title in a way that suggested any particular possibility.
