Yes, I know they are supposed to be domestically sourced...

Well, they're getting the helmets right. Thankfully, my son weighs 180+

The recent sled test, conducted with a 103-pound mannequin, is the latest sign that the JPO can make good on its promise to finish the three design fixes by November, allowing the military services to lift restrictions on lightweight pilots flying the F-35. Last year, Defense News first reported that pilots under 136 pounds were barred from flying the fifth-generation aircraft after testers discovered an increased risk of neck damage to lightweight pilots ejecting from the plane. The US Air Force has also acknowledged an “elevated level of risk” for pilots between 136 and 165 pounds.

(article):"Department of Defense officials have described as the "brains" of the fifth-generation fighter"..

null and void :" Chinese chips running Indian software.

Spot on !
Also, using Chinese chips to run our defenses against Chinese intrusion in the Pacific ?
Ignorant question here :... "Is there a back door to the chips , or the software ?
Same question for electonic, radio, or radar systems ?
"What could possibly go wrong? "
