Frankly amazed SpaceX hasn't been caught with an ITAR violation yet.

You know who’s now making ITAR-free FPV drones in Europe… 🤔🐝
Bundeswehr has banned all Chinese-sourced commercial drones from bases and training ranges. Existing stock in use will be replaced with other products. The ban affects previously "white-listed" models by DJI and likely covers several thousand drones.

(S+) Spionagegefahr: Bundeswehr verbannt Drohnen und Autos aus China aus den Kasernen
Bisher durften Bundeswehrkommandeure handelsübliche chinesische Drohnen für die Ausbildung anschaffen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen werden die Systeme jetzt ausgemustert. Sie gelten als Sicherheitsrisik...

EAT SHIT, ITAR

I don't think he's invulnerable to ignoring ITAR, myself.

since "every other foundry" includes Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and GE, i kinda doubt they're "years ahead"

and of course they'll be quiet about details, ITAR is scary shit
I’m sure the former Groupon PM has quietly figured out the secret to efficient turbine engines.

For the board I suspect it is about ITAR violations.

It could kill the company.

Or to accidentally stumble into ITAR land

Not the right question. Did he give this sparrow any Export Control or ITAR information?
November 9, 2026 at 10:17 PM
I mean I threw anything from my milsurp collection that was remotely useful and not ITAR controlled into to the big box at the local Ukrainian society when the war started. I'm not opposed to this.

I just wish my stupid Soviet gewgaws could have stayed on the shelf..

Many parts of the JAS 39 are made in USA. There is only one western ITAR-free fighter, it's the Rafale. IIRC, it's also free of any German or Swiss components, for the same reason (I may be wrong about this, however).

ITAR for graphics cards is bullshit anyway so who gaf really

What's a little light ITAR-controlled chip trafficking between friends

There is/was shady stuff involving smuggling of nvidia hardware into China and the former employer of the alleged spy was involved. ITAR violations are serious enough that they'd actually go after it. The timing could be argued to be suspicious, I guess.

Americans have already lifted sanctions on Russians energy and I suspect more is to come. I am now reasonably certain Washington will impose ITAR export control, all in the interest of peace. I hope Europe and Ukraine are ready for this eventualty.

I mean, DoD contractors were using Kaspersky anti-virus(?) software well into the 2010s and my then-manager made us use Bandcamp even though he couldn't verify it passed ITAR restrictions.

I asked him once how he knew Bandcamp was secure and he replied, "It has a lock icon in the address bar."

Job was ok. But was a lot of admin requirements. All parts produced was licensed under ITAR and classified as weapon.
Therefore it is a puzzle to me how 1 mill parts can go missing in Amerikkka!

20 people in Tampa are the TF? This is an Interagency LNO staff to work ITAR violations and nothing else.

They seriously think the USA is too big to fail and where are they going to go? Are they going to buy (snicker) weapons and high tech (snort) from
somewhere else? They really have no clue what is happening re ITAR-free and derisking at all levels— including grassroots demands & leading by example

The company would survive, but would be closely monitored & inspected by the US government for a specific time period.

ITAR export violations are expensive and carry a prison term. If everyone on the board & officers had knowledge (now likely) they have all opened themselves up to liability.

Nvidia's backchannels are going to try to dig up as many 'mistresses' as possible to bury the whole singapore/malaysia sanctions/itar evasion
