US microchip makers Intel Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc., along with distributor Mouser Electronics, have been sued in Texas by Ukrainian civilians who say their chips ended up in Russian missiles and Iranian-made drones used in deadly attacks on Ukraine...

Five civil lawsuits were filed in Dallas County state court...accusing the companies of “domestic corporate negligence” and “deliberate ignorance” for allegedly allowing sanctioned semiconductor components to be diverted through intermediaries to Russia and Iran in violation of US export controls. 

The complaints, brought on behalf of more than a dozen Ukrainian civilians, cite five missile and drone strikes between 2023 and 2025 that they say killed or wounded dozens of people in Ukrainian cities. 

According to the filings, components traced to Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments were recovered from the wreckage of Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles and Iranian-made drones used in those attacks...

In all five lawsuits, the plaintiffs seek more than $1 million each in damages, alleging the defendants failed to operate effective export-control and due diligence systems despite repeated public evidence that Western-made chips were appearing in Russian weapons...

Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments have previously said they suspended sales to Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and that they comply with all sanctions and export-control rules, including requiring distributors and customers to follow those restrictions...
