California contractor faces questions over possible foreign engine use

A recent video from Mach Industries showcased a new vertical take-off cruise missile. Viewers noted that the engine design appeared similar to a Chinese-made model, the Swiwin SW800 Pro. Mach Industries, a California-based start-up founded in 2022, has gained attention for its innovative defense technology. The company was recently chosen by the Army Applications Laboratory to develop the "Strategic Strike" missile. The video highlighted the missile's 3D-printed body and engine assembly, raising questions about the use of foreign components in U.S. military technology.
