The complaints cite five separate attacks between 2023 and 2025, that allegedly contained components tied to Intel and AMD.
The lawsuits claim the companies failed to prevent their chips from being diverted to Russia and Iran and integrated into precision-guided weapons.
They further allege that Mouser Electronics, a Texas-based distributor, played a key role in moving the components through its logistics and sales operations.
Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments have previously said they fully comply with sanctions.
Texas Instruments has stated that it strongly opposes any military use of its products in Russian equipment.
The probe traced more than 1,100 parts from 141 Western firms inside Russian aircraft and missiles, showing intermediaries moving chips through Serbia, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka before they reach Russia and are used in precision strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine.
