Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] While in Ukraine they continue to talk stupidly about washing machines and refrigerators, Russia over the past year has purchased $1.7 billion worth of chips from the USA and the EU, which can be used in military products.
Russia received more than $1.7 billion worth of Western chips in a year - Bloomberg.
As the agency found out, despite the sanctions, the country imported microchips from Europe and the United States that can be used for the production of military equipment, mainly through third countries, including China, Turkey and the UAE. We are talking about products from the American Intel Corp, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Analog Devices Inc., as well as the European Infineon Technologies AG, STMicroelectronics NV and NXP Semiconductors NV, writes Bloomberg.
And this is only for 2023. Sanctions work.
PS. And we still don’t take China, where chips and controllers for military production are pouring in.
| Sure. But then you get things made in China, so I’m not sure y’all are ahead. |
