Hey Legends, A huge thankyou for Mr V for helping me, This is the video he was referring to below, When we first spoke about the potential Russia has for modifying laser guidance into a Tornado S ''A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon the Tornado-S ammunition circuitry video. I notice that this circuit had too many jumper wires. Jumper wires are something that are frowned upon in circuit design. They are sometimes needed if your circuit has only two layers, but if your circuit is multi layered, you shouldn't be any need of jumper wires. This circuit is definitely multi-layered. The nut and bolt on the left of the video at 7:01 time stamp holds the layers together and connects the grounds or VDDs of all layers. So, there is no reason for the jumper wires. This makes me think that a modification to the circuitry is made at the last minute. It is impossible to say the modification, but it is plausible that Russian engineers MacGyvered an extra sensor to make the missile laser guided. Such modifications are child's play if you are dealing with FPGAs. But for the Tornado-S circuit, the processor is an MPGA, which is not programmable. Still, the MPGA might have been designed with the possibility of a future modification in mind, or some other guidance system might be overridden in favour of the laser guidance.'' th-cam.com/video/r94qCraTBYM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PwrxzYxksh3NilPz
I don`t know why people think Russians are stone age morons, their scientists are as smart as anyone only mistake they made is to rely on foreign tech. But they are perfectly of capable of producing whatever they want. Who do you think has been carrying the US`s crap into space and retrieving their astronauts for the las 40 years.
USSR produced domestically space technology behind iron curtain that could hold the candle against best of the best NASA technology. Russian engineers are not how they were portrayed by Hollywood BTW, Willy, apparently Krynky holds. Time for a victory lap :)
Russia uses 30nm chips in most of their weapons which can be produced inside russia or anywhere in the world, it's a 20 years old technology, the chips in your weapon needs to be reliable not state of the art
Moreover, they are much more reliable than new ones even just because manufacturers have 20 years of refining its production process. Also it makes them cheaper as fuck. Producing effective modern weapons with 20 year old cheap chips - this is a worthy task for capable and professional military engineering bureaus, while newest and most powerful cheaps are just brute force. Like, yeah, now you have cutting edge weapons without putting much of a thought, but its not very reliable and most important, its expensive as hell. "Its okay i have infinite money glitch!" said Pentagon. Turns out, even infinite-ish money are not enough if your enemy can produce the roughly the same things but several orders of magnitude cheaper and dozens of times faster and more.
@@PaIaeoCIive1648 Where are you getting that figure? It's my understanding that China "Virtually all the MEMS wafers are fabricated outside of the country and imported as wafers, chips or packaged devices.".. Mems are western technology. That's where they were invented.
@@AtticusKarpenter You don't need mems (micro-electromechanical systems) to make a missile to fly. They just make things smaller. But also mems are less precise than classic systems. You can't make a drone to navigate using only mems, for example.
Former CIA economic consultant Jim Rikards wrote a book on iranian sanctions and how Russia was helping Iran back then. That book was published in 2011, meaning public knowledge was available long ago, while Russia was getting directly first hand info and experience on "how-to-handle-your economy if you're sanctioned oil exporting country" from Iran. Russians were well informed before 2014.
Excellent information. But realistically no intelligent person should ever have thought Russia could be sanctioned. They’re an energy and good exporter with lots of heavy industry and first rate scientists and engineers, and freaking CHINA has an utterly compelling interest in supporting them. For so, so many reasons that even a senile blob like Biden should have been able to work this out - it gives them a chance to break US influence globally, and Ukraine has to be scaring the hell out of Taiwan. (And the US’s destruction of its ally’s energy supply even more so.) Ironically, China COULD meaningfully sanction the USA. They’re not just a major industrial power but also the biggest producer of the rare earths needed for semiconductors. If they cut those off, the US economy collapses.
Sanctions on itself do nothing against a resource country. When it comes to the endless row of countries western fascism ruined, it was always WAY more than sanctions, but active meddling in the economy via regime change or buying corrupt oligarchs and worse.
I remember the first sanctions in 2014. After sanctioning Russia by EU, Putin stopped the import of fruit and vegetables from EU. Putin was ridiculed that his people will suffer. Putin responded by allowing imports from Brazil and other countries and also funded his farmers. Well today they are selft reliant. Russia is not Zimbabwe
Yes, the sanctions actually helped, as an example, the growth of wine and cheese making in Russia. France, which banned those exports to Russia, simply damaged their own industries now AND FOR THE FUTURE.
@demivik5812 What he meant is that they can rely on good and fair relationship with partners rather than "western partners". Since 2014 Russia produces a much more domestic products, sanctions has boosted their own producers to fill that gap in the market. I keep coming across your comments now and then, it looks like you are driven by your anger and hate rather than common sense and analysis. You hear only what you want to hear and ignore he rest
There are no difficulties with the production of microchips for weapons and military equipment in Russia. There is no need to use microchips for smartphones in a high-precision missile.A manufacturer of bombs, missiles, and airplanes does not need a pea-sized chip. He will be satisfied with a processor the size of a matchbox or even a brick. The dimensions of the Kalibr cruise missile are 8 meters long and 0.5 meters in diameter. A chip the size of a brick can definitely be placed there. The laptop in the 80s had a 12 MHz processor and 4 MB RAM. The Tomahawk cruise missile of the 80s remains relevant today.
@@bobmorane2082 Ukraine used Tochka-U ("Point-U") Soviet missiles before Himars, and they was decently useful considering they are old as fuck, i think its not even 80s
@@dieselphiend - BS, educate yourself, Russia produce its own military chips for more than 20 years, dude ! They have 65 nm fabs, more than enough for military industry, and muppets like you really have a hard time to realize China provide zillions of chips - even top models - each time RF need some. China is the world's biggest chip manufacturer, and are more than happy to trade them for russian oil, gas, food, nuclear tech, fighters, etc.
It is possible to expand this topic. If you remember, the statement that Russia will run out of electronics is just one statement from a long list. You may recall how it was claimed that the Russian financial system would collapse due to disconnection from Swift. That Russia will run out of ammunition. I remember how one European resident came out to me, who was sure that because of the sanctions in Russia, people were dying of hunger. I tried to convince him to check where the grain was coming from in Europe. But he wasn't able to hear me. At the same time, when all these grain deals began, he did not want to talk to me at all. His head was occupied with other myths about the disaster in Russia. Misunderstanding the situation with electronics is not an exception to the rule. This is a symptom of a much more dangerous phenomenon. You notice the same symptoms in Zelensky's military tactics. In a topic that you understand. When military operations are preferred to the defense of the most important areas, which can be favorably covered in the media. When the military leadership does not understand why expensive equipment will not replace a boot for a soldier. There are situations when two people argue about how to achieve the desired result. This is acceptable if each of them understands the issue. And the goal of every debater is to find the best option. But it's a disaster if the goal of one of the disputants is only to win the dispute. He doesn't care about the case, he just needs to win the argument. Therefore, he will deliberately make false statements, and refuse to accept any logic. Simply, a sober vision of the situation gives you an advantage over an opponent with great capabilities. But trapped in illusions.
Zelensky understands everything perfectly fine. He also understands that he won't survive if he doesn't continue fighting and selling the war to the western audience and misrepresenting the successes to get more weapons to continue the war. His personal frontline is all around him, particularly in the western parts of Ukraine
Sanctioning a nation that is a major exporter of food, resources and energy is simply impossible. On the other hand one can sanction an importer country.
Sanctions work, though they also made Russia a Vasal of China, similar to North Korea. The Irony is that Putin and Kim Jong Un now collaborate to take world leadership...
Exports dropped by 1 percent to USD 30.3 billion from USD 30.6 billion in February 2023. Meanwhile, imports edged up by 0.3 percent to USD 22.6 billion from USD 22.5 billion.
@@Gaz9845 China and India pay a lot less for Russian oil and gas than the Europe did. China also told Russia with the regard of the pipeline that is currently built between Siberia and China that they want the same prices that Russians have to pay. The gas and oil prices in Russia are heavily subsidised by the state though. So not much to earn here for Russia. Gazprom made a record loss of 630 billion Rubles last year and for this year an even higher loss is expected. Selling gas and oil for dumping prices to India and China won't change that.
The Chinese are already producing 7nm chips, and Huawei has just patented a 3nm one, so Willy I think you have misconceptions about the Chinese being way behind in chip production, they are not that far behind at all.
You all forget that Russia is structured like a super power unlike regular countries that rely solely on imported goods and materials, they produce their own raw materials, power, weapons and food !
america is a consumer economy...we got rid of our manufacturing...russia did not and they dont build weapons for a profit they build them to win wars..
Russia is doing exactly what we all should be doing. Making our own processes/ products. Manufacturing in our own nations not only puts people back k to work but opens many opportunities for the trade sector. Russia will begin to export its manufacturing
Your guest is telling the truth. I’m a high-end geek by trade and I’ve been shouting into the ether this same information for many months. Ask any high-end geek about what your guest is saying and they’ll nod in agreement. The media narratives about chip sanctions hurting weapons systems was only ever a viable psy op against non-geeks. The parts inside these missiles (etc) are so simple you could hardly believe it’s a cutting-edge weapon. But that’s the truth. “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” -Gell-Mann amnesia effect, described by Michael Crichton
Well, Dr Chriton's explanation is good enough for me. Never understood why people thought you needed something like a PS5 CPU in a guided missile. Its not Skippy the gun from Cyberpunk 2077
"..... entire world laughing....." Actually, rest of the world, outside Western bubble is happily cooperating with Russia. As clearly demonstrated by the fiasco of the "Peace Summit" in Switzerland two weeks ago. BRICS is growing fast.
In 2024, the first domestic lithograph was created in Russia. It enables the production of chips up to 350 nanometers in size. Testing of the new lithograph is taking place in Zelenograd, one of the centers of Russian microelectronics. The creation of this equipment represents an important achievement for the Russian industry, since such complex devices are assembled by only a few major players in the world. The most famous among them is the Dutch company ASML, as well as the Japanese corporations Canon and Nikon.
Ok, I think it needs to be clarified. Russia *has* better production lines, but they are imported. If this one is actually fully produced in Russia - it is a big deal.

@@bumble-g2j "..... dictator....." It seems that we have some troubles with meaning of the words.

On other side, we have country that jailed a leader of second largest party in the country, forbidden all opposition parties and throwned them out of Parliament. Government controls all of media. Very strong censorship. President whose mandate expired. Yet, we call it democracy. I'm confused.
Yes you are confused but this will help. Russia is a dictatorship. Putin believes that any elections, referendums etc reflect confirmation of his power. That's what he refers to as democracy. Exactly that. That to him IS democracy at work. In Ukraine they are a democracy which because of overwhelming force crossing their border, suspended parliament and are acting under emergency powers. Their government as elected in 2019 are still operating. The special powers are still in force. So one country is a dictatorship conducting an SMO. The other is a democracy conducting total war. Now you don't need to be confused although after 2 years the slowness should be considered a little worrying in an adult. You are an adult, no?

The highest technology chip in the f-35 is a 45nm node. That's the same as the original iPhone 16 years ago. And that f-35 is probably by far the most computational heavy fighter ever. But that's all it will ever need & actually it could have gotten by with a much less powerful chip. The calculations needed to put a ballistic missile on target or a cruise missile or even a javelin are a few hundreds of orders of magnitude less computationally intensive than what you need to edit and render a video in a timely fashion on Davinci Resolve. People have no idea that high tech weapons almost never require bleeding edge technology. At the beginning of the war the only thing I thought the Russians might be at a deficit to Ukraine was night fighting sensors but not even this turned out to be the case.
One fact people seem to forget about Russia is it already has every resource that it could ever want, with a relatively small population for the size of the land. There is no way to sanction that. they will always be able to supply everything locally. It's convenient to import things from other countries where they have invested time to enhance their products, but it's really not a big loss to be 1 or 2 generations behind in a product. Most people will have realised that computers have basically peaked now, and very few advancements are coming these days. A ten year old computer can do 90% of the things a new computer can do, and it's only at the very high end where it might make any sort of difference.
I think that politicians are selected for incompetence. All they have to do is look at videos from back in the 1991 Gulf war, showing guided missiles that were accurate enough to hit a window or doorway. It's 34+ year old tech.
"...... Russia allredy has everything......" Yes. "Small detail" that somhow escapes all our estemed pundits, when they laugh at Russia's miniscule GDP, (on the level of Italy or Spain or something). Russia has all resources imagineable and energy, wright at home, in unlimited quantities, owned by the state. They don't have to buy anything. Add to that almost no debt and huge gold reserves. Plus educated personel on all levels, to run military industry. And said industry kept ready at all times with over capacity for fast scaling up if need be. You really need to be blinded by arrogance, hubris, magical thinking, ignorance about Russian history,........(like our elites seems to be, living in their bubble) to think that Russia was an easy prey. By the way, Russia is actually 4th economy in the world by PPP. According to the World Bank
Sanctions create a black market People are very greedy so where there is a fast buck to be made some one will jump in to make it . There is not a CEO on the planet who would not sell his own grandmother into sex slavery for a suitcase full of gold bars held in a tax haven that could not be traced . And when you can no longer get components electronic engineers will find a work around , that is what they do , make the stuff that electronics architects think up actually work and be able to be produced at a reasonable cost . There is nothing that a chip can do that can not be done with individual components a peg board and lots of wires . IT will just be a lot bigger and consume a lot more power . After all the Afghanis made quite effective bombs using obsolete phone parts . Why do you think third world countries buy so much E-scrap . In the West we buy it to recover the precious metals Other countries buy it to recover the parts to be used in other items . As for desoldering chips from a board, what does he think missile electronics technicians do day in day out ? They repair guidance boards and that often requires replacing chips which unlike those in a computer all have to be hard soldered onto the boards & not in sockets . As for old technology , there is a super computer in Japan made entirely from old G4 mac motherboards that is still in use today for doing computer modelling & simulations . I still use my old 1990 Quadra for writing articles because the old O40 motorolla Chip can still word process about 20 times faster than I can type and word perfect 4 make a much much smaller file size than any of todays bloat wear and of course the pre-press will apply their own typography so no need for me to do any fancy typesetting I do all of the graphics & art work using a old dual processor G4 and Photoshop 7 with a massive amount of memory using a ram disc as my temporary storage and hell is that fast . So I can not do 3 layer transparencies but the Web presses can not print that either so it does not matter . So no the sanctions did not stop smart weapons manufacture and putin is tossing a lot of money into weapons manufacture OTOH the russian are not making as much as many seem to think as may of the recovered debris reveals that the missiles were only a month or less old and in case you have not noticed, overnight missile attacks come in waves, usually one or two a month because the russian are firing a lot of them as fast as they are making them. However when russia starts popping out five SU35's a month I will believe that the sanctions have had no effect . The stuff that is near impossible for russia to make are air defence systems They have only 2 S-500's and they are not making much in the way of S-300 & S-400 at the moment. They are not making the T-19 Amarda tank because they can not get parts for it They are not making SU-57's for the same reason. OTOH the financial sanctions are having a drastic effect both in russia & China . Your guest was very much right about the media over hyping things they do not understand So a slight possibility gets reported as a possibility which gets re-reported as a probability which in turn becomes a certainly and then absolutely without fail. We used to call it Chinese whispering as a game when I was a kid .
Bottom line. Russia is far more intelligent, have a very long history of adapting to the situation and succeeding in overcoming the challenge, has leadership that puts the security of the nations culture, traditions and customs first. Such a pity that Russia is bagged when they have a clean, safe and prosperous nation. We could learn so much if we didn't have the indoctrination from the west since 1991.
We Sanctioned The USSR for it's entire history. Yet a major problem for allllll our Hydroelectric Energy plants in the entire West was solved by an Englishman working in New Zealand Hydroelectric who went to Russia visited a plant and they gave him the technical plans of how they fixed the problem as he left the country. He made millions from it.. We sanctioned China for the whole of it's Communist Era..when we forced them onto the WTO their Representative at The Sydney Conference where they were officially membered said in his speech " When in 10 to 15 years we have decimated your secondary and tertiary industries do not blame us, you forced us into this" Russia like China sent out students into every major University in the World from 1989 onwards. Every developed research academy and University in every field had Chinese and Russian students and research scientists working with them. For 30 years.
Should be no surprise that the Russians have more than enough access to reliable and effective manufacture of digital electronic components, and surely have many engineers trained in their principles, design and usage.
The St Petersburg International Economic Forum had over 19,000 world leaders, business leaders and media from 139 countries including Western countries!

You know, in a country that has its own space program and aviation production, there are unlikely to be problems with electronic components for weapons. You know what kind of equipment is used on spacecraft, right? It's way behind what's installed on your laptop, but it's still the best. Fun fact: the Soviets had their own shuttle program in the 80s - Buran. And he landed in automatic unmanned mode. Do you know which media the autopilot program was recorded on? On a fucking magnetic tape. And the funny thing is that on the very first flight, he estimated the landing trajectory was unsuccessful and went to the second round. After which he successfully sat down!
I think its simpler than that. Putin knew America wouldn't go to war, so they would use sanctions. Putin thus spent years insulating Russia against sanctions as much as possible.
Everyone is basically trying to insulate their economy against sanctions these days. That is why over 50 nations now want to be members of BRICS. It offers an opportunity for free trade without vulnerability to sanctions, because USA now has economic sanctions against over 30% of the planet. Nobody knows who they are going to decide is not "democratic" enough for their liking next and slap with sweeping economic sanctions.
Sanctions work, but not always as intended, mostly hurt/injur civilians. Reducing efficiency and access to special products. Such as medicin, food, energy and so on.... A VERY blunt tool...

Willy is a chip off the old block. Sanctions failed because the world is moving forward leaving the Western bloc behind. My parents used to spend hours lecturing me on behavior and soon as it was over I carried on as if I hadn't heard a word they said. Learning on your own is exciting and inspiring. Being told how to act is boring and discouraging for innovation. Western nations aren't able to accept reality, so they develop artificial realities and spread them around as facts. China used to counterfeit western products, now they innovate and improve the products to be both more affordable and more useful to end users. While the western elites see this as a threat to their power dynamics it really is a lack of competitiveness from the western elites. China has a competitive edge on the western nations and it's driving them insane. Consumers on the other hand want sanctions and tariffs lifted so the products they consume are more affordable. Globalists didn't account for the impact sanctions would have on the consumers in their own countries. To ensure western corporations are competitive we must all pay a higher price for the same goods, this impact alone hurts them more in the long run as consumers cut back on spending. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Learned that in 4th grade science class Newton's 3rd law of motion.
Also arrogance, immorality and hypocrisy. Will the western states follow their US master blindly into the next proxy war against China or Iran despite the damage done to them by the Ukraine adventure?
That was from the world bank concerning the massive shifts of funds to military expenditure. I wonder if Putin would dare to raid pensioners savings again. Maybe that will send Russian stocks soaring through the roof if he did! Since this is all investment in rubble, twisted metal and mutilated bodies, the graph will take its expected nose dive shortly. BTW. The gdp still registers 11th and gdp per capita still rates below most second world economies. Around the 60th mark. Or worse. Now remember that Putin and his mates still expect their cut. At least Putin retains the rank of no.1 richest. Russia is blessed to have such a wise, thoughtful and innovative leader.
it hard to sanction Russian energy when some of the major stakeholders are NATO members, in 2023 15% of EU LNG came form Russia. ENGIE has 20% stake in Yamal project so has Mitsui. VLADIMIR RUSANOV, ice class tanker is on the way back to the Arctic after LNG delivery to Bilbo in Spain few days back. That's how the sanctions work in real life...
I'm a staunch pro-Russian supporter and multipolarist, but I like Willy OAM's contribution for a more balanced perspective. Of course, I know that Russia, China, Iran's Axis of Resistance, North Korea, and some others are on the right(eous) side of history, but I'm always inclined to Sun Tzu's wisdom: Know your enemy! Anyway, I'm still glad that we - the multipolarists - have an upper hand in this multidimensional conflict over satanic, fascist, and Zionist globalists. I hope you all have a terrific day!

30 seconds recap.... Russia has atleast 5 semiconductor chip factories... and for 99.9% weapons you font need high tech, 5 nanometer chip, coz weapons are not effected by 100 gram heavier chip or 300 grams heavier thermal batterie... maybee it will have 50 yards meters lower range, but that does not matter in reall war... and older tech is more reliable and eassier ,cheapper to produce...esc pecially in big numbers.... so maybe having older tech is even a plus,not a minus😂😂
In Willy’s comments I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about sanctions. Sanctions are only effective for the “carrot” - carrot being the lifting of sanctions, the “stick” is minimal, the stick - short term economic damage/pain. Long term sanctions are not effective due to the country eventually finding other markets/ways to produce. Even more true in today’s multi-polar world where there are markets specific for unfriendly western nations.

As soon as all the Solder has melted the chip will come free If the chip has pins you can just go ahead and solder it to the new pcb right away. If it has pads, especially if it has pads on the underside of the chip you need to remove any residual solder. Get your copper braid, apply flux and use your soldering iron and copper braid to wick away any solder. Once done chip is ready to be used. Make sure to test any electronics made from recycled chips before sending down the supply chain as the removal process can damage the chip. (Usually wont but a certain percentage will be damaged)
This would be ludicrous. These weapons are mass-produced with high volume. You think it's feasible to manually solder chips when they're using huge quantity?
@@evokanivo depends on what the huge quantity is and how difficult the chip is to solder. A basic chip with say 20 little legs? Personally I think I could desolder and resolder hundreds in a day. If those are used for missiles, ain't no way Russia is making hundreds in a day. Of course it's always better to have your PCBs assembled by a machine.... But I'm just saying it's not impossible to do it the hard way
@@justarandomname420 you don't even need that, you can use a toaster oven in a pinch. You just need to watch your PCBs like a hawk and get them out as soon as the solder flows or the board could get scorched (toaster ovens tend to get to hot)
This is where our leaders aren't asking advisors if their approach would work. With globalism being so prevalent the supplies to build weapons and feed people are readily available for all countries. Kind of blows my mind that the people making these failed policies did not consider the ramifications. Hopefully we'll find intelligent leaders that have enough backbone to make educated decisions and not care so much about headlines.

You talking rubbish. Sanctions in South Africa took 5 years to take apartheid down. And we had plenty gold to sell... It was isolation and moral issues that collapsed apartheid...not money.
A script would be nice since the quality of the sound is not very good. And I believe if you have night-vision googles which can discern an enemy at 400 yards, and the enemy can do this at 200 only, your advantage is not marginal - it is deadly crucial. Also, the question is wgqt is the percentage of the soldiers who actually have them. One point which was totally omitted - chips needed for the encrypted multi-layered communications.
I know exactly what your guest is on about, and you dont, or at least didn't. But your questions were remarkably pertinent, and well considered. This is a superb interview. You really deserve high praise for your method of inquiry. Damn youre good at this Willy.
Impact of sanctions on the Russian economy: In May, Russia's GDP growth accelerated from 4.4% to 4.5% in annual terms, according to data from the Ministry of Economy. In January-May, the Russian economy grew by 5% compared to the same period last year. According to the department, the main growth drivers are the manufacturing industry and construction. Thus, the production of computers, electronics and optics in January-May 2024 increased by almost 40% compared to the same period last year. There is also positive dynamics in the chemical and food industries. Electricity production increased by 3% in May. Production for 12 months set a historical record. Industrial production (about 30% of GDP) increased by 5.3% in May. The Moscow Exchange index in June amounted to 3,140 points (+14% per annum). The index has been growing since April last year (15 months). The real total return index increased compared to June last year (+10% per annum). It has also been growing since April 2023 (15 months). Based on the results of the first four months, the growth of real wages in Russia amounted to 10.5% compared to the same period last year, according to Rosstat data. The World Bank (WB) has recognized Russia as a high-income country. The financial institution published a document with this content on Monday, July 1. Data for countries around the world whose economies grew at double-digit (almost double-digit) rates for more than 20 years in the 20th century are given below: 1. 13.8% - Russia - average annual growth for 22 years (1929-1955). 2. 11.5% - Taiwan - average annual growth for 27 years (1947-1973). 3. 10.4% - China - average annual growth for 25 years (1983-2007). 4. 10.2% - South Korea - average annual growth for 23 years (1966-1988). 5. 9.7% - Japan - average annual growth for 23 years (1948-1970). 6. 9.2% - Singapore - average annual growth for 24 years (1966-1989). Thus, in the twentieth century, the world's largest national economic growth for more than 20 years was achieved in Russia in 1929-1955 (minus four war years). During this period, real wages grew 4 times, citizens’ deposits in savings banks grew 5 times, and the economy grew 14 times. And: - First place in the world in terms of the share of mechanical engineering in the total volume of industrial production. - Complete technical and economic independence of the state has been ensured. - First place in the world in terms of agricultural mechanization. - First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of absolute industry size. - First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of labor productivity in industry. - The latest industries and advanced technologies: nuclear, space, rocketry, aircraft manufacturing, instrument making, radio engineering, electronics, electrical engineering and others. From the point of view of the saturation of economic sectors with new equipment and technologies, the Russian economy and industry had the youngest production and technical apparatus in the world. And sanctions did not prevent such economic growth in Russia!
В России не производят чипы 45 нм. 90 нм есть... вроде как даже 65 нм... Другое дело хрен знает что там с литографами. но... для большинства задач, военные предпочитают использовать чипы 200+. Вес, размер, тепловыделение и производительность не имеет особого значения, когда речь заходит о танке или ракете. А вот стабильность и защищенность от помех(я не о РЭБ, а о радиационном излучении, например при ядерном взрыве), имеют куда большее значение. А тут... "толстый" техпроцесс кладет на обе лопатки "тонкий".
@@СерегаБосс-ч2в полагаю, что пока не будет своих литографов, осваивать техпроцесс нет смысла. Даже если ты научишься что-то делать на чужом оборудовании, это не добавит суверенитета. для автоматизации производства, достаточно 90 нм, а для ЦОД нужны хоть бы 28 нм. Но об этом лучше говорить ближе к 30-му году. Будут литографы, будут чипы... А производить чипы, будучи зависимым от оборудования и запчастей... дешевле просто купить.

Great recording. Thank you. Why would anyone think that Russia will be building weapons which depend on west? Given Soviet vs west standoff of the past?
@@bumble-g2jthe point is that Soviet and now Russian military technology is not dependent on western part and has not been, so presuming that Russian military production will fail based on sanctions is a mistake
Yes it is. China is gaining ground but they need to steal from the west to achieve parity. Putin is desperate. 1.5 million roubles in parts of Russia just as a joining fee. That's up to 40 times of the average monthly wages. THREE YEARS!!! Putin can't generally mobilise. A partial mobilisation saw an exodus of 1 million. 87.5%.popularity. Might as well be 875%.

Espionage 101......"the shopping list"....from what your advasery seeks, you learn the products he has not got..........you poor bugger you must be absolutely starving mate 😂😂😂😂😂
The United States uses the same chips in its weapons as Russia. Armies are always conservative. 7, 15, 20, 45 nanometers are not needed for classic types of weapons, this is not an iPhone.
Sanctions - A Sanction works only if the one that applies the Sanction does not need products from the person they are applying Sanctions on! Also if you apply a Sanction. against another. That person has not got to have the raw materials required to build the end product of the item that you have Sanctioned! Russia has and produces every precise metal required to manufacture virtually "everything"!!! Taiwan produces great chips.........With materials provided by RUSSIA 🇷🇺. As I've tried to explain to you many times, "You cannot Sanction a country that provides the world with its raw materials!!" Or from the one saying you have learnt. The west "has the watches, but Russia has the time"!
Interesting. Another critical factor is any flying weapon system is delicately designed to balance. Like a bicycle, if the wheels are off-balance, you as the rider will definitely notice. Complex weapon systems take years to design and develop, one factor is ensuring it is correctly balanced to ensure its flight characterizes are optimal. Image the effects on its guidance system.
Hi Willy, great content, I hardly miss an episode, but please stop adding those "I really need to take a shit" thumbnail photos of yourself. It won't make a difference if you add something else.
Shows how western propaganda and hubris has done a number on legitimate analysts. Especially concerning how these sanctions were supposed to cripple Russia's military industrial complex. A lot of the Chinese and other nations military technology is a result of Russia and Soviet Union's willingness to transfer military technology to begin with so why would people believe they needed western parts to begin with. Any attemp to monopolize or contain the tech industry wether civilian or military has always been laughable. This effort only pushes other nations to produce alternatives that are often cheaper with less redtapes as we saw with Iran and its mass production of Drones or China's Huawei.
fella knows his stuff. the sort of stuff that could make a difference is newer chip designs and software tactics. say the west makes new AI chip designs that run autonomous software for drones. even if the russians capture one it would be hard to copy both hardware and software.
The guy speaking is very quickly in the weeds. He has general technology knowledge, in my opinion. He's correct and everything can be summed up with "Russia has no issues obtaining chips and technologies to make weapons". It's ridiculous to think otherwise. But ... the guy speaking in this video has zero knowledge about what technology is required for state-of-the-art weapons including hardware and software. Weapons using AI or some sort of image processing and weapons with hyper-sonic technology may require state-of-the-art chips that Russia can't produce easily. It's feasible to believe that the features in state-of-the-art weapons are limited by how good the technology is
@@bobmorane2082 speed requires faster response time. stabilizers and other things to compensate against turbulence. you're getting into the realm where you suddenly need a lot of sensors.

Hey Legends, A huge thankyou for Mr V for helping me,
This is the video he was referring to below, When we first spoke about the potential Russia has for modifying laser guidance into a Tornado S ''A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon the Tornado-S ammunition circuitry video. I notice that this circuit had too many jumper wires. Jumper wires are something that are frowned upon in circuit design. They are sometimes needed if your circuit has only two layers, but if your circuit is multi layered, you shouldn't be any need of jumper wires. This circuit is definitely multi-layered. The nut and bolt on the left of the video at 7:01 time stamp holds the layers together and connects the grounds or VDDs of all layers. So, there is no reason for the jumper wires.
This makes me think that a modification to the circuitry is made at the last minute. It is impossible to say the modification, but it is plausible that Russian engineers MacGyvered an extra sensor to make the missile laser guided. Such modifications are child's play if you are dealing with FPGAs. But for the Tornado-S circuit, the processor is an MPGA, which is not programmable. Still, the MPGA might have been designed with the possibility of a future modification in mind, or some other guidance system might be overridden in favour of the laser guidance.''

But they are perfectly of capable of producing whatever they want. Who do you think has been carrying the US`s crap into space and retrieving their astronauts for the las 40 years.
USSR produced domestically space technology behind iron curtain that could hold the candle against best of the best NASA technology. Russian engineers are not how they were portrayed by Hollywood
BTW, Willy, apparently Krynky holds. Time for a victory lap :)
Check how asml machinery is sold to russia
Russia uses 30nm chips in most of their weapons which can be produced inside russia or anywhere in the world, it's a 20 years old technology, the chips in your weapon needs to be reliable not state of the art
Moreover, they are much more reliable than new ones even just because manufacturers have 20 years of refining its production process. Also it makes them cheaper as fuck. Producing effective modern weapons with 20 year old cheap chips - this is a worthy task for capable and professional military engineering bureaus, while newest and most powerful cheaps are just brute force. Like, yeah, now you have cutting edge weapons without putting much of a thought, but its not very reliable and most important, its expensive as hell. "Its okay i have infinite money glitch!" said Pentagon. Turns out, even infinite-ish money are not enough if your enemy can produce the roughly the same things but several orders of magnitude cheaper and dozens of times faster and more.
Russia does not manufacture mems chips, and you can't make missiles and drones wihtout them.
@@dieselphiend China makes 35% of the world's MEMS chips and will gladly supply Russia if need be. They also refuse to be bullied by the USA.
@@PaIaeoCIive1648 Where are you getting that figure? It's my understanding that China "Virtually all the MEMS wafers are fabricated outside of the country and imported as wafers, chips or packaged devices.".. Mems are western technology. That's where they were invented.
@@AtticusKarpenter You don't need mems (micro-electromechanical systems) to make a missile to fly. They just make things smaller. But also mems are less precise than classic systems. You can't make a drone to navigate using only mems, for example.
Former CIA economic consultant Jim Rikards wrote a book on iranian sanctions and how Russia was helping Iran back then. That book was published in 2011, meaning public knowledge was available long ago, while Russia was getting directly first hand info and experience on "how-to-handle-your economy if you're sanctioned oil exporting country" from Iran. Russians were well informed before 2014.
Excellent information. But realistically no intelligent person should ever have thought Russia could be sanctioned. They’re an energy and good exporter with lots of heavy industry and first rate scientists and engineers, and freaking CHINA has an utterly compelling interest in supporting them. For so, so many reasons that even a senile blob like Biden should have been able to work this out - it gives them a chance to break US influence globally, and Ukraine has to be scaring the hell out of Taiwan. (And the US’s destruction of its ally’s energy supply even more so.)
Ironically, China COULD meaningfully sanction the USA. They’re not just a major industrial power but also the biggest producer of the rare earths needed for semiconductors. If they cut those off, the US economy collapses.
Sanctions on itself do nothing against a resource country.
When it comes to the endless row of countries western fascism ruined, it was always WAY more than sanctions, but active meddling in the economy via regime change or buying corrupt oligarchs and worse.
I remember the first sanctions in 2014. After sanctioning Russia by EU, Putin stopped the import of fruit and vegetables from EU. Putin was ridiculed that his people will suffer. Putin responded by allowing imports from Brazil and other countries and also funded his farmers. Well today they are selft reliant. Russia is not Zimbabwe
so self reliant still buy bunch of shit from other countries
@@demivik5812 its called trade. take your shirt and look at the label.
@@Montalva exactly, it's called trade, not self reliance
Yes, the sanctions actually helped, as an example, the growth of wine and cheese making in Russia.
France, which banned those exports to Russia, simply damaged their own industries now AND FOR THE FUTURE.
@demivik5812 What he meant is that they can rely on good and fair relationship with partners rather than "western partners". Since 2014 Russia produces a much more domestic products, sanctions has boosted their own producers to fill that gap in the market. I keep coming across your comments now and then, it looks like you are driven by your anger and hate rather than common sense and analysis. You hear only what you want to hear and ignore he rest
There are no difficulties with the production of microchips for weapons and military equipment in Russia. There is no need to use microchips for smartphones in a high-precision missile.A manufacturer of bombs, missiles, and airplanes does not need a pea-sized chip. He will be satisfied with a processor the size of a matchbox or even a brick. The dimensions of the Kalibr cruise missile are 8 meters long and 0.5 meters in diameter. A chip the size of a brick can definitely be placed there. The laptop in the 80s had a 12 MHz processor and 4 MB RAM. The Tomahawk cruise missile of the 80s remains relevant today.
The tomahawk is at block 5 tho I guess it means gen 5
@@bobmorane2082 Ukraine used Tochka-U ("Point-U") Soviet missiles before Himars, and they was decently useful considering they are old as fuck, i think its not even 80s
Russia doesn't make any MEMS chips, and you can't make a missile or a drone without them.
@@dieselphiend - BS, educate yourself, Russia produce its own military chips for more than 20 years, dude !

China is the world's biggest chip manufacturer, and are more than happy to trade them for russian oil, gas, food, nuclear tech, fighters, etc.
@@dieselphiendJust google for "gyroscope"
It is possible to expand this topic. If you remember, the statement that Russia will run out of electronics is just one statement from a long list. You may recall how it was claimed that the Russian financial system would collapse due to disconnection from Swift. That Russia will run out of ammunition. I remember how one European resident came out to me, who was sure that because of the sanctions in Russia, people were dying of hunger. I tried to convince him to check where the grain was coming from in Europe. But he wasn't able to hear me. At the same time, when all these grain deals began, he did not want to talk to me at all. His head was occupied with other myths about the disaster in Russia. Misunderstanding the situation with electronics is not an exception to the rule. This is a symptom of a much more dangerous phenomenon. You notice the same symptoms in Zelensky's military tactics. In a topic that you understand. When military operations are preferred to the defense of the most important areas, which can be favorably covered in the media. When the military leadership does not understand why expensive equipment will not replace a boot for a soldier. There are situations when two people argue about how to achieve the desired result. This is acceptable if each of them understands the issue. And the goal of every debater is to find the best option. But it's a disaster if the goal of one of the disputants is only to win the dispute. He doesn't care about the case, he just needs to win the argument. Therefore, he will deliberately make false statements, and refuse to accept any logic. Simply, a sober vision of the situation gives you an advantage over an opponent with great capabilities. But trapped in illusions.
i think the problem in the west is that people have become mentally lazy.also the propaganda has become worse than the soviet union .
Zelensky understands everything perfectly fine. He also understands that he won't survive if he doesn't continue fighting and selling the war to the western audience and misrepresenting the successes to get more weapons to continue the war. His personal frontline is all around him, particularly in the western parts of Ukraine
Sanctioning a nation that is a major exporter of food, resources and energy is simply impossible. On the other hand one can sanction an importer country.
Sanctions work, though they also made Russia a Vasal of China, similar to North Korea.

The highest technology chip in the f-35 is a 45nm node. That's the same as the original iPhone 16 years ago. And that f-35 is probably by far the most computational heavy fighter ever. But that's all it will ever need & actually it could have gotten by with a much less powerful chip. The calculations needed to put a ballistic missile on target or a cruise missile or even a javelin are a few hundreds of orders of magnitude less computationally intensive than what you need to edit and render a video in a timely fashion on Davinci Resolve. People have no idea that high tech weapons almost never require bleeding edge technology. At the beginning of the war the only thing I thought the Russians might be at a deficit to Ukraine was night fighting sensors but not even this turned out to be the case.
One fact people seem to forget about Russia is it already has every resource that it could ever want, with a relatively small population for the size of the land. There is no way to sanction that. they will always be able to supply everything locally. It's convenient to import things from other countries where they have invested time to enhance their products, but it's really not a big loss to be 1 or 2 generations behind in a product. Most people will have realised that computers have basically peaked now, and very few advancements are coming these days. A ten year old computer can do 90% of the things a new computer can do, and it's only at the very high end where it might make any sort of difference.
I think that politicians are selected for incompetence. All they have to do is look at videos from back in the 1991 Gulf war, showing guided missiles that were accurate enough to hit a window or doorway. It's 34+ year old tech.
"...... Russia allredy has everything......"
Yes. "Small detail" that somhow escapes all our estemed pundits, when they laugh at Russia's miniscule GDP, (on the level of Italy or Spain or something). Russia has all resources imagineable and energy, wright at home, in unlimited quantities, owned by the state. They don't have to buy anything. Add to that almost no debt and huge gold reserves. Plus educated personel on all levels, to run military industry. And said industry kept ready at all times with over capacity for fast scaling up if need be.
You really need to be blinded by arrogance, hubris, magical thinking, ignorance about Russian history,........(like our elites seems to be, living in their bubble) to think that Russia was an easy prey.
By the way, Russia is actually 4th economy in the world by PPP. According to the World Bank
Good. For a moment there I was expecting you to say that sanctions were pointless.
They're making Russia Tuffia.
😂😂😂😂😂
Did anyone really think that youd need a 4090 to build guided missiles?
Sanctions create a black market
People are very greedy so where there is a fast buck to be made some one will jump in to make it .
There is not a CEO on the planet who would not sell his own grandmother into sex slavery for a suitcase full of gold bars held in a tax haven that could not be traced .
And when you can no longer get components electronic engineers will find a work around , that is what they do , make the stuff that electronics architects think up actually work and be able to be produced at a reasonable cost .
There is nothing that a chip can do that can not be done with individual components a peg board and lots of wires .
IT will just be a lot bigger and consume a lot more power .
After all the Afghanis made quite effective bombs using obsolete phone parts .
Why do you think third world countries buy so much E-scrap .
In the West we buy it to recover the precious metals
Other countries buy it to recover the parts to be used in other items .
As for desoldering chips from a board, what does he think missile electronics technicians do day in day out ?
They repair guidance boards and that often requires replacing chips which unlike those in a computer all have to be hard soldered onto the boards & not in sockets .
As for old technology , there is a super computer in Japan made entirely from old G4 mac motherboards that is still in use today for doing computer modelling & simulations .
I still use my old 1990 Quadra for writing articles because the old O40 motorolla Chip can still word process about 20 times faster than I can type and word perfect 4 make a much much smaller file size than any of todays bloat wear and of course the pre-press will apply their own typography so no need for me to do any fancy typesetting
I do all of the graphics & art work using a old dual processor G4 and Photoshop 7 with a massive amount of memory using a ram disc as my temporary storage and hell is that fast .
So I can not do 3 layer transparencies but the Web presses can not print that either so it does not matter .
So no the sanctions did not stop smart weapons manufacture and putin is tossing a lot of money into weapons manufacture
OTOH the russian are not making as much as many seem to think as may of the recovered debris reveals that the missiles were only a month or less old and in case you have not noticed, overnight missile attacks come in waves, usually one or two a month because the russian are firing a lot of them as fast as they are making them.
However when russia starts popping out five SU35's a month I will believe that the sanctions have had no effect .
The stuff that is near impossible for russia to make are air defence systems
They have only 2 S-500's and they are not making much in the way of S-300 & S-400 at the moment.
They are not making the T-19 Amarda tank because they can not get parts for it
They are not making SU-57's for the same reason.
OTOH the financial sanctions are having a drastic effect both in russia & China .
Your guest was very much right about the media over hyping things they do not understand
So a slight possibility gets reported as a possibility which gets re-reported as a probability which in turn becomes a certainly and then absolutely without fail.
We used to call it Chinese whispering as a game when I was a kid .
Bottom line. Russia is far more intelligent, have a very long history of adapting to the situation and succeeding in overcoming the challenge, has leadership that puts the security of the nations culture, traditions and customs first. Such a pity that Russia is bagged when they have a clean, safe and prosperous nation. We could learn so much if we didn't have the indoctrination from the west since 1991.
People forget that your smartphone has more computing power that what was used to get to the moon. Hell, a Ti-84 calculator has more..

Western sanction: WHY ARE THEY NOT WORKING!?
We Sanctioned The USSR for it's entire history. Yet a major problem for allllll our Hydroelectric Energy plants in the entire West was solved by an Englishman working in New Zealand Hydroelectric who went to Russia visited a plant and they gave him the technical plans of how they fixed the problem as he left the country. He made millions from it..
We sanctioned China for the whole of it's Communist Era..when we forced them onto the WTO their Representative at The Sydney Conference where they were officially membered said in his speech " When in 10 to 15 years we have decimated your secondary and tertiary industries do not blame us, you forced us into this"
Russia like China sent out students into every major University in the World from 1989 onwards.
Every developed research academy and University in every field had Chinese and Russian students and research scientists working with them. For 30 years.
Should be no surprise that the Russians have more than enough access to reliable and effective manufacture of digital electronic components, and surely have many engineers trained in their principles, design and usage.
Top journalism from Willy. Benchmark level stuff.
The St Petersburg International Economic Forum had over 19,000 world leaders, business leaders and media from 139 countries including Western countries! Also in June the first BRICS Games were held in Kazan. Athletes from 90 countries showed up. Like it or not, 85% of the world's countries are WITH Russia. Russia can get whatever it needs from or through these countries. Also, I'm the one who may still have relatives living in Ukraine.

Could you imagine Mercouris a'leapin' and a'jumpin' from his critics?
He never will because he will never allow his views to be scrutinised in his presence.
Any other useful predictions from those n*zis?
You know, in a country that has its own space program and aviation production, there are unlikely to be problems with electronic components for weapons. You know what kind of equipment is used on spacecraft, right? It's way behind what's installed on your laptop, but it's still the best. Fun fact: the Soviets had their own shuttle program in the 80s - Buran. And he landed in automatic unmanned mode. Do you know which media the autopilot program was recorded on? On a fucking magnetic tape. And the funny thing is that on the very first flight, he estimated the landing trajectory was unsuccessful and went to the second round. After which he successfully sat down!
I think its simpler than that. Putin knew America wouldn't go to war, so they would use sanctions. Putin thus spent years insulating Russia against sanctions as much as possible.
Everyone is basically trying to insulate their economy against sanctions these days.
That is why over 50 nations now want to be members of BRICS. It offers an opportunity for free trade without vulnerability to sanctions, because USA now has economic sanctions against over 30% of the planet.
Nobody knows who they are going to decide is not "democratic" enough for their liking next and slap with sweeping economic sanctions.
We should start making peace not war.
Synopsis: Sanctions are a joke

>>>I guess it was the 12th or 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. I got a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor, and they didn’t.
“So as they were walking out to the press conference, I said, nah, we aren’t going to give you the billion dollars. They said you have no authority, you are not the President. I said call him. I’m telling you, you are not getting the billion dollars.
“You are not getting the billion; I am leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.>If you put aside the immense human suffering and look at Ukraine’s war through the cold lens of international power politics, a clear picture emerges: the West is having a good war against Russia.
All NATO has to do is send Kyiv munitions, equipment and money, which, as any general knows, is the c h e a p e s t way to wage war.
(...)
The lives are being given by the Ukrainians. They’re defending their nation but also, inadvertently, helping decide the Cold War.
For 70 years, NATO deterred a Moscow attack westwards. The Russians eventually invaded, last February, what they assumed would be a conquerable target on their south-western border.
The war that NATO long prepared for is finally being fought.

Excellent comment 👍
Well that was a load of tired cliches.
You clearly have never spoke with a Ukrainian, they are more than willing to continue the fight with Russia until Ukraine is entirely free from Putin.
Russia operates under the 20 / 80 rule. It takes 80% of the allotted funds to achieve 80% of the desired performance but it takes 80% of the allotted funds to achieve the last 20% of performance. Russia simply accepts 80% performance and builds 80% more of the product. On the battlefield, Russia comes out ahead.
Willy is a chip off the old block. Sanctions failed because the world is moving forward leaving the Western bloc behind. My parents used to spend hours lecturing me on behavior and soon as it was over I carried on as if I hadn't heard a word they said. Learning on your own is exciting and inspiring. Being told how to act is boring and discouraging for innovation. Western nations aren't able to accept reality, so they develop artificial realities and spread them around as facts. China used to counterfeit western products, now they innovate and improve the products to be both more affordable and more useful to end users. While the western elites see this as a threat to their power dynamics it really is a lack of competitiveness from the western elites. China has a competitive edge on the western nations and it's driving them insane. Consumers on the other hand want sanctions and tariffs lifted so the products they consume are more affordable. Globalists didn't account for the impact sanctions would have on the consumers in their own countries. To ensure western corporations are competitive we must all pay a higher price for the same goods, this impact alone hurts them more in the long run as consumers cut back on spending. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Learned that in 4th grade science class Newton's 3rd law of motion.
We all know greed will end the west

Didn’t Russia just become the like the fifth biggest economy after Japan. WHAT SANCTIONS!
That was from the world bank concerning the massive shifts of funds to military expenditure.
I wonder if Putin would dare to raid pensioners savings again.
Maybe that will send Russian stocks soaring through the roof if he did!
Since this is all investment in rubble, twisted metal and mutilated bodies, the graph will take its expected nose dive shortly.
BTW. The gdp still registers 11th and gdp per capita still rates below most second world economies.
Around the 60th mark. Or worse.
Now remember that Putin and his mates still expect their cut.
At least Putin retains the rank of no.1 richest.
Russia is blessed to have such a wise, thoughtful and innovative leader.
it hard to sanction Russian energy when some of the major stakeholders are NATO members, in 2023 15% of EU LNG came form Russia. ENGIE has 20% stake in Yamal project so has Mitsui. VLADIMIR RUSANOV, ice class tanker is on the way back to the Arctic after LNG delivery to Bilbo in Spain few days back. That's how the sanctions work in real life...
The real victims are Russian teenagers who can't play Street Fighter 6
They don't play Street Fighter 6 on PS4. They get to play Call of Duty in real life.
They have plenty of ways to get it and play, like buying it via Turkish or Kazakhstan account, so it not a problem at all
Excelent piece of journalism Willy. The washer machine stories make more sense now.
I'm a staunch pro-Russian supporter and multipolarist, but I like Willy OAM's contribution for a more balanced perspective. Of course, I know that Russia, China, Iran's Axis of Resistance, North Korea, and some others are on the right(eous) side of history, but I'm always inclined to Sun Tzu's wisdom: Know your enemy! Anyway, I'm still glad that we - the multipolarists - have an upper hand in this multidimensional conflict over satanic, fascist, and Zionist globalists. I hope you all have a terrific day!
Ohhh....Willy , don't cry 😢 so disappointing for you to find out the West is not surpirier to Russia 😅

30 seconds recap....
Russia has atleast 5 semiconductor chip factories...
and for 99.9% weapons you font need high tech, 5 nanometer chip, coz weapons are not effected by 100 gram heavier chip or 300 grams heavier thermal batterie...
maybee it will have 50 yards meters lower range, but that does not matter in reall war...
and older tech is more reliable and eassier ,cheapper to produce...esc
pecially in big numbers....
so maybe having older tech is even a plus,not a minus😂😂

The countries that have the raw materials for chips are too poor to sanction anyone. North Korea will become a major chip manufacturer in the future.
Its not that they're stealing chips from washing machines but that the chips they're using are of the same level of technology.
In Willy’s comments I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about sanctions. Sanctions are only effective for the “carrot” - carrot being the lifting of sanctions, the “stick” is minimal, the stick - short term economic damage/pain. Long term sanctions are not effective due to the country eventually finding other markets/ways to produce. Even more true in today’s multi-polar world where there are markets specific for unfriendly western nations.
Regarding removing and reusing chips. Its doable, its not even that hard. You get your tweezers, you get your heat gun and you start blowing while very gently tugging. As soon as all the Solder has melted the chip will come free
If the chip has pins you can just go ahead and solder it to the new pcb right away. If it has pads, especially if it has pads on the underside of the chip you need to remove any residual solder. Get your copper braid, apply flux and use your soldering iron and copper braid to wick away any solder. Once done chip is ready to be used.
Make sure to test any electronics made from recycled chips before sending down the supply chain as the removal process can damage the chip. (Usually wont but a certain percentage will be damaged)
Get a reflow oven.
This would be ludicrous. These weapons are mass-produced with high volume. You think it's feasible to manually solder chips when they're using huge quantity?
@@evokanivodepends how huge 1 person can do this in 10-15min
@@evokanivo depends on what the huge quantity is and how difficult the chip is to solder.
A basic chip with say 20 little legs? Personally I think I could desolder and resolder hundreds in a day.
If those are used for missiles, ain't no way Russia is making hundreds in a day.
Of course it's always better to have your PCBs assembled by a machine.... But I'm just saying it's not impossible to do it the hard way
@@justarandomname420 you don't even need that, you can use a toaster oven in a pinch. You just need to watch your PCBs like a hawk and get them out as soon as the solder flows or the board could get scorched (toaster ovens tend to get to hot)
Not only can Russia design and produce chips but they are also capable to produce fabrication equipment (fabs) for chips.
This is where our leaders aren't asking advisors if their approach would work. With globalism being so prevalent the supplies to build weapons and feed people are readily available for all countries. Kind of blows my mind that the people making these failed policies did not consider the ramifications. Hopefully we'll find intelligent leaders that have enough backbone to make educated decisions and not care so much about headlines.
The Phoenix rises out of the ashes of the Soviet Union to become a super power again even greater than the Soviet Union and bringing the global south along for a joy ride
Fully agree 👍

It was isolation and moral issues that collapsed apartheid...not money.
A script would be nice since the quality of the sound is not very good.
And I believe if you have night-vision googles which can discern an enemy at 400 yards, and the enemy can do this at 200 only, your advantage is not marginal - it is deadly crucial. Also, the question is wgqt is the percentage of the soldiers who actually have them.
One point which was totally omitted - chips needed for the encrypted multi-layered communications.

Impact of sanctions on the Russian economy:
In May, Russia's GDP growth accelerated from 4.4% to 4.5% in annual terms, according to data from the Ministry of Economy. In January-May, the Russian economy grew by 5% compared to the same period last year.
According to the department, the main growth drivers are the manufacturing industry and construction. Thus, the production of computers, electronics and optics in January-May 2024 increased by almost 40% compared to the same period last year. There is also positive dynamics in the chemical and food industries.
Electricity production increased by 3% in May. Production for 12 months set a historical record.
Industrial production (about 30% of GDP) increased by 5.3% in May.
The Moscow Exchange index in June amounted to 3,140 points (+14% per annum). The index has been growing since April last year (15 months).
The real total return index increased compared to June last year (+10% per annum). It has also been growing since April 2023 (15 months).
Based on the results of the first four months, the growth of real wages in Russia amounted to 10.5% compared to the same period last year, according to Rosstat data.
The World Bank (WB) has recognized Russia as a high-income country. The financial institution published a document with this content on Monday, July 1.
Data for countries around the world whose economies grew at double-digit (almost double-digit) rates for more than 20 years in the 20th century are given below:
1. 13.8% - Russia - average annual growth for 22 years (1929-1955).
2. 11.5% - Taiwan - average annual growth for 27 years (1947-1973).
3. 10.4% - China - average annual growth for 25 years (1983-2007).
4. 10.2% - South Korea - average annual growth for 23 years (1966-1988).
5. 9.7% - Japan - average annual growth for 23 years (1948-1970).
6. 9.2% - Singapore - average annual growth for 24 years (1966-1989).
Thus, in the twentieth century, the world's largest national economic growth for more than 20 years was achieved in Russia in 1929-1955 (minus four war years). During this period, real wages grew 4 times, citizens’ deposits in savings banks grew 5 times, and the economy grew 14 times.
And:
- First place in the world in terms of the share of mechanical engineering in the total volume of industrial production.
- Complete technical and economic independence of the state has been ensured.
- First place in the world in terms of agricultural mechanization.
- First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of absolute industry size.
- First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of labor productivity in industry.
- The latest industries and advanced technologies: nuclear, space, rocketry, aircraft manufacturing, instrument making, radio engineering, electronics, electrical engineering and others. From the point of view of the saturation of economic sectors with new equipment and technologies, the Russian economy and industry had the youngest production and technical apparatus in the world.
And sanctions did not prevent such economic growth in Russia!

В России не производят чипы 45 нм. 90 нм есть... вроде как даже 65 нм... Другое дело хрен знает что там с литографами. но... для большинства задач, военные предпочитают использовать чипы 200+. Вес, размер, тепловыделение и производительность не имеет особого значения, когда речь заходит о танке или ракете. А вот стабильность и защищенность от помех(я не о РЭБ, а о радиационном излучении, например при ядерном взрыве), имеют куда большее значение. А тут... "толстый" техпроцесс кладет на обе лопатки "тонкий".

Q: Why didn’t sanctions work?
A: Because Sanctions Never Work (EVER)
Sanctions often work against small countries to undercut their power or influence political decisions.
@@evokanivo Point taken… was thinking of Sanctions against “Majorish” powers… South Africa is a good example of ineffectual international sanctions, though the public push for divesting was effective. This is why the whole boycott/divest from Israel dealio has such powerful forces arrayed against it.

Are you seriously contending that Russia can equal the west technologically?
Your devotion to Russia is not admirable.
@@bumble-g2jthe point is that Soviet and now Russian military technology is not dependent on western part and has not been, so presuming that Russian military production will fail based on sanctions is a mistake

Putin is desperate.

i think this is your best interview ever, even better than some of the front line interviews.
Your talking about this now?
So basically Russia is using faster, cheaper, more reliable chips, compared to US?
Increase use of dedicated chips.
Less flexible perhaps, but who care?
The United States uses the same chips in its weapons as Russia. Armies are always conservative. 7, 15, 20, 45 nanometers are not needed for classic types of weapons, this is not an iPhone.
Does that mean that Russia shouldn't have a problem with producing AESA radars?
Sanctions - A Sanction works only if the one that applies the Sanction does not need products from the person they are applying Sanctions on!
Also if you apply a Sanction. against another. That person has not got to have the raw materials required to build the end product of the item that you have Sanctioned!
Russia has and produces every precise metal required to manufacture virtually "everything"!!!
Taiwan produces great chips.........With materials provided by RUSSIA 🇷🇺.
As I've tried to explain to you many times, "You cannot Sanction a country that provides the world with its raw materials!!" Or from the one saying you have learnt.
The west "has the watches, but Russia has the time"!
Subtitles pls
Interesting. Another critical factor is any flying weapon system is delicately designed to balance. Like a bicycle, if the wheels are off-balance, you as the rider will definitely notice. Complex weapon systems take years to design and develop, one factor is ensuring it is correctly balanced to ensure its flight characterizes are optimal. Image the effects on its guidance system.
Hi Willy, great content, I hardly miss an episode, but please stop adding those "I really need to take a shit" thumbnail photos of yourself.
It won't make a difference if you add something else.
Shows how western propaganda and hubris has done a number on legitimate analysts. Especially concerning how these sanctions were supposed to cripple Russia's military industrial complex.
A lot of the Chinese and other nations military technology is a result of Russia and Soviet Union's willingness to transfer military technology to begin with so why would people believe they needed western parts to begin with.
Any attemp to monopolize or contain the tech industry wether civilian or military has always been laughable. This effort only pushes other nations to produce alternatives that are often cheaper with less redtapes as we saw with Iran and its mass production of Drones or China's Huawei.
So whats Washington going to do now that washing machines can't be described as 'duel use?'
U fail thinking Ukraine was winning n still does, when u should be calling for peace ☮️ 🇺🇸🤠💪🏽🇺🇸
Underestimated all the way.
PHD 😂😂😂😂
Whats your education, botik?
Very interesting discussion hopefully our leaders take note.
fella knows his stuff. the sort of stuff that could make a difference is newer chip designs and software tactics. say the west makes new AI chip designs that run autonomous software for drones. even if the russians capture one it would be hard to copy both hardware and software.
Instead of deleting comments, maybe explain why your "facts" are in stark contrast to channels like The Duran. Either you're lying, or they are😂😂😂😂😂😂
PUTIN ❤
You are brown
The guy speaking is very quickly in the weeds. He has general technology knowledge, in my opinion. He's correct and everything can be summed up with "Russia has no issues obtaining chips and technologies to make weapons". It's ridiculous to think otherwise. But ... the guy speaking in this video has zero knowledge about what technology is required for state-of-the-art weapons including hardware and software. Weapons using AI or some sort of image processing and weapons with hyper-sonic technology may require state-of-the-art chips that Russia can't produce easily. It's feasible to believe that the features in state-of-the-art weapons are limited by how good the technology is
Not sure about speed I don’t see why the chip size or speeds plays a role but for imagery and target acquisition yes for sure
@@bobmorane2082 speed requires faster response time. stabilizers and other things to compensate against turbulence. you're getting into the realm where you suddenly need a lot of sensors. It's fast enough to have to rely on several targeting technologies and always including imagery with AI with a camera so shaky that it requires insane frame-rates and noise canceling ... do i need to continue?
@@bobmorane2082 You're talking about something which needs dynamic liquid nitrogen cooling with a plumbing network similar in complexity to a pulp factory. Everything only needs to work for 10 or 12 minutes but a whole lot is happening in all of those seconds. I swear some people think these things simply expend fuel faster and they magically go faster
It like the nuclear weapons, know so many they have it….cant be stopped.
