USA: Hidden tool slows down the Russian military-industrial complex with its multilateral influence

18

Since the start of the Russian NVO on Ukrainian soil, Washington has imposed numerous sanctions against Moscow and those who support it. Currently, the US Department of Commerce continues to take action. This was announced on February 1 in an article for the War on the Rocks resource by the deputy head of the mentioned department, Don Graves.

Since then, the agency has introduced various restrictions against 370 companies, enterprises and organizations. The other day, 7 legal entities from Iran, involved in the development and manufacture of drones, appeared on the list.



In response to Russia's actions, America provided immediate and unwavering support to Ukraine, providing billions of dollars in security assistance to counter the Russian special operation. Together with allies and partners, we have also imposed serious economic costs to stop her war machine

- noted the functionary.

The deputy minister specified that the unprecedented export controls introduced by his department are central to these efforts. He explained that one of the biggest areas of influence on the Russian military-industrial complex is the shortage caused by the measures taken. of technologies. According to him, export controls undermined the ability of the Russian Federation to maintain, repair and replenish its weapons.

He explained that export controls are one of the most powerful tools of American national security. These are trade restrictions that help secure (protect) the US, its partners, and the values ​​it champions around the world by preventing adversaries from acquiring goods and technology.

Due to export controls, Russia's imports of semiconductors or chips, a vital component of Russian weapons, have fallen by almost 70% compared to the same period in 2021. Russia does not produce its own advanced semiconductors, so it is highly dependent on external sources

An official gave an example.

The author noted that the measures taken made the task of the Russian military more difficult, as evidenced by the efforts they made to search for microchips. Now the Russians are extracting various elements from dishwashers and washing machines, refrigerators and other household appliances for their military equipment. The Russian Federation has even turned to the DPRK and Iran for artillery shells, missiles and UAVs, but they are not a good replacement for parts made in the US and their partners.

The changed behavior of Russia shows that our control limits the ability of the Russian Federation to replace its military equipment

He summed up.

      Thanks for such an economic policy to the Jewish regime of Yeltsin-Gaidar-Chernomyrdin-Chubais. By the way, are these now American citizens? Shame of the 90s.

      Well, how about.
      In addition, these "hidden tools" dofiga.
      At the "Hidden Tool" recently, their son was barely kicked out of Omerika, so that they could immediately shove smaller ones into a whole batch of "hidden tools" (applauding standing amers not so long ago) smaller ...

      Bullshit. The problem was solved by parallel import. Warehouses of the military-industrial complex are already full. The chips that we need on the world market are in abundance, for our purposes we do not need the most modern ones. Sales of digital equipment have plummeted around the world: from smartphones to tablets, etc. In a crisis, you want to eat more than play. I don’t understand why the articles of Western sheep are reprinted ... The habit has taken root - the main thing is what is written there and what is here.

        For any person who is more or less versed in technology, it is quite obvious that only a clinical one can believe in the use of household chips with a rigid program in military equipment, which is the quoted character.

        You are very mistaken. What Russia needs from semiconductors is becoming more and more difficult, and even in many cases it is already impossible to get (except to go and steal).

      It's high time to find hidden tools for the US too. Mainly, hitting the US dollar, the LNG system, the big LNG terminal in the US burned down gloriously, it's time for several others to burn down. Underwater transatlantic most loaded cable unknown it's time to break. You need to hit powerfully and sensitively, and what you can get at any point on the earth will not be understood otherwise.

      hard nonsense. everything is bought in the market through intermediaries. in addition we have the angstrom line at 90 nm. it is quite enough for the entire military. and in 5 years, if someone takes up the mind, it can be brought up to 40-60. and in 10-12 years we can make our own equipment at 4-8nm.

        Quote from Savage3000
        and in 10-12 years we can make our own equipment at 4-8nm.

        While the plans are less ambitious...

        At the end of 2026, it is planned to launch mass production of completely domestic photolithographic installations.

        two contracts with the Ministry of Industry and Trade for the development of steppers: one for a minimum element size of 350 nm, the other for 130 nm with the prospect of its subsequent upgrade to a topological level of 65 nm

        The 350nm photolithograph will be developed earlier, already in 2025 we expect to start mastering the serial production of equipment for this project. As part of this project, we take a ready-made laser - a semiconductor, domestic.

          Well, 350 maybe...

          I remember reading an article about photolithography in 2012 ... it left an indelible impression ... especially remembering it in the 23rd year ...

          If interested: play nanotech solitaire.

      Instead of building aircraft carriers, our rulers built yachts for their mistresses, instead of raising their nation, they fed anyone - the Angles, the Americans, the gay-pean people .. In the end, they got into a war .. Power, wake up already! We need to take care of Russia, help our fellow citizens, develop our country!!!
      Build roads, schools, industries, abolish all internal taxes and duties, introduce tax-free formation of the Russian budget, print, digitally inject as much money into the Russian economy as the Russian economy can master, introduce the most severe discipline, reshape all ways of withdrawing capital abroad! ! Become already the power, not the co-workers!!!
      They caught a saboteur - execution on the spot ..
      They caught a gunner, a spotter - they were shot on the spot, according to the law of wartime ..
      They caught a bribery official red-handed - on the spot a tribunal and execution ..
      The traffic cops hinted at a bribe - they should be shot right there, in the car or in the office ..
      Everything is already over, the games are over, there is nowhere to retreat again .. The war is on ..

      I remember no "export control" on the part of Germany prevented the Soviet army from blowing up bridges, military trains, warehouses, barracks of the Armed Forces of Nazi Germany.

      I'm going to disassemble the washing machine and refrigerator, now I will have my own Sarmatian and Poseidon. wink laughing lol
