German media are spreading information that Russia is allegedly forced to bypass sanctions to buy washing machines and other household appliances from the West, get microchips out of them and insert them into rockets. The press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, in an interview with URA.RU, called it “nonsense.” Experts also denied this information.
“In Russia, washing machines and refrigerators are being disassembled in order to get chips for the Iskander and Kinzhal missiles from there,” the German newspaper writes. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation responded to a request from URA.RU on this topic. “This, of course, is nonsense,” the ministry said as part of the URA.RU and Noodles Media project to expose fakes.
Roman Nabokov, deputy general director for the development of production at the Moscow Fizpribor plant, said that it was basically impossible to supply chips from household appliances to military ones. “Directly taking something out of the microwave and putting it in the tank is, of course, not true. Take the entire control unit from somewhere, for example, from a washing machine, and you can’t put it in. This is complete nonsense, ”Nabokov said in an interview with Business FM.
Stanislav Tverdokhleb, head of the Passport industrial innovation park, also called the information “nonsense.” “Firstly, no household appliances will be enough to saturate our instrumentation with chips and other elements. Secondly, it is technically difficult and pointless. What will be the amount of marriage and costs? This is just nonsense, ”Tverdokhleb said in a conversation with Novye Izvestia. Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov declaredthat it is simply impossible to use the chip a second time.
