About live 24 channels said the military observer of the Defense Express portal Ivan Kirichevsky. The downed Russian missile was found to contain electronic components around 40 years old.
To the topic Sanctions will not spoil it, – Yakovenko hinted how much Russia will be able to fight
According to Kirichevsky, a joint investigation by Reuters and the British Royal Institute for Strategic Studies showed that a chip manufactured in the 1980s was found in the remains of a downed 9M728 cruise missile destined for the Iskander fuel station.
In all likelihood, such old electronics, found literally in the trash, in principle, do not fall under the regulation of US sanctions,
says the military observer.
According to Ivan Kirichevsky, Western sanctions could apply to electronics manufactured in 1990-2000, which can still be considered new and effective for military equipment. And such old electronics as a chip from the 80s is already “garbage”.
How Russians evade sanctions: watch the video
Russia is building a “hydra” to get around the sanctions
The military observer believes that there is an illusion that if the West has had its word and imposed sanctions, then some process must be stopped. But the Russians are building a kind of “hydra” of front companies, criminal groups and other agents of influence to counter Western sanctions. If this “hydra” one “head” is cut off, ten new ones will grow in its place.
“Russian distributors can offer their Western partners something in the style:“ And you sell (subscription goods – Channel 24) only to us with a 300% profit on this,” Ivan Kirichevskiy suggested.
The Russians inefficiently distribute missile components
That is why, according to the military observer, by the end of the year it became known that during the war the Russians were able to make 360 missiles of the Kh-101 and Caliber types. And the pace of production could be even higher.
“Fortunately for us, the Russians, as always, do not allocate resources rationally enough. And they spent the available electronics, engines, etc., on the production of X-35U anti-ship missiles. Why do they need anti-ship missiles in such quantities, since they are now against the NATO fleet they do not fight, the question is open, ”Ivan Kirichevsky was surprised.
