>US sanctions against Russia are working so well that Vladimir Putin’s troops are being forced to use computer chips from dishwashers and refrigerators in some of its military equipment, the Biden administration has claimed. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo , told a Senate hearing this week that a ban on technology exports to Russia was now hampering its military on the ground as its unprovoked attack on Ukraine draws on. A report from the London-based Conflict Armament Research group found that Russian military drones shot down over Ukraine have been comprised largely of Western electronics and components.
I hope to see the soldiers armed with kitchen knives.
The whole Ukraine situation must be soo humiliating to the average Russian in the street.
Not cutting them any slack, but let us remember that it was the humiliation stemming from the loss of the Cold War and the USSR that in great measure brought Putin to power. Also, from what I have read, Hitler himself stated one of the main reasons for his rise to power was the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles.
Someone’s getting hung out to dry…
As an embedded SWE I do not understand how does it suppose to work. What chips they were planned to (re-solder?) into tanks?
