Russians began repairing appliances using chips from dishwashers
After the introduction of sanctions by Western countries, the supply of semiconductor products to the Russian Federation decreased by 70%. The Russian military-industrial complex is unable to produce weapons without them.
John Graves, who is the deputy head of the US Department of Commerce, noted that export control measures against the occupying country were strengthened eight months ago. Over the past time, the ability of Russian military defense enterprises to produce high-tech ammunition has come into question.
An American official claims that hypersonic ballistic missiles are not currently being produced in Russia. Due to the lack of microcircuits, the serial assembly of motor vehicles decreased by 3/4 compared to 2021. This indicates that semiconductor products used in civilian cars are being diverted to the production of weapons.
Russian military engineers have to repair equipment with the help of chips extracted from refrigerators and dishwashers. The defense industry of the Russian Federation is trying to survive with its last strength, Graves concluded.
