@1:20 you can see the date code 1805... means 2018 week 5 ie February 2018 also was packaged in Singapore. So would have been sourced via asia not USA and well before 2022 start.
Ah yes the Blackfin line of embedded processors. Excellent in their time but that was a long time ago. It's only really a 16 bit processor but does have some 32 bit features. Really good development environment and state of the art around 2000 - 2003 but hardly anyone uses it anymore. It was even supported by Linux for a while but Linus removed support in 2018 due to lack of interest.
USA should put "Made in USA" on their chips, and make every one do same. Yeah, a new sanction. One chip looked Singapore made. Also, Russia is upping their chip fabs. Ooooh, is this going to be another hideous "Boosts Rus industry" moment like the Oil sanctions.
@@nithilin9289 Manufactured yes, but designed and engineered in the US. Some companies like Intel are making designs, doing the engineering and manufacturing.
"Turkish exports to Russia fell by 28%" -- as measured in dollars, SWIFT transfers, and as reported by Turkish trade ministry. What could go wrong with this picture? Of course, nothing, pat yourselves on the back. I'm looking forward to next year's videos showing stern looking grandma Yellen and that the Russians are still using Western chips.
It's like we have documents, and eyes to read through all those receipts from American companies literally being a source for the supposed "enemy" in all major conflicts we were involved in.
@@abba-Flammenfresser LOL Listen my child. Either Russia is a bankrupt gas-station, or they are conquering all of Europe, right? That is what your "Daddy" in the MIC says, right?
Now they are deleting all AFU NPCs coming close to the frontline VERY fast. Russia is outfoxing the Kiev Junta at every step. Just look at the Maskirovka-front north of Kharkiv, and the holes left in the lines in the south/east after panicking to stop that illusion. But don't tell anyone in Washington, Brussels or London. They're not supposed to know their policy is a trainwreck...
Not changed at all. Do you really think they can reach even soviet production levels (which were already relying on western microelectronics in many places by 90`s)?
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Because China doesnt know anything about chips, right? Are you saying that the Russians were out of missiles in May-22, like the MSM told us?
@@111076tom Know how and be able to build is different things. Soviet microelectronic industry is sold for scrap, chinese one cant even satisfy limited chinese demand INSIDE of china, and russian is straight up non-existent.

We did before the war, around 50k of crude came from russia a year, out of 8.5 million barrels. Now that number is 0. But your account is brand new so you are probably a bot anyway.
Which petrochemical products? I mean you have countries like India buying Russian oil and if they make something out of that and it's purchased I understand but that kind of laundering could be a next indirect step against Russia. The U.S. buys about 15 hours worth of usage from India.
@@bc1969214 There is hundreds of potential byproducts from crude oil and the US and other countries are buying those secondary products made from Russian crude oil . Which is a way of circumventing sanctions on Russian crude oil . The US is circumventing their own sanctions .
@@JuanValentino-yu1ft I mentioned crude because we only ever really imported crude from Russia. The USA has more refining capacity than it has oil production, which is why we import oil. We very rarely import petrol chemicals, and as of 2024, "petroleum products" (which includes petrochemicals) is 0, and wasn't that high even before the war.
Some standout items found in Lancet-3 drones are U-blox Lea-m8s-0-10 multiple constellation GNSS receivers, (< $30 ea) with improved anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities and Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano processors, (< $500 ea). Both are easy to purchase.
Note that large US brands had an office in Moscow back then. Nothing wrong with it, since the USSR had fallen and big prospects were seen for all manufacturers. Since Putin has a worm in his brain all went down quickly, very very sad, and mainly for the Russian people themselves.
Majority of chips in such videos like ADSP-BF561 are old design form 1990-2010. They are cheap (ADSP-BF561 ~$20 a piece) and can be bought in bulk (100's or even 1000's) in many places without triggering alarm. They also can be easily replaced with similar chips. We really need to pin-point the unique critical components rather than making noise about general use chips.
I think I know how they are getting them, but I'll let the Feds carry on guessing! I have no desire to help the US prosecute its proxy war agaisnt Russia.
In a nut shell, the US defence secretary did say the biggest hindrance to detecting any sanction breaking is the fact that all of these chips are dual use.
@@mddell24 It is expensive for companies to design, engineer and make chips. A single high-end machine costs upwards of 100 million dollars. The machine that Intel bought, which is a company that designs, makes and engineers its own chips, paid I believe 150 million for a single machine. Intel was a leader for so long but they lost that to TSMC and never got it back since. Now the company is making huge investments in order to catch up but their pledged investment is over 20 billion USD. How many companies can afford that? So it is not that simple. The government is now getting into the game by paying portions of the investments made by companies like TSMC, Samsung, Intel and many others.
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Military doesn't need 4nm chips, those goes to memory units and high end processors and computing. Military can do pretty well with current gen tech. and therefore they can be produced in many places.
Why do we have to send money and weapons to "save ukraine" if many of our own people are living on the streets, and the ukraine will never fully pay for all of the goods we send?
Because your government lying you . They stole the money from you , and they tell you will send the money to Ukraine . But in reality that money remain by “smart guys” . You can’t track where your tax paying money is . That money it’s in “smart guy” wallet , and not in Ukraine . But you need to have brain to understand that all wars are money laundring scams . Have nothing to do with victory in battlefield . Just to stole the money from tax paying people . Open your eyes and does’t believe every lie of your government .
Yet the components they showed had date codes that proved these were made long before the war started. IC manufacturers do not stock IC's for very long since unsold inventory is a loss. Within a year or two of production, older stock will go to first and second level distributors at reduced prices - and often get sold out at clearance prices.
Most of these commercial chips are inventory stock predating Ukraine war. They are also open sourced in non sanctioned Brazil, South Africa, South East Asia etc. Market dynamics are based on profitable sales with oversight of obstacles😅.
Cực kỳ khó để ngăn chặn nguồn chip vì các điệp viên Nga có thể mua lẻ rồi gom thành 1 số lượng lớn chuyển về Nga qua Trung Quốc hoặc Triều Tiên. Đó là các chip thương mại phổ biến trên thị trường, và rất khó để kết tội nhà cung cấp vì họ không thể biết được người mua cuối cùng là ai. Nếu làm được thì Triều Tiên đã không thể chế tạo được tên lửa liên lục địa nếu không có chip.
@@GameFuMasterEven the F-35 has Chinese components or Components from Chinese own companies, this story is one side for a reason, who cares about chips made 10 years ago in a 2023 missile.
It seems They just providing Ukraine with some second class equipment and shells I guess they don't want to expose thier other best weapons. They're getting some Chinese chips to use make shells in provided to Ukraine.
It is very easy to put labels and very hard to think.the chips that are shown are very generic 5 pence chip. It mostly impossible to control who gonna buy it.
So you find out this product was sold to a Chinese company that sold it to Russia. You take this evidence to the Chinese government in hopes that they will crack down on the company. They don't. Now what do you do?
Right, but they get routed through intermediaries. IMO, they should keep those supply lines open and send them Trojan horse chips which will malfunction.
That’s the difficult part. I work for a US based memory technology company, and tracing who ends up with your parts long after the initial sale is nearly impossible without some sort of imbedded tracking device, which, for most buyers, would clearly violate a multitude of privacy laws. 🫤
Very small amount of chip of mostly the lowest-quality US chips are designed in India. China is not a big producer of chips for the US either. They mostly make low-quality chips for small tasks
China is and has been for many years counterfeiting US chips (34-90 nm needed for guidance systems) and integrated circuits which are those little rectangular black, caterpillar appearing devices he was pulling out of the missile and shipping them all over the world. The fact you find "US" chips in Russian guidance systems is no more unusual than finding "US" 20 dollar bills in Peru which is where many are printed or 200 dollars Rolexes in New York jewelry stores.
@@parrotsarnoso1099 *you* might but the ones in the video clearly showed that the orc's didn't. However, it takes a lot more than a date code to trace these back. The ones they showed were made in 2018. In 6 years since their actual fabrication, they have been through several layers of distribution and only the first layer of distribution maintains tracking information.
A lot happens behind the scenes, a lot of amarican companies never truly left Russia. Through a web of intermediaries they continue to operate, i. e Coca-Cola, Pepsi, so this is a futile effort

Those are some OLD chips..... and there is nothing stopping them taking EWASTE, from old telecom equipment, salvaging the parts and using it in missile tech...
the US is not selling directly to russia but intermediate countries. For example Kyrgyzstan or Kazakhstan buy chips and then sell those same chips to russia, albeit with a higher price tag than usually
@@markusmeldre You are correct. This actually means the sanctions are working, but don’t waste your time trying to explain this to people. You will just end up wasting your time.
There is a simple explanation. They would have stocks bought before the conflict that could represent say 4 years supply.Imposing sanctions does not mean the Russians bought another chip after the restrictions were initiated. Talking about counterfeit and lower quality is subjective since if the missiles are working it does not matter. once the restrictions comes in place hen like any other product in the world alternative sources will come into play including developing own use items for the purpose.The Russians do have micro chip production capacity just that it can be bought cheaper elsewhere and like any other industry will seek to develop this over time. These kinds of report is to give the impression that somehow the Russians are going to run out of weapons not likely to ever happen because they also possess the raw materials that produce which at the end of the day is more decisive if restriction comes in force.
Main reason is military economy: utilize whatever is cheaper, reliable and massively available. Especially for expendables like ordnance. This is why Russians, Persians and even Chinese will keep using such low-cost components from global markets even when domestic analogues are available.
From what I’ve read, no. So a MoD official lets a contract for a weapons system in Ruzzia. In that contract you’ll have X amount of systems produced and Y spares. The official is going to siphon off a certain amount of $$ due to corruption. The company officials, oligarchs, are going to siphon off the same amount as well. They’ll produce X-25% systems but also produce no spares. All that is money in offficials pockets. So if the contract was for 100 systems and 25 spares the MoD will get 75 systems of which only 25 are up to specifications but also no spares. Any stockpiles is just another form of $$ in peoples pockets to sell off or not even make. That’s why T-62 and T-55 tanks are showing up on the frontline.
What a shocker... They try to make this like a huge thing. Anybody can buy electronics online these days, and even custom chips can be made if you have enough money. Chip makers don't know where these are going as they are mostly universal chips and can be used almost anything out there.
if the russians are capable of good rockets, they easily can make programs for the operation of any programmable chip. The next generation may rely on microcontrollers from other countries.
What WSJ, CNN, and the people watching this themselves, do not realize. Is that a single person in a US friendly country. Can go online and buy FPGA's, CPLD's, MCU's, op amps, etc from RS/Mouser/Digi/Newark/etc. Enough to build several hundred missiles. The parts will be shipped to their home (free shipping!!!) and will arrive in a day or two. They can then fit them in a SINGLE BACKPACK and then walk to China and then WALK into Russia with all those parts. It's not hard, unfortunately.
There's 1 reliable engine from Russian. That's all. It's a good solid engine, but they can't develop better ones since perestroika. The US has 100s companies doing the next Generation engines.
You are stuck in the past, Spacex already launched more than 50 launches this year. Vulcan has already launched this year, and the US doesn't need Russian rocket engines anymore.
@@emmetray4141 What do mean saying Russia can not develop better rocket engines? Russia graduates more engineers every year than any other country. Almost twice as many as the USA. According to the World Economic Forum, the engineering/ construction/ manufacturing graduates on the top slot are those from the Russian Federation.
Please give evidence chips are manufactured in Africa, or do you mean Africa buys products with American chips, in order to remove, and resell them to Russia.
My friends in South East Asia told me, Russia has been buying huge watching match from South East Asia, India China for getting chips inside of it for getting then fixes it in Russia rockets, he said it made Russia weapon esp rockets very accurate😅
No, they come from the US. The United States is the home of most chips in the world! They are designed and engineered there. The US is also a major producer of chips. Taiwan and Korea are leader on the high-end manufacturing. The US is rapidly growing on the manufacturing side. It is home to the most global investments in manufactuing and these plants are soon to start opening doors. Some of them already have.
Comment from Hong Kong: After knowing the true effect of different sanctions (and aid) and why they are NOT working as intended. I doubt if the Western Power are really willing to stop Russia and China from ruining the world and its people. I have spent a few years to study global news and find the situation is frustrating
eles n tem o que fazer, so tentaram atrasar a China o brasil nao deixa de fazer negocios com a china e a russia, q são mais importantes atualmente do que os EUA china só perderá se atacar taiwan antes de 2030, ai a NATO acaba com isso ou com o mundo hehe
Yeah, can you believe Israel is also importing 70% of their weapons from China and have killed 15k children in Gaza with them? Oh wait, no, that's the US... But China having normal trading relations (with both Ukraine and Russia, where do you think Ukraine is getting their fpv drones from) is somehow them "ruining the world"
Si that's a Lab in Kiev to be destroyed by Russia? Russia shows us that there is no need for very expensive components to make a weapon that is to be used only once!! it's a waste otherwise!
I find it funny how without China or Russia, USA wouldn’t have anything to build of this technology. Not to mention how many of this technology is created by Russians or others in USA. Google is literally made by the guy from Moscow.
Russian pretty much stops itself at some point. Oil revenues negative for the first time in 25 years, ruble worthless, demographische declining, mass death but influx of africa, complete before war military destroyed now Reling in '55 Backups while being in full war eco.. Give it 2-3 years.
Everybody who's ever worked with GPS electronics knows the u-blox logo when they see it. Not sure why it was blurred out - if the Russians are using their kit not 100% sure why it directly reflects on them.
@@woutmoerman711 interesting fact, russia few month ago developed lithograph for 350 nanometer. It's 20 years old technology, but they want to develop 28 nanometer dy 2028, It's 10 years old technology, but it's enough for weapon
@@AlexWolfM Thanks Alex, interesting. So they probably have the technology, but do they have the production facility to make this? I don't know, just asking questions... I haven't seen anything chip related coming fron Russian industries, have you?
Russian has lost it's entire pre war military 1.5 times by now and the current rate is slowly outgrowing their replenishments in full war eco. That's only sustainable for a short while. Give it 2 years.
