[@TylerOrchowski]

I work in this industry and would like to add some detail and context to Johnny's video. First off, this was an accurate explanation of how parts get where they aren't supposed to go. Kudos there. What is important to understand though is that these aren't military or space grade chips. Those can handle heat and vibration and radiation and are pretty well controlled by our government, with an extreme price tag accompanying them. The trick is, consumer electronics are advanced enough now that you can fly a missile with the same parts in your car, or washing machine, or phone. The parts Russia is getting are used everywhere, and as a result it's nearly impossible to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands. This phenomenon is the same one that has enabled cheap consumer drones to be modified to deliver explosives in the conflict. This level of performance is commonplace and cheap now.

[@ronblack7870]

so lets impose a tax on all these chips and use it to build weapons for ukrae

[@IgorKravchenko_]

As far as I know, the choice of using western consumer grade electronics in military hardware in Russia was made exactly to easily source these components when the sanctions are implemented. It seems this strategy worked quite well. I remember that several years ago in Russia one of military jets crashed and they were disassembling some black-box related stuff live on TV, and people noticed right away that it was made of off-the-shelf parts you could buy in a shop next door and there was an outrage inside the country about it presuming that it is obviously a flaw. May be it wasn't indeed.

[@p382742937423y4]

[@certainperson9869]

Thanks for adding the context. This is an important point to this video.

[@isaacvelazco2111]

The food industry has traceability, lot numbers, batches, so you can draw a line of a product to even take it out of the shelves at the store. I bet that for chips is not that different. However, I think that sales managers in this US companies are going to get a big bonuses at the end of every year (and accionist their part) while the war is in process. If you have a record of your clients from the last five years, you could easily tell which new clients (whevever they are or there name is) are at the end of the day, Russia, there is a economic benefit and interest to sell this by companies in the US that is not considered in the video.

Преподавание в палестинских школах, находящихся под управлением Агентства Организации Объединенных Наций для помощи и организации работ (БАПОР), тем, пронизанных антисемитизмом и насилием, а также наем учителей, связанных с террористическими организациями, способствовали экстремизму, который лег в основу резни, устроенной ХАМАСом на юге Израиля 7 октября, заявили эксперты 30 января подкомитету Конгресса США, пишет журналист "The Algemeiner" Дион Дж. Пьер. Израильская организация по надзору за образованием "Impact-se" предоставила свои показания на фоне новостей о том, что США и десять других стран приостановили финансирование БАПОР из-за обвинений в том, что дюжина его сотрудников участвовала в зверствах ХАМАСа и что около 12000 из них связаны с террористами. "Мы знаем, что сотрудники БАПОР принимали участие в этой бойне, но это были не несколько паршивых парней, скорее, у учреждения прогнили все внутренности", - заявил генеральный директор "Impact-se" Маркус Шефф Комитету по надзору и подотчетности Палаты представителей США по иностранным делам. "Откуда мы знаем? Мы знаем это, исследуя образовательную инфраструктуру БАПОР. Тамошние учебники учат, что евреи - лжецы и мошенники, распространяющие коррупцию, которая приведет к их уничтожению. Школьников учат, как перерезать шеи врагу, а сожжение евреев в автобусе празднуют как вечеринку с барбекю". По данным Госдепартамента, американская помощь БАПОР была приостановлена, поскольку правительственные чиновники готовят "тщательное и быстрое расследование" причастности агентства к терроризму. США являются самым щедрым благотворителем агентства, предоставив ему 340 миллионов долларов в 2022 году. "БАПОР играет решающую роль в предоставлении жизненно важной помощи палестинцам, включая необходимое питание, лекарства, жилье и другую жизненно важную гуманитарную поддержку. Их работа спасла жизни, и важно, чтобы БАПОР рассмотрело эти обвинения и приняло все соответствующие корректирующие меры, включая пересмотр существующей политики и процедур", - заявил 26 января пресс-секретарь Госдепартамента США Мэтью Миллер. Во время слушаний 30 января Шефф заявил, что пропаганда антисемитизма и террора в школах БАПОР и события 7 октября неразрывно связаны между собой. ""Impact-se" уже много лет предупреждает о последствиях такого воспитания ненависти, и я спрашиваю вас: что БАПОР может предложить следующему поколению палестинцев? Токсичные учебники, которые слишком часто преподают учителя - экстремисты? Проще говоря, БАПОР не соответствует своей цели", - заметил он. В течение более двух часов комитет Палаты представителей по иностранным делам выслушивал выступления других экспертов (и время от времени критиков), в том числе Ричарда Голдберга из Фонда защиты демократии (FDD), Хиллеля Нойера из "UN Watch" и профессора Университета Вирджинии Мары Рудман. Они описали опасную как для израильтян, так и для палестинцев ситуацию, которая требует немедленного внимания мирового сообщества, хотя иногда и расходились во мнениях относительно того, что следует делать сейчас. "Когда вы смотрите на подстрекательство к насилию, которое продолжается десятилетиями, когда люди которые из поколения в поколение верят, что они - беженцы, ожидающие возвращения в то, что сегодня является Израилем, чтобы сбросить евреев в море, то 7 октября становится логическим завершением образования в школах БАПОР", - рассказал комитету Гольдберг. "Это, конечно, то, чему они обучали поколения, как использовать ресурсы, которые мы предоставили этим террористическим организациям для помощи в выполнении этой миссии. БАПОР является проблемой. БАПОР является частью того, что произошло 7 октября, и это будет происходить снова, если мы продолжим его финансировать". Мара Рудман защищала роль БАПОР как агентства социальных услуг для палестинцев, но объяснила, что его чиновники были "ханжескими" и "слепыми" в отношении проблем внутри организации. "Помощь США БАПОР является ключом к удовлетворению основных потребностей палестинцев, особенно в секторе Газа, и имеет решающее значение для безопасности Израиля и безопасности США", - заметила Рудман. "Чтобы возобновить эту помощь, нам нужна структура для оценки того, что пошло не так с агентством и можно ли это исправить с помощью внутренней реформы или требуется передача ответственности другой организации, внутри или за пределами ООН. Разработка и надзор за аудитом, необходимым для такой оценки, должны осуществляться за пределами БАПОР - вне всякого сомнения". Какая организация, такой и директор В заключение Рудман заявила, что помощь БАПОР должна быть возобновлена, пока ее деятельность тщательно изучает внешняя организация, настаивая на том, что гуманитарный кризис в секторе Газа распространится на весь Ближний Восток, поставив под угрозу безопасность США и Израиля. Многие, в том числе некоммерческая организация "Движение по борьбе с антисемитизмом" (CAM), не хотят возобновления финансирования агентства. "Сегодняшние слушания только подтвердили то, что мы знали уже давно: БАПОР никогда не будет партнером, которому можно будет доверять в достижении своей цели - служении благосостоянию палестинского народа", - говорится в заявлении организации, опубликованном 30 января. "Соединенные Штаты и их союзники должны полностью и навсегда сократить финансирование БАПОР и найти альтернативные механизмы для удовлетворения гуманитарных потребностей палестинского гражданского населения, не подрывая при этом безопасность израильтян".

It doesnt matter if it’s Military grade or consumer grade. Both are basically the same product. Military grade means it can handle higher temps and vibrations compared to consumer grade. Both can be used in weapons. At the end, you have tons of IC brokers around the world buying out IC inventories from manufacturers and selling them to any company that wants them legally as long as they have paperwork. It’s impossible to know if you are selling to a shell company or to another new broker.

[@jozefsnopek352]

if chips in the TI86 could be used to navigate a missile, then Russia needs not to import it. At this level of complexity, they can manufacture it themselves. Western companies that manufacture such specialized chips should really be forced to do due diligence on the end-customer of their chips. And selling such chips to shell companies should be excluded altogether.

The most effective method would be that western companies can’t ship chips to any company that isn’t at least 10 years old.

[@randxalthor]

The US used this technique to buy the titanium from the USSR for building the SR-71. In this case, Russia is buying small (yes, 100 units is small) amounts of cheap chips. Hunting these transactions down is like finding a needle in a haystack. We have ITAR export restrictions, but they're only so effective for these small transactions, especially through front companies. We have to keep tracking down which companies are placing these orders and blacklisting them, as well as running HUMINT operations to cut off the business links to Russian companies in the first place.

[@clutteredchicagogarage2720]

I am an engineer who has done a lot of work with micro-controllers, and I have done some work with hardware companies that make various kinds of controller boards for machinery. I am not an absolute expert, but I know a bit about the market for various kinds of integrated circuits and various kinds of computer chips. I 100% sympathize with the aim to cut off Russia from supplies of western computer chips. With that said, I believe that a whack-a-mole approach to shut down all exports of western chips to POTENTIAL middlemen around the world who can re-export them to Russia is probably a Sisyphean problem. Computer chips are cheap, and they're small. Some ICs from Texas Instruments cost as little as a $1, and they're tiny. You could fit thousands of them into a backpack. Someone could purchase them in, for example, Dallas and then fly to Turkey on holiday and hand them over to a middle-man who can take them to Russia. I think that rather than whacking the moles, the CIA should feed them rat poison -- the kind of poison that rats bring back to their nests and share with other rats. Rather than stopping shipments, which would lead Russians to switch to a different supplier, the CIA should find a set of common key components and then pay a few of the suppliers to manufacture visually-identical but defective products. Once an illegal middleman is uncovered, the CIA should ensure that they receive a shipment of subtly-defective chips. For example, with a GPS chip, it could be made to gradually report defective output. The same could be done with accelerometers. CPUs could be made to have memory errors. Basically, the CIA could study the guidance systems of Russian missiles, determine the key components, and then come up with a way that would cause the rockets to fail and fall out of the sky due to small and subtle errors in components. If the CIA finds some Russian guys in Brooklyn who are shipping chips to Singapore that are then shipped to Kazakhstan, instead of arresting them immediately, monitor them and ship them a batch of subtly-defective chips. In that case, Russian industry would spend millions of dollars to manufacture missiles, and an entire batch of missiles would fail AFTER the money is already spent. Companies like Rostec would be crippled because they would struggle to keep track of which chips in their warehouses are or are not defective.

For example, a 555 timer component could be modified to function properly for the first 5 minutes and then start to malfunction with random outputs. A GPS chip could give correct coordinates for the first 5 minutes and then return random coordinates. The same could be done with gyroscope/accelerometer chips, altimeters, etc. Good luck testing every single integrated circuit that will go into every single board on every piece of Russian equipment. Such a level of testing would slow down production by 90% and require significantly more engineers to produce an equivalent output. This would also accomplish the intended goals.
