Why Western Sanctions Against Russia FAILED - PHD In Electrical Engineering Explains | Ukraine War

Hey Legends, I would like to thank my guest for coming on and sharing this valuable information with myself! He would like to stay anonymous.
G'day Legends, I hope you're doing well,
Today we talk about the Russia's offensive and look at the war map updates.
If you're new here thanks for coming across, I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With specialist qualifications in Heavy Weapons/Anti-Armour, Combat First Aid, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

Hey Legends, A huge thankyou for Mr V for helping me, This is the video he was referring to below, When we first spoke about the potential Russia has for modifying laser guidance into a Tornado S ''A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon the Tornado-S ammunition circuitry video. I notice that this circuit had too many jumper wires. Jumper wires are something that are frowned upon in circuit design. They are sometimes needed if your circuit has only two layers, but if your circuit is multi layered, you shouldn't be any need of jumper wires. This circuit is definitely multi-layered. The nut and bolt on the left of the video at 7:01 time stamp holds the layers together and connects the grounds or VDDs of all layers. So, there is no reason for the jumper wires. This makes me think that a modification to the circuitry is made at the last minute. It is impossible to say the modification, but it is plausible that Russian engineers MacGyvered an extra sensor to make the missile laser guided. Such modifications are child's play if you are dealing with FPGAs. But for the Tornado-S circuit, the processor is an MPGA, which is not programmable. Still, the MPGA might have been designed with the possibility of a future modification in mind, or some other guidance system might be overridden in favour of the laser guidance.'' kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGqXonaolrl1j68si=PwrxzYxksh3NilPz

​@demivik5812 What he meant is that they can rely on good and fair relationship with partners rather than "western partners". Since 2014 Russia produces a much more domestic products, sanctions has boosted their own producers to fill that gap in the market.

[@allykid4720]

Former CIA economic consultant Jim Rikards wrote a book on iranian sanctions and how Russia was helping Iran back then. That book was published in 2011, meaning public knowledge was available long ago, while Russia was getting directly first hand info and experience on "how-to-handle-your economy if you're sanctioned oil exporting country" from Iran. Russians were well informed before 2014.

[@TheGreatAmphibian]

Excellent information. But realistically no intelligent person should ever have thought Russia could be sanctioned. They’re an energy and good exporter with lots of heavy industry and first rate scientists and engineers, and freaking CHINA has an utterly compelling interest in supporting them. For so, so many reasons that even a senile blob like Biden should have been able to work this out - it gives them a chance to break US influence globally, and Ukraine has to be scaring the hell out of Taiwan. (And the US’s destruction of its ally’s energy supply even more so.) Ironically, China COULD meaningfully sanction the USA. They’re not just a major industrial power but also the biggest producer of the rare earths needed for semiconductors. If they cut those off, the US economy collapses.

[@miriamweller812]

Sanctions on itself do nothing against a resource country. When it comes to the endless row of countries western fascism ruined, it was always WAY more than sanctions, but active meddling in the economy via regime change or buying corrupt oligarchs and worse.

[@user-fh9bt7gx8e]

It is possible to expand this topic. If you remember, the statement that Russia will run out of electronics is just one statement from a long list. You may recall how it was claimed that the Russian financial system would collapse due to disconnection from Swift. That Russia will run out of ammunition. I remember how one European resident came out to me, who was sure that because of the sanctions in Russia, people were dying of hunger. I tried to convince him to check where the grain was coming from in Europe. But he wasn't able to hear me. At the same time, when all these grain deals began, he did not want to talk to me at all. His head was occupied with other myths about the disaster in Russia. Misunderstanding the situation with electronics is not an exception to the rule. This is a symptom of a much more dangerous phenomenon. You notice the same symptoms in Zelensky's military tactics. In a topic that you understand. When military operations are preferred to the defense of the most important areas, which can be favorably covered in the media. When the military leadership does not understand why expensive equipment will not replace a boot for a soldier. There are situations when two people argue about how to achieve the desired result. This is acceptable if each of them understands the issue. And the goal of every debater is to find the best option. But it's a disaster if the goal of one of the disputants is only to win the dispute. He doesn't care about the case, he just needs to win the argument. Therefore, he will deliberately make false statements, and refuse to accept any logic. Simply, a sober vision of the situation gives you an advantage over an opponent with great capabilities. But trapped in illusions.

There are no difficulties with the production of microchips for weapons and military equipment in Russia. There is no need to use microchips for smartphones in a high-precision missile.A manufacturer of bombs, missiles, and airplanes does not need a pea-sized chip. He will be satisfied with a processor the size of a matchbox or even a brick. The dimensions of the Kalibr cruise missile are 8 meters long and 0.5 meters in diameter. A chip the size of a brick can definitely be placed there. The laptop in the 80s had a 12 MHz processor and 4 MB RAM. The Tomahawk cruise missile of the 80s remains relevant today.

Moreover, they are much more reliable than new ones even just because manufacturers have 20 years of refining its production process. Also it makes them cheaper as fuck.

Like, yeah, now you have cutting edge weapons without putting much of a thought, but its not very reliable and most important, its expensive as hell.

Your guest is telling the truth. I’m a high-end geek by trade and I’ve been shouting into the ether this same information for many months. Ask any high-end geek about what your guest is saying and they’ll nod in agreement. The media narratives about chip sanctions hurting weapons systems was only ever a viable psy op against non-geeks. The parts inside these missiles (etc) are so simple you could hardly believe it’s a cutting-edge weapon. But that’s the truth. “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.” -Gell-Mann amnesia effect, described by Michael Crichton

One fact people seem to forget about Russia is it already has every resource that it could ever want, with a relatively small population for the size of the land. There is no way to sanction that. they will always be able to supply everything locally.

Regarding removing and reusing chips. Its doable, its not even that hard. You get your tweezers, you get your heat gun and you start blowing while very gently tugging. As soon as all the Solder has melted the chip will come free If the chip has pins you can just go ahead and solder it to the new pcb right away. If it has pads, especially if it has pads on the underside of the chip you need to remove any residual solder. Get your copper braid, apply flux and use your soldering iron and copper braid to wick away any solder. Once done chip is ready to be used. Make sure to test any electronics made from recycled chips before sending down the supply chain as the removal process can damage the chip. (Usually wont but a certain percentage will be damaged)

The highest technology chip in the f-35 is a 45nm node. That's the same as the original iPhone 16 years ago. And that f-35 is probably by far the most computational heavy fighter ever. But that's all it will ever need & actually it could have gotten by with a much less powerful chip. The calculations needed to put a ballistic missile on target or a cruise missile or even a javelin are a few hundreds of orders of magnitude less computationally intensive than what you need to edit and render a video in a timely fashion on Davinci Resolve. People have no idea that high tech weapons almost never require bleeding edge technology. At the beginning of the war the only thing I thought the Russians might be at a deficit to Ukraine was night fighting sensors but not even this turned out to be the case.

Sanctions create a black market People are very greedy so where there is a fast buck to be made some one will jump in to make it . There is not a CEO on the planet who would not sell his own grandmother into sex slavery for a suitcase full of gold bars held in a tax haven that could not be traced . And when you can no longer get components electronic engineers will find a work around , that is what they do , make the stuff that electronics architects think up actually work and be able to be produced at a reasonable cost . There is nothing that a chip can do that can not be done with individual components a peg board and lots of wires . IT will just be a lot bigger and consume a lot more power . After all the Afghanis made quite effective bombs using obsolete phone parts . Why do you think third world countries buy so much E-scrap . In the West we buy it to recover the precious metals Other countries buy it to recover the parts to be used in other items . As for desoldering chips from a board, what does he think missile electronics technicians do day in day out ? They repair guidance boards and that often requires replacing chips which unlike those in a computer all have to be hard soldered onto the boards & not in sockets . As for old technology , there is a super computer in Japan made entirely from old G4 mac motherboards that is still in use today for doing computer modelling & simulations . I still use my old 1990 Quadra for writing articles because the old O40 motorolla Chip can still word process about 20 times faster than I can type and word perfect 4 make a much much smaller file size than any of todays bloat wear and of course the pre-press will apply their own typography so no need for me to do any fancy typesetting I do all of the graphics & art work using a old dual processor G4 and Photoshop 7 with a massive amount of memory using a ram disc as my temporary storage and hell is that fast . So I can not do 3 layer transparencies but the Web presses can not print that either so it does not matter . So no the sanctions did not stop smart weapons manufacture and putin is tossing a lot of money into weapons manufacture OTOH the russian are not making as much as many seem to think as may of the recovered debris reveals that the missiles were only a month or less old and in case you have not noticed, overnight missile attacks come in waves, usually one or two a month because the russian are firing a lot of them as fast as they are making them. However when russia starts popping out five SU35's a month I will believe that the sanctions have had no effect . The stuff that is near impossible for russia to make are air defence systems They have only 2 S-500's and they are not making much in the way of S-300 & S-400 at the moment. They are not making the T-19 Amarda tank because they can not get parts for it They are not making SU-57's for the same reason. OTOH the financial sanctions are having a drastic effect both in russia & China . Your guest was very much right about the media over hyping things they do not understand So a slight possibility gets reported as a possibility which gets re-reported as a probability which in turn becomes a certainly and then absolutely without fail.

In Willy’s comments I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about sanctions. Sanctions are only effective for the “carrot” - carrot being the lifting of sanctions, the “stick” is minimal, the stick - short term economic damage/pain. Long term sanctions are not effective due to the country eventually finding other markets/ways to produce. Even more true in today’s multi-polar world where there are markets specific for unfriendly western nations.

Willy is a chip off the old block. Sanctions failed because the world is moving forward leaving the Western bloc behind. My parents used to spend hours lecturing me on behavior and soon as it was over I carried on as if I hadn't heard a word they said. Learning on your own is exciting and inspiring. Being told how to act is boring and discouraging for innovation. Western nations aren't able to accept reality, so they develop artificial realities and spread them around as facts. China used to counterfeit western products, now they innovate and improve the products to be both more affordable and more useful to end users. While the western elites see this as a threat to their power dynamics it really is a lack of competitiveness from the western elites. China has a competitive edge on the western nations and it's driving them insane. Consumers on the other hand want sanctions and tariffs lifted so the products they consume are more affordable. Globalists didn't account for the impact sanctions would have on the consumers in their own countries. To ensure western corporations are competitive we must all pay a higher price for the same goods, this impact alone hurts them more in the long run as consumers cut back on spending. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Learned that in 4th grade science class Newton's 3rd law of motion.

Impact of sanctions on the Russian economy: In May, Russia's GDP growth accelerated from 4.4% to 4.5% in annual terms, according to data from the Ministry of Economy. In January-May, the Russian economy grew by 5% compared to the same period last year. According to the department, the main growth drivers are the manufacturing industry and construction. Thus, the production of computers, electronics and optics in January-May 2024 increased by almost 40% compared to the same period last year. There is also positive dynamics in the chemical and food industries. Electricity production increased by 3% in May. Production for 12 months set a historical record. Industrial production (about 30% of GDP) increased by 5.3% in May. The Moscow Exchange index in June amounted to 3,140 points (+14% per annum). The index has been growing since April last year (15 months). The real total return index increased compared to June last year (+10% per annum). It has also been growing since April 2023 (15 months). Based on the results of the first four months, the growth of real wages in Russia amounted to 10.5% compared to the same period last year, according to Rosstat data. The World Bank (WB) has recognized Russia as a high-income country. The financial institution published a document with this content on Monday, July 1. Data for countries around the world whose economies grew at double-digit (almost double-digit) rates for more than 20 years in the 20th century are given below: 1. 13.8% - Russia - average annual growth for 22 years (1929-1955). 2. 11.5% - Taiwan - average annual growth for 27 years (1947-1973). 3. 10.4% - China - average annual growth for 25 years (1983-2007). 4. 10.2% - South Korea - average annual growth for 23 years (1966-1988). 5. 9.7% - Japan - average annual growth for 23 years (1948-1970). 6. 9.2% - Singapore - average annual growth for 24 years (1966-1989). Thus, in the twentieth century, the world's largest national economic growth for more than 20 years was achieved in Russia in 1929-1955 (minus four war years). During this period, real wages grew 4 times, citizens’ deposits in savings banks grew 5 times, and the economy grew 14 times. And: - First place in the world in terms of the share of mechanical engineering in the total volume of industrial production. - Complete technical and economic independence of the state has been ensured. - First place in the world in terms of agricultural mechanization. - First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of absolute industry size. - First place in Europe and second in the world in terms of labor productivity in industry. - The latest industries and advanced technologies: nuclear, space, rocketry, aircraft manufacturing, instrument making, radio engineering, electronics, electrical engineering and others. From the point of view of the saturation of economic sectors with new equipment and technologies, the Russian economy and industry had the youngest production and technical apparatus in the world. And sanctions did not prevent such economic growth in Russia!
