Can russia restart their homegrown electronics industry? They used to make pretty reliable stuff

This thread will get 300+ replies from cucks seething at Russia

It is a reliable and workable pocket BASIC computer, one of the better ones actually. Must only supported one line of text and perhaps 16-24 characters at once on the display. The MK-90 could support like 6 lines, making code editing easier and perhaps even making it easy to use as a writing tool for electronic transmission or at least encypherment.

>They used to make pretty reliable stuff
that's because the soviet government were pouring billions of dollars into their various industries to reverse engineer and clone products from the west, just to bypass sanctions. from portable radios to super computers, nothing was out of reach when it came to manufacturing in the soviet union. after the collapse of the soviet union, they became heavily dependent on the europeans and chinese, with little incentive to make their own products. they believed that the europeans would never cut them off again. turns out that putin is shit at globalist poker and showed his hand long before the flop was shown.

the chinks are in a big bind themselves. while also being heavily sanctioned, there's very little the chinese can give to the russians that they don't already have. it's like trying to sell sand to people that live in the desert. if the chinks are caught breaking sanctions then they're going suffer worse than the russians. and since over a billion people rely on food, medicine, minerals and metals all imported into the country, destroying their enconomy (what's left of it) is a trivial affair. problem with that is will the bleeding heart liberals be cool with several hundred million dead chinese? it's a tough sell.

They didn't have to pay shit. They stole it all, or were given it in exchange for certain perks like platinum which they have an enormous backpile of. Or diamonds. Toshiba gave the USSR (not "russia") five axis milling machines and are still sanctioned to this day. They "cloned" the Apple II by using chips from Taiwan laundered through Japan and Korea. PDP clone was made from actual stolen masks on actual stolen steppers.

Commies never once thought it was worth spending billions re-developing clones. They simply invested a couple millions in comping people in the west and being given the relevant stuff they needed. That was one of the primary ways they succeeded in the long cold war - people just helped them out.

Greenhorn nigger.

> the dumbfuck moron thinks russian industries just funded themselves
> in a communist country
the education you niggers got at school was clearly insufficient.

No you're missing the point. Every tech leap the USSR managed was either because of Nazi scientists, the odd and rare Russian genius, but primarily by stealing technology through their vast human resource networks. USSR had something like 8 spies for every 1 western one in the Cold War. One of West Germany's first few Vice Chancellors was literally a Soviet spy, no shit. They supported every crazy thing going in the west and even after the USSR broke up, COMINTERN still exists in some powerful form, largely run by East German and former Soviet people many of whom are billionaires.

You have no clue about where we're at or why anything is even happening these days.

no need anymore since china exists. A lot of USSR stuff was stolen by chinks after the fall of soviets.

liberals will be ok with whatever the media tells them to be ok with. its a non-issue

those were from the ussr, not russia

Reminder that Belaruse still makes their own 74-series clones

Russia already has fabs cranking out computers and chips for their military, it wouldn’t be that hard for them to start making consumer products.
There’s just no actual demand for it. Russian fabs are on 22nm, which is good enough for what the army needs, but pretty old for consumers. They also have an inefficient architecture, it’s basically an improved version of Intel Itanium. It’s clever on paper but in practice it’s not good. They could probably do a domestic RISC-V CPU or buy Ryzen plans from China, but again only the army would care because everyone else can just import Taiwanese 5/7nm or Chinese 14nm at the same price.
