Maybe, but don't count on it.

Its all about the engineering and systems integration. Everyone can buy cheap electronic circuits, but how many countries make cruise missiles, and have their own satellites and radars to make them effective? The photo was a 1988 Texas Instrument DSP. China and a lot of countries can make low-level DSPs and integrated circuits. Russia may not have a world-class chip-making industry comparable to USA or Korea, but does it matter?
