Dear Joe- there is the edited and editable wiki page and then there is reality - the two do not meet.

Actually the two meet all the time for most purposes.
Wiki wouldn't be the most referenced and quoted reference site if “the two do not meet”

Did you happen to notice that several of the plants are in Ukraine and are now obliterated?

Only one on that list was in Ukraine, the Kharkiv. The rest were in Russia for the most part.

That some are making other things, some are closed or bankrupt? No probably not.

You claimed in your post # 88 and I quote , “The dear Motherland has 2 (TWO) tank factories. The small one makes mostly tractors and it shut down back in April, I believe. The big one shut down, after it churned out the last T-90Ms, a month or more ago.”.
So according to you, there are ZERO factories making battle tanks in Russia, which is obviously nonsense.

Check out the massive tank factory at Uralvagonzavod, which is, and I quote, “It is one of the largest scientific and industrial complexes in Russia[5] and the largest main battle tank manufacturer in the world.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralvagonzavod

Can you get that into your rather thick head?

The Taiwanese embargoed their high tech chips needed for almost everything military and a lot of civilian stuff and refused to sell them the tools needed to make them. Worse, The Netherlands refused to sell them the lithographic equipment (only made there) to make the tools.

FWIF I read here at FR that Russia does make 90 nanometer chips and uses them in military and other items. Their 90 NM chips do the job. I don't know how much larger space its circuit board will take up compared to a 10 NM chip based circuit board.

Compare the price of food and gas and the everyday items that working class families need to survive between America and Russia and who is doing better right now?
Its Russia by far.
Dementia Joe has sent gas prices to the HIGHEST in US history and that has sent food prices skyrocketing. Working class families in America are living paycheck to paycheck.

58% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck after inflation ..

Russia make their own chips, but then 70% of the chips they import are from China, who are happily refusing to impose any sanctions on Russia.

Yes Joe that is the largest factory and it has shut its tank production lines down.

Well the Russians would beg to differ with you and your precious wiki on the production shut downs - but maybe you should hop on the train and see for your self - you know get away from Mockva for a few days.

Try reading Russian publications and see if that will help.

Chip size is one metric - chip capability is another.

The ones they produce are antiques, when it comes to being able to use the products full designed capabilities - they just had to redesign their Orlan-10 to use an inferior chip, giving up significant abilities.

Not only that many of their weapons that use chips do not function correctly right off the bat - like 40% of the missiles either misfire or never reach their targets.

They are hurting badly in the chips department.

China cannot make 5NM chips but you are right. Russia can certainly deploy (just guessing) the 20NM chips that China can produce. 11th gen Intel mobile processors are at 10 nanometers
______

****** i5 1135G7 has been a very big seller the last few years. With a large jump in the GPU processing. Laptops with this sell like hotcakes.>>>>>>

The i5 1135G7 is based on the 10+ nanometers architecture with this the 11th Gen Intel CPUs have gained double digits IPC gains (instructions per cycle). The higher IPC allows the ice lake CPUs more performance at the same clock speeds. The TDP of this Chip as specified by intel can vary anywhere from 12 to 28 watts.

You? Don't make me laugh.

Of curse they would, because they are happily producing tanks even as you and your crazy Ukraine propagandists continue to insist its the exact opposite.

Orlan-10 - Banlon -Rayon-Nylon. You know lots more than I do. I am glad the Russkies chips and electronics are inferior when placed into their missiles and weaponry.
Russkies are very good at making steel and steel piping for their energy/gas/oil sector. Though no good at making mammoth gas line compressors for Nordstream etc. They buy these from Canada and Europe. They also use imported Siemens controls all over this sector.

Remember that part I mentioned about you going an reading Russian publications? Guess you omitted that step in your rush to prove you masters propaganda lies.

Without Western oil field supply companies, they would be producing significantly less oil than they are now, as they cannot slant drill nor frack - among other things in the modern oil production business.

The Orlan-10 is the drone the Russian artillery batteries use to find targets - a modern forward observer, if you will.

Decades of indoctrination through the big education/media complex.
