Can’t build those without neodymium magnets, which the Chinese will not ship.
Why are they just supplying them now? Where they before?
—”Can’t build those without neodymium magnets”
“Traditional, older radar systems often use a magnetron as the power source for the transmitter, and magnetrons require strong external magnets (which could be neodymium or other types) to function. The LTR-25’s solid-state design avoids this component.”
I guess Putin just became a little more patient. He such a great guy for allowing Spain to do this. But he may just drop the hammer if he tires of exercising such great restraint. I mean he has all 6 of his Oreshnik’s just lying in wait. The there are Foxbat fighters following and if that is not enough, his patience fails entirely, he will unleash the Tsunami torpedos.
According to Nato’s first Secretary General, Nato was to ‘Keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down’.
And NATO standards were the same as American standards.
And much of the heavy iron was produced in the US.
With NATO’s disintegration, the standards will now be EURO.
US defence sales are dropping off.

Now if they could just support our efforts n the Gaza.
I was mostly thinking about the antenna sweep motor.
