“They brought it a long time ago”: Russia has a full set of equipment for the production of microchips - deputy
There are at least three microchip production machines in Russia.
Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, economist Mikhail Delyagin stated this in an interview with political scientist Alexei Chadayev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We don't know what we have. A classic example with chips. We don't seem to make chips. Our medium-sized business bought three (that’s what I know, maybe more) machines for producing chips. These are several rooms of the most complex equipment produced by one company in the world. The queue is for years to come.
People told me that when it turned out that we were neither American nor Chinese, they sold to us simply for the sake of competition. While large companies lived by the principle “we’ll buy everything in the West, and we’ll even take a kickback,” these machines were not needed. If the state now finds manufacturers and buys products at reasonable prices, it will be surprising how many technologies we will have that we did not suspect,” Delyagin said.
In addition, he is confident that Russia can easily buy the missing technologies in a crisis.
“Here we are sitting, and gophers are running around us (we don’t see them, but they are there): “Guys, do we need technology?” More than half of them are swindlers, some are provocateurs. But Iran, under sanctions, was able to develop its oil refining industry. They imported gasoline without sanctions; now they produce it themselves. What we lack, we can find on the black markets, because there is a crisis in the world. Everything is falling out,” Delyagin concluded.
