8 years ago after Crimea Russia was supposedly blocked from getting chips. . As I understand it , the highly sensitive chips that Russia needs in the S-500 for example , are Elbrus chips made in Russia. And the other chips that Russia uses are a dime a dozen and can be easily renamed and imported through 3rd countries.
The top Elbrus chip can run Windows 7. I'm running windows 7 right now.

Nope, it is 3M14 "Kalibr" (or simpler Caliber in english). No offense, but those NATO indices of Russian weapons are meaningless. These are Russian weapon systems and were manufactured in Russia. And all the other idiocies that start with F for Russian tactical aviation planes, like Fulcrum for MiG-29, Flanker for Su-27, Foxhound for MiG-31. Then we have Hokum-B for Ka-52, Havoc for Mi-28N, Halo for Mi-26. B for bombers; BLACKJACK for Tu-160. BS! That beautiful plane is the Tu-160.
. Then come the two GREATEST idiocies; project 941 "AKULA" (NATO; Typhoon), 971 Schchuka-B (NATO; AKULA). WHY DIDN'T THEY MARK RUSSIAN TANKS WITH NATO INDEX ?
Is it easier to write Su-57 or FELON, project 1144 "ORLAN" or KIROV, Ka-52 or Hokum-B, RVV-SD or AA-12 Adder, Mi-26 or HALO, Iskander or SS-26 "Stone", etc. I am glad that the two newest classes of russian submarines in the West are also marked (at least officially) by Russian project names, namely Borey and Yasen.

With all the fortifications, why doesn't Russia use Napalm. Artillery is not that effective against the trenches. Just load up the SU-25s dump them. At least threaten it if they don't surrender.

Who needs napalm when you have fuel-air explosives (thermobaric)

Now he might be genuine, he might not be, but if he is then he is not speaking just for himself, rather the Russian elite in general, in particular the wing that favoured closer ties with Washington and/or the EU.
The Kremlin has chosen a PR campaign of schizophrenia with various public figures each demonstrating some facet of Moscow's thinking, or virtue or temperament or whatever Kadyrov is the assertive type, Medinsky was the dove albeit that didn't work out, Putin is the level-headed arbiter taking a middle position between everyone. Medvedev is the indignation and honest outrage.
And the emotionally charged language in Medvedev's quotes as of late add to it all that extra spice Here we have a Russian elite that's furious over what it sees like an utter betrayal and contempt from the West, the West that it did so much for once. Over them attempting to crush Russia via the Ukraine, give it the Yugoslavia treatment. Over that whole Lisbon to Vladivostok motif being thrown out the window, and Russia subjected to the harshest sanctions possible, cancelled everywhere, over a problem the West itself made for Russia.
But people like Medvedev and those sharing his opinion have only themselves to blame. Their rage is really an expression of their frustration with themselves. Any idiot could have told them that Russia wasn't part of the club, wasn't ever going to be, that the West treats it with only barely disguised contempt and in fact has spent the last 15 years attempting to launch a color revolution in Russia so that they can install their puppet as leader of it.

And the use of it is massive. Tons of Ukro corpses are burned, and some wounded POWs have serious burn wounds either. A devastating and nasty weapon that decimates morale.
Some ODAB load was spotted under the sushkas, too.
Each day is a bad day if you are Ukr ...

126 servicemen of Ukrainian Armed Forces surrender in five days, Russian Defense Ministry chief notes
MOSCOW, June 7. / TASS /. The total number of captured Ukrainian servicemen reached 6,489. This was announced on Tuesday by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a conference call.
Speaking about the interim results of the special military operation, Shoigu said that 126 AFU servicemen had been taken prisoner in five days, with a total of 6,489 people.

It is a bad indicator for the Ukrainian army, as it is a relatively low number compared to dead and seriously injured. It means that it is being destroyed. Denazification in progress and at full steam...
It´s very hard to surrender to incoming artillery. Most of them are dead before a random russian soldier arrives at their position.

The top Elbrus chip can run Windows 7. I'm running windows 7 right now.
A military computer uses DSPs and other ASICs and does not need 128 cores on the same die. The objective is not to run HPC codes (e.g. climate models) requiring massive floating point throughput and parallel computation. The original Elbrus CPU can be rendered on a 90 nm process in one of Russia's fabs. This VLIW architecture offloads onto the compiler what x86 does in hardware (branch prediction, out of order execution of micro-ops, etc.) so it does not need nose bleed lithography to be viable.
The western commentary on this subject is a parade of inanity floating on total ignorance. This is not surprising considering who the NATzO deciders expected the Russian economy to fail after their "nuclear option" sanctions. This is the epic fail that everyone should focus on. The ragging on Russia is Pavlovian dog drool level.

caveat emptor wrote:Bykov class with TOR in the back. Not sure if this is some ad hoc instalation or it's transporting TOR to Zmeini.
This is what I asked about in the naval threads months ago
This is not ad hoc, it was tested, and works great at AD
16 missiles is great for Bykov
But you can't use your helicopter. Which is bad for a patrol ship or any other military ship. Helicopters help a lot.
Tor has small missiles. They could have integrated it ibto the ship since the begining.
I would agree, but what is good about this project is that it can carry a towed array cable from the transom , so it can carry the ASW module in the hold
And launch the cable through the transom of the ship
But I agree the Tor module blocks the deck from being lifted to launch Kalibr, or to land helicopters
Hopefully they fix this

Look at the picture you could put the VLS just on the small area on the sides of the helicopter deck. It's a tiny VLS. There is also space on the front.
Pretty dumb they didn't designed it with Tor from the begining.

The Smo has shown that the obvious solutions are the better ones
I'm glad you've recovered and you don't doubt it anymore. Submarines, just as many submarines as possible. Россия победит, брат, не волнуйся. Бой у высоты 776 - Sabaton !
Not sure if real. Edit . It's real. The propagandists are making it seem like he's talking about Ukrainians when in reality he's talking about the Anglosphere.

Excellent news
Now the same needs to be done with idiots who fucked up in the first week with ''no kill nazis'' orders and one who screwed up that river crossing
