By that logic russian bombers can even bomb Ukraine factory that produces washing machines. Please have some brains.

that's not my logic that's NATO and USA logic , and double use technology and industry is the term you guys used to prevent letting Iran buy medical equipment like CT-scan , Ultrasonographic and Gama-scan devices also equipment to produce vaccines and drugs. we learnt it from you guys

Why do I have that strange feeling, Russia‘s constant claims on Ukrainian Nazis is nothing but a diversionary tactic.

Hmm, it shows two things.

1.) I was right about the Russian soldier ditches their uniform and flee in civilian clothes.
2.) Assuming these Russian soldiers are not trying to flee to the Ukrainian side, that mean this video would be shot quite close to the rear of Russian line in Kherson. Which means Ukraine is taking quite a lot of ground in operation around Kherson.

Putin is not amused.

Russia army lost 480 men, 3 helicopters, 1 aircraft, 21 tanks and 26 armored vehicles in a single day.

Russland Präsident Wladimir Putin hat die Region Cherson im Süden der Ukraine widerrechtlich annektiert – nun droht er dort die Kontrolle zu verlieren

Chinese distributors reportedly dump dud chips on Russia

What? Sanctions-busting sellers aren't interested in your complaints? That's a shame

www.theregister.com

The failure rate of semiconductors shipped from China to Russia has increased by 1,900 percent in recent months, according to Russian national business daily Коммерсантъ (Kommersant).

Quoting an anonymous source, Kommersant states that before Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine the defect rate in imported silicon was two percent. Since that war commenced, Russian manufacturers have apparently faced 40 percent failure rates.

Even a two percent defect rate is sub-optimal, because products made of many components can therefore experience considerable quality problems. Forty percent failure rates mean supplies are perilously close to being unfit for purpose.

This is a serious long term problem for Russia.

Semiconductor products start with the silicon wafer. Every wafer have a yield as in how many dies (chips) can be sold for whatever purpose. Usually, products such as NAND or NOR that have a wafer yield of %90 or more are considered 'matured' and demands the highest contract and spot market prices. The wafer is considered 'prime' or for 'Tier One' customers. Less than %90 per wafer yield would be sold to Tier Two/Three customers and usually sold at break even or even at a loss.

But I will not bore the readers with the technical details. China, according to this report, is selling Russia semiconductor products that reputable manufacturers would have sent to the scrap barrels.

I do not think you understand semiconductor technology.
If a wafer costs $1500 to process and you have 100 dies
with a yield of 10% you get 10 working dies and you have to sell them at $150 to break even.
If you get 50 working dies , you have to sell them at $30 to break even.
if you have competition with equivalent functionality, the market forces will drive the price down towards those numbers (+ a margin).
So high yield products tend to have lower price.
