They’ll figure it out.
Slava Ukraine!
Large slow moving ships in the open ocean is the easiest thing to see.
Ships cost an incredible amount of money, against expensive jet powered shaheds traditional AA MANPADS like Stingers are absolutely cost efficient. Cheaper propeller shaheds like the ones russia used to be able to field effectively (and Ukraine has free reign to use anywhere in russia) on the other hand are not efficient to shoot down with traditional MANPADS (which is where layered air defense comes in).
So Russia’s grain processing industry is now a military target?
Other way around. Russia attacked a Ukrainian grain shipment.
Also no that would be dumb to attack Russian grain shipments. Currently the Russians have a huge issue producing food due to diesel shortages, which makes the harvest basically impossible. Russia selling their grain abroad would lower their own reserves making food shortages more likely.
That’s what I mean. Retaliation time.
Ukraine civil infrastructure is a military target? Who started that shit?
If the ruzzia wants to end the war it’d be one easy step for them.
I mean if Russia has no fuel to harvest the grain they have…
If you impose export controls on the BCM2837 (core used by Raspberry Pi 3), you’ll just get drop-in Chinese replacements like AllWinner H616 and RockChip RK3288.
It’s not that likely they’re using Pi 4 or Pi 5 SoCs because there’s a supply crunch there (28nm and 16nm respectively and both use LPDDR4) and there’s plenty of BCM2835-BCM2837 in old stock + they use a 40nm process that’s much less crowded than the current SoC silicon market.
Anything older than BCM2837 in the Pi lineup would not have enough performance for MV.
The Raspberry Pi is manufactured in the UK IIRC. I’m guessing it’s not covered by military/dual-use export restrictions, though perhaps it should be. Though presumably locking down online shops in Europe would be hard.
Russia easily bypasses sanctions via its neighboring countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. They order to their warehouses there, then send to Russia.
I know some online shop owners and it’s not hard at all. Some already reacted to other sanctions by blocking traffic from russia, as well as auto cancelling all orders with russian billing or shipping addresses. Sone also had to react to Iranian sanctions a while ago. And others block Chinese traffic, because their target audience isn’t there, but there is constantly cyberattack probing originating from there.
These guys could run meta AI on a toaster.
Slava!
The Ukrainians aren’t too shabby either
