Really that is not very complex.
For over 30 years elites work hard to involve Russia into globalist agenda. Kissinger was in the game deeply, more than everybody could imagine. He invested a lot of work into that thing. Unlike failed with his stupid "opposition" and "woke" moves Soros, who participated in that work too, Kissinger didn't make jerky moves. Slowly destroying Russian industry, pushing hard dependece on western tech, all that western economics shit, green light for "Russian" oligarchs in the West and so on. He find some keys to sucking Russia into globalist agenda and make a huge success. And now, new, young woke globohomos literally destroying his enormous 30 year work with stupid sanctions and narrative. Every week of sanctions destroys years of Kissinger work.
That is why he made his statement. In the long run, it is more profitable for elites to restore relations with Russia at any cost and bind it to agenda back, than get some temporary success with their rush to famine/shortages stuff, but lose Russia completely.
It is clear for Kissinger that even dumb sheeple will began to ask an unpleasant questions about why that bad Russia have enough food and fuel for all its orcs, when elites talk about "global shortages" for them, nice, obedient and woke sheeple. It is not global, if it is only West suffering. And that sheeple will not give a fuck to that poor Ukraine, most of them become aware of just at Feb 23, when it comes to daily food and fuel.
Kissinger plan was much better in long run - destroy or gain NWO control over Russian industry, involving Russia into carbon tax hoax and other stuff, and finally make shortages really global, in Russia too. Slow, but reliable.
So, that is not Kissinger on Russia side. It is Kissinger protecting NWO agenda that is ruining apart with the hands of woke, impatient and stupid Young Global Leaders who literally pushing Russia out of NWO highway.
It was only $20B in 2018, $18B in 2020. Mostly it is Algeria and Egypt (~30% and ~50% respectively). It is even less than trade with single small Turkey. Google didn't told you that?
Seriously? Who told you that? Or you talking about that cheap China drones widely used by Russian/LPR/DPR army for targeting Ukrainian positions? But they have China MCUs and other ICs.
Russia have full chip production lines, up to 90nm. You can't make latest Core i9 or Nvidia GPUs on them, but they are more than enough to make military electronics. Russia manufacture wide range of microprocessors and other chips suitable for military equipment. And I'm not talking about that Elbrus overhyped crap. There is more problems with passive components, resistors, capacitors, since that factories was destroyed in 1990s. But they are freely available from China, and it is not hard to build a factory if really necessary.
Russian military equipment have much simplier electronics than western one, so Russian manufacturing abilities is enough for it.
There was a period when Russia tried to join NATO in early 2000s. At that time Russia tried to use western electronics in military equipment. FLIR's, cameras, something like that. But after NATO suddenly break all cooperation, all that stuff was replaced by local one. Theoretically, there could be some Russian units of equipment with western components in Ukraine, but they are from the times of Russia-NATO cooperation.
If you talking about Soviet equipment upgraded by Ukrainians - yes, there could be foreign parts in it.
I see, how you looked up, and got some garbage instead information. Then, use that garbage in your theory. Garbage in, garbage out, isn't it?
I never stated that agenda is to collapse the West. I stated that elites, trying to follow their agenda, whatever it is, fucked themselves up, and in the result they collapsing the West and a huge part of their developments since 1970.
Demand without supply is deficiency. I was born in USSR, deficiency does not solve anything, believe me.
To do something reasonable with unmatched demand you have to take control over supply. Then, you could use supply to push the agenda. May be you are right, and that was their plan.
But they created demand ony in the West, and may be in some West satellites. And almost lost control over supply in the rest of the world. I see it as fuckup.
Turkey exports it to where. Turkey right there real easy distributor. It's like talking to a plank.

Yawn go back to your crayons, memes, and propaganda.
I am sure there is counter propaganda. But no. There's truth in it. Russians use Western chips. Now they're going to have to make something else. Or get China too. Nope, China also make the bad chips. Look at those drones, above, umm, no arms on them, cannot guide the missiles, no GPS. Barrel bomb instead. Seriously they were found in all the leading weapon systems. Why is that?
Nice sources. :) Exactly those critical thinker should use. Good luck with finding what is really going on with them. :)
Are you really think that it is possible to take MCU from arbitrary diswasher and replace MCU in weapon with it? Do you know that nearly all MCUs in home appliances have mask ROM and you can't upload your own software into them? You can't use MCU with program to control dishwasher to control tank engine or rocket guidance. Small details sheeple not aware make that shit you dig out looking completely stupid.
Just look, there will be no problems with weaponry supply, even if that war will be prolonged for years by gamemasters.
Also, if you take a look at dates of manufacturing on photos of PCBs (all 3 of them from 7 articles :) ) you will find that all photos shows some old things from 2002 to 2012, from times of NATO-Russia cooperation.
And after all that stuff on photos is unidentifiable. It is impossible to say were it was installed and who made it, who use it, and if that PCBs from some weaponry at all.
Garbage in - garbage out.
Why do you need all that in surveillance drone? Drone should be cheap as fuck, because it is expendable. Drone is just cheap targeting device for artillery. You could use literally toys for that. And there is GNSS systems other that GPS. And you actually don't need any GNSS for fire adjustment.
Russian weaponry is different from Western one and use different concepts. You absolutely don't need sophisticated, most modern and absurly expencive electronics to do such simple tasks as artillery targeting, rocket guidance and all that stuff, it is just a matter of choice. You can do it, if you need to make a weapon that is absurdly expencive, but if you need weapon that just do the job, you could use simple electronics, even analog one.
