"However, since the Ukrainian crisis, Russia, which has a weak semiconductor industry, has endured round after round of Western sanctions, but it has still been able to launch batches of cutting-edge weapons. Behind this seemingly unscientific situation, it is mainly due to the extremely solid basic theoretical capabilities and strong system engineering capabilities of Russian scientists .
In this regard, Chinese missile expert Guo Yanying once wrote that Russia gave full play to its technical advantages in electronic tubes and used radio frequency circuits and analog circuits to replace some key chips. Although there are no high-end chips, designers have taken independent innovation measures in many aspects, especially advocating to take advantage of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and design microwave (radio frequency) circuits and analog circuits with unique ideas and excellent performance to replace high-end chips."
