And this is yet another example why it's hard to take Ukrainian PR with anything but laughter. Time and time again.
And western media swallows it up like a mushroom swallows shit in darkness.
Sounds like 100% bullshit.Can we get some evidence that sanctions have not stopped or significantly impeded UVZ tank plant?
I will give you one hint. The West has been sanctioning sales of any components which can be used in Russian weapon systems since the 2014 Annexation of Crimea. Germany stopped sales of engines for corvettes for example. France stopped the sale of the Mistral LHDs. The only major component Russian tanks use which used to be imported was the thermal imager which used to be imported from France. But they sorted that out at least 5 years ago. Which is when you saw major Russian government orders of T-72 tanks upgraded with thermal imager showing up. A couple years back there was even a crackdown on Russia purchasing commercial grade night vision devices from Western countries for their police. The sanctions should have zero effect on the Russian weapons industry. In fact it is likely to be the industry least affected by sanctions.Tell me please what western components are in T-90's ..... That would impend production or T-72's refurbishment.
See above.The T-90's were supposed to use French made Catherine thermal imager. I recalled however there was already an effort to make local thermal imager. Dunno about the result.
Jack Ma's Alibaba is deeply infiltrated by Western capital. Not that it matters since the Chinese government has been forcing both Alipay and WeChat Pay to be essentially wrappers around the Chinese government's own digital payments platform. In fact I think the transition has already been done for some time already. Yet more proof that Xi was prescient in breaking these corporate cartels down.
