In the current Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, Ukraine has dismantled a large number of Russian missile wreckage and drone wreckage that appeared on the battlefield, and cracked Russian technology by dismantling weapons and equipment. However, after Ukraine dismantled a large number of advanced Russian equipment, it has discovered a common feature. Among these Russian-made weapons and equipment, there are a large number of chips from the United States. As we all know, the United States and Russia have been competing with each other for a long time. It is obvious that the United States and Russia are unlikely to export a large number of new products to the Russian military for use. At the same time, in recent years, the United States has been constantly talking about chips and fighting a high-tech war with Russia. Therefore, the United States naturally cannot actively provide these chips to the Russian army for use.
In addition to the Russian military's missiles and drones that have appeared from the United States-made chips, Russia is now using suicide drones and reconnaissance and attack drones from Iranian . According to media reports, Ukraine shot down nine Iranian drones in a row on October 6, and these nine Iranian drones were all suicide drones that Iran called Witness 136. After the continuous losses of Iranian drones, Ukraine also disclosed a large number of secrets from Iranian drones. In fact, Iran's use of US technology has long been an open secret because Iran does not have the ability to research and development and manufacturing drones. Since Iran is constantly competing with US drones, Iran has also learned a lot of technology from a large number of US drones.
However, after Ukraine dismantled the Iranian drone, it has also discovered that a large number of American chips and even all of them come from the United States. The United States' suppression of Iran is also quite serious. So how did Iran obtain these American chips? Universal World believes that the biggest possibility for Iran to obtain American chips is to purchase second-hand chips. Since the transaction and export of second-hand chips are not subject to any control, Iran can easily purchase a large number of second-hand chips, and these second-hand chips can come from some used laptops or some recycled home appliances. Since this suicide drone is constantly seeking low costs, the requirements for chips are also quite low.
In fact, Russia's domestic drones are now also some technology that is pieced together, and they are assembled in large quantities. It is understood that parts from many countries have appeared on the Russian Seahawk 10 drone, and even the engines are model aircraft products. However, it is undeniable that this Seahawk 10 drone has indeed helped Russia complete a large number of reconnaissance missions. As a drone, the number one purpose is to reduce costs. Therefore, whether it is Iran or Russia, using a large number of overseas parts seems to be a helpless approach, in fact, Russia and Iran do not have to worry about the leakage of technology and the real strength being touched by competitors.
There are now continuous losses of Iranian drones on the Ukrainian battlefield. In fact, neither Russia nor Iran will worry about it, because these drones use American chips and American technology, and even if they are shot down, they will not cause technical leakage. At the same time, the most important feature of Iranian drones is that their construction cost is extremely low. As long as Russia is willing to do so, the losses of these drones are nothing. If Ukraine wants to use air defense missiles to shoot down, it must pay several times the cost to achieve shooting down. Text/Aris
