Quote from: nones on January 03, 2025, 00:51:41For example, Russia was able to produce spy satellites at the same time as the USA, BUT they were about 4x bigger and had about 10x worse resolution, this resulted from the inability to approach the production of nanotechnology in the West. Today's commercial satellites have better resolution than the current Russian spy ones. In the next few decades they will not get below 65nm, they have no intention of doing so and China will not give them anything, only ready-made chips, it is not stupid and will not create competition.I don't think you know what latest Russian sattelites can do. Russia is arguably top 2 in terms of satellite surveillance. Also are you claiming that in at least 30 years Russia can't get lower than 65 nm? You say they have no intention while their roadmap and investments say the opposite. Good chance they'll get to 28 nm or lower by the end the decade.
Quote from: anan on December 26, 2024, 14:09:30Is it doable - probably 'Yes'. At least the theory seems sound. But to do this in Russia!? They could not create anything worthwhile when they had access to western tech. A lot of money meant for domestic chipmaking disappeared in local corruption schemes.What western tech Russia had access to?I think you mixed up Russia with China, Russia was sanctioned since USSR and was never allowed to get hands on latest tech. Also Russia never invested lot of money into chipmaking, only now they are doing so. Russia did key laser research for ASML though.
So now they will try to do the same thing but in HARD mode. Yeah, I am skeptical of their success in this...
