Care to explain what "western" electronics and technology is in Kalibr cruise missiles?

You can’t build modern electronics without capacitors.
Russia has very limited knowledge on many types of capacitors and therefore import them.
A printed circuit board lacking a single type of component like this might not work.
A redesign with bulky Russian capacitors might not even fit.

You mean the only country in the world to field hypersonic missiles?
Russia uses Western components in a lot of equipment because they do not have the capability to mass produce fine geometry advanced electronics in volume.

The Western elites won't tell us (the masses) about why they were trying to squeeze the Russians. The root cause of this conflict between the West and Russia is about the preservation of the fiat money. The West wants to make sure that the Petro-Dollar remains the fiat money of the world. And that can only be done when Russia, which is major energy producer, and China, which is a major economic power, are contained. If you really look at the wars against Libya and Iraq and the sanctions against Iran are all based on preserving this Petro-Dollar financial system.

Sadly, the Ukrainians have a leadership that couldn't foresee how they've been setup as a canon fodder for a conflict that shouldn't have them engaged at all. And I would add Sweden should also remain neutral and stay clear from a conflict that doesn't concern them.
When Russia violates Swedish Air Space armed with nuclear weapons, which happened March 2, they make us involved.

The thing is it's Russia which is outnumbered here.

Russia today is not a zerg army, but that of a lot of unwieldy, and expensive wunderwaffe hardware no conscript can use. Basically, they have very, very few officers who know their shit.

From telegram groups of people supplying Ukrainian frontline:
  • Intercept: unit A - got 150 satellite guided rounds, but has no programmer for them
  • Unit B - was supposed to laser paint targets for helis, but their target painter didn't work
  • They change encrypted radio keys, but no officer in the field has the key programmer, so they switched back to HF walkietalkies.
  • Equipment dying to bad fuel, or multi-fuel engines failing to work on gas because no engineer knows how to switch them
  • T80 units got smart frag shells long past storage date, half of them fail to detonate
  • Their fleet tried to fire ASMs on land targets, and simply forgetting that it has no satellites there to relay guidance
And of course, as Russia is losing the few of its very valuable, and irreplaceable high value units, Ukraine will only be getting stronger PGM-wise, and with ranged fire.

Russians basically used up their trump card for nothing bombing cities, and killing territorials, while regular force, and high value Ukrainian units will now outnumber Russians even without reservists, and territorials.

Russia was a protos player, thinking it was a zerg, and using all of the high value stuff as a cannon fodder.


The only advantage they have now is massed artillery. But their artillery advantage is going to be degraded as the M777s come online. And with the new $20B US package upcoming, I expect hundreds of new artillery pieces to enter the fight.

Russia has now fired almost 2,000 cruise and ballistic missiles. They’ve got to be near 50% PGM depletion.

M777 lacks the range to engage Russian artillery. Not only will most M777 be knocked out by Russian armed drones flying around, Smerch can knocked out M777 from a distance using 120 km range GLONASS guided rounds.

The M777s are superior to any Russian towed artillery and can be rapidly deployed after firing. Their counter battery radars can rapidly identify Russian artillery and return fire with guided rounds within 60-90 seconds.

Ukrainian artillery has been excellent.
