It’s also difficult to keep third parties from reselling parts to a sanctioned country.
Yeah there was a big hullabaloo after parts from some tiny Irish lawnmower engine manufacturer were found in a Russian drone. Government take the sanctions seriously here. Big investigation and it turned out to be exactly that.
@floo @Sunshine You know, it strikes me as being extraordinarily naive in a sense to even try to impose sanctions on these things. It is impossible to regulate this kind of commerce in world trade any longer. People just do not pay attention to those restrictions, or if they do, it is only to devise methods by which to evade them. It doesn’t seem to be worth doing in many respects. Unless you could make them inoperable by specified entities or in certain applications, I don’t have an answer.

Wasn’t there a picture of a russian pilot flying with a garman or tomtom gps? I’m pretty sure this was taken during this war.
I believe it was an Mi 24 helicopter, IIRC. Very funny.
@Agent641 @SupraMario That might work. Those things update pretty fast. There are better things to use, but not bad.
whenever anything bad happens anywhere there’s like a similar 67% chance it was manufactured in the US slave colonies
