It's not what ASML does - ASML exec reported that some other company does this
- reaperducer 4y agoAnd according to the New York Times, this is the reason that Russian troops are looting major appliances from Ukraine, and trucking them back home. There must be some interesting chips in washing machines these days.

- nebula8804 4y agoWhy not just pull the circuit boards and truck those home? Do you really have to take the rest of the machine?
- tomxor 4y agoMaybe they are... alternatively maybe they aren't and it's simply easier and faster to tell troops to chuck washing machines onto trucks rather than spend time dismantling them and learning how to identify the relevant parts and remove them without damage, not to mention Russia has a lot of spare fuel now.
- freemint 4y agoI find the connection to acquiring electronic parta dubious. No one would transport washing machines on tanks when other transportation means exist. Plundering by badly disciplined troops looks much more likely.
