Russia has almost completely replaced obsolete Soviet electronics of both Soyuz spacecraft and Soyuz rocket with modern tech.

- trasz 4y agoGiven that Russia can’t even manufacture ordinary cars (or phones, or computers…), I’m not convinced about this “modern” replacement. They probably just figured how to replace custom technology with COTS stuff bought from the West. Especially given Russian fakes like the Sputnik vaccine (“clinical tests” were made up), or their hypersonics (which are just a plane-launched ballistic missiles), or drones.

"their hypersonics (which are just a plane-launched ballistic missiles)" You are confusing Zircon [2] with Kinzhal [1].

- trasz 4y agoWell, sure it did, it’s a good old Soviet design. Too bad it’s dead now, but hey. As for confusing - nope, both “hypersonics” are hypersonic by name only. We could see their fantastic performance on that barn.
