this shit is ancient, 30 years old node and russians had access to smaller nodes anyway (90nm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_4R4X7AWtU this is situation from 2022, doubt it got much better, could even get a fair bit worse
The design/manufacturing of a chip is separate from the lithography machine itself
This is the first lithography machine Russia has built. They’d be getting the 90nm ones probably from ASML
they won't be getting anything from ASML because of sanctions, fabless is also out as TSMC also won't supply them with chips for the same reason
Which is why they’re trying to make their own now
