    It is reported that in this list, hundreds of component models are divided into three levels - extremely important, important and average.

    Among the 25 models in the "extremely important" list, the vast majority of chips are made by American chip giants Marvell, Intel (Altera), Holt (aerospace chips), Microchip, Micron, Broadcom and Texas Instruments.

    In addition, it also includes a few models from IDT (acquired by Nisa, a Japanese company), Sepras (acquired by Infineon, a German company), the power module of American Vicor and the connector of American AirBorn. Some of these models are easy to find inventory, but some key main chips are in long-term out of stock.

    The editor noticed that the most expensive chip was the FPGA of Intel (Altera), with the model of 10M04DCF256I7G. The purchase price of each chip was as high as 66815.77 rubles or 1107 euros, which was nearly 7700 yuan. Before the chip shortage, its cost will be less than 20 euros.

    It is reported that due to the shortage of supply, Intel has increased the price of some of its FPGAs, including the MAX10 series to which this model belongs. See Intel‘s letter: increase the price of some FPGAs by up to 20%. At present, no spot inventory can be found in all major channels.

    In general, Russian weapons still rely heavily on Western electronic components. There was also news feedback before that, after studying the 27 Russian weapons seized by the Uzbek army, it was found that two-thirds of their micro electronic components were from American companies, and the total number even exceeded 450, which were from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and Taiwan, while the proportion of American companies‘ products reached 70%! The products of American ADI and Texas Instruments are nearly a quarter of all western components!
