There’s a very specific reason he ****’ed out the name of the units 😎
Its because Mnogotsvetnik-16 is actually just a low-noise GAN receiver unit :stupid: Jo knew the article meant nothing and tried to pass off a simple, everyday, low noise, extremely low power receiver as something significant, so he hid the unit names to talk it up. :highly_amused:
Fact of the matter is that Russia’s GaN HEMT production (all IC technologies for that matter) is now set to endure a perpetual backward slide from the rest of the world while the dual use technology sanctions are in place. As was previously shown (thank to Jo’s helpful photo tour of Istok’s plant where not a single piece of manufacturing gear was Russian sourced), Russia is currently 100% reliant on [obsolete] European manufacturing equipment.
So for the next few decades or more Russia will now need to work out how to build the manufacturing equipment, a task MUCH more difficult than just producing IC’s. In the meantime, current equipment will fail, spares and servicing will not be provided and what little production there is will dwindle away. At the end of it Russia will come out a decade or two from now with the equivalent North Korean level technology (unless they just buy Chinese).
Oh and Oldibas, before you fly off into another one of your primate-like, poo flinging tirades, don’t bother, I don’t fraternize with the knuckle dragging types, k Junebug?
ActionJacksonMan, I can understand you’re very upset that the Russians will shortly be series producing GaN-on-SiC MICs and amplifiers. As you know these are premium products compared to Al/GaN. However, it is very difficult to debate with someone who’s views are so russophobic that he wants to reinvent the periodic table to suite his (hurt) nationalistic feelings.
When you have answered (upon the 5th time of asking) the power output question for the current GaAs PAs on the NO36 (it’s here @ 01:42):

…then we’ll discuss «Многоцветник-18», which are S-band PAs with a minimum output of 250W, the end user and whether or not they too are GaN-on-SiC. Here’s a big hint:
