Given the let's create a tidal wave from a nuclear torpedo and sink the British Isles nonsense we saw on Russian TV a few weeks back it's pretty clear they're utterly clueless or at least pandering to some cartoonish version of how nukes work for domestic consumption. :D

Rusi report on the silicon chips is interesting looks like many parts like the TI dsp's are from the 80's , so russia could have stockpiled a lot of them,
and some recent ARM cores in the ST parts used in russian UAV ...
