They will just wind up BEING chinese products, carefully and cleverly rebranded
Russia being Russia, it’s much cheaper to just change the definition of “domestic” and not give a shit about the rebranding bit. Also, with China being China, there is also a level of “rebranding” that happens with components unless strict QA processes are implemented by the buyers.
They never really recovered from the cold war and there was another mass exodus of brain power due to the Ukrainian war.
They are basically fucked unless they can stop their shit and start getting along with other countries. There are dozens of companies that would love to sell them stuff legally.
