We've known since the start of the Ukraine conflict that pretty much all major SBCs can be found in use by both sides.
Why is this news? This is old af
@nullagent @mhoye this is news because russia is successfully evading sanctions. "It is known" is not the same as direct evidence of circumnavigation of export bans.
Give me ANY western chip maker and I'll show it in a Russia drone.
Imo this isn't happening bc these companies don't care. This is happening bc computers are literally everywhere.
There are a gazillion units of any given popular SBC.
Its completely not surprising to find a super power in possession of hundreds or thousands where tens of millions have been made.
When will Raspberry Pi make a superpower stop getting hold of its latest gear?
@mhoye i think we knew about fairly current nvidia chips in these drones some months ago iirc. the video shows them at a much larger scale. none of this should really be all that much of a surprise, it's just the scale of the operation that's unbelievable. i'll bet there's a hell of a lot more to this, a hell of a lot beyond what popped this week.
All popular SBCs have been found in use by both sides for years. This is old news
Having said that, holy shit:
"Within days of this exchange Gamers Nexus exclusively received evidence from the front line of the Russia Ukraine war of NVidia AI Edge Jetson processors in Russian drones dismantled on one of our own soldering mats."
This is the tech-journalism flex of the decade.
