BREAKINGFive people reported dead in attack on Kyiv TV tower​

Ukrainian emergency services say five people were killed in the Russian attack on the Kyiv television tower.
It's unclear whether the tower itself was hit - it remains standing, but the blast took some broadcasts off air.
BBC Monitoring understands that five more people were injured in the missile strike.
But the 380-metre (1,250ft) TV tower is still standing.
Blast in TV Tower in Kyiv, Ukraine. 1 March 2022.

It's possible depending on if those companies depend on any US designed chips. Several Chinese telecoms including huawei had their wings clipped because although the chips are made in ROC/ROK, the designs come from the US and can be regulated. Depends on the details and how aggressive the administration wants to be.
 
Some interesting tidbits. While some advanced units have quality comms, many do not. Lots of listening and jamming of Russian communications.

Thats not true though. Huawei was blocked from using TSMCs fabs to make the chips. ARM is not an american company, and even if it was its pretty much an open standard that any licensee can do whatever they want with.
 
Excerpt from a White House Press Briefing from Feb. 28. Jen Psaki:

Okay. I just wanted to get — start off and give you — highlight some of the ongoing assistance — obviously, we made a number of announcements over the weekend — to get everybody up to speed. We have some charts to give you all the specifics, in case that is helpful.

The United States is the largest provider of assistance to Ukraine, and President Biden has committed more security assistance to Ukraine over the past year than the United States has provided at any other time in history.

On Friday night, the President authorized an additional $350 million of military assistance in support of Ukraine’s frontline defenders as they face armored, airborne, and other threats. He did so hours after speaking with President Zelenskyy to ask him what support he needed.

We are working to expedite deliveries from the latest package the President approved — I would note that the prior package that we had already announced has been ongoing and — and has been delivered, even in the last few days — parts of that — of that package. We expect equipment to start arriving within the next couple of days from this package.

That brought the total security assistance we’ve approved for Ukraine to $1 billion over the past year. It is the third time the President has expedited emergency security assistance for Ukraine’s defense in recent months using the Presidential Drawdown Authority. We’re also working with NATO Allies to facilitate the transfer of U.S.-made equipment from their inventories to Ukraine.

Interesting... if the wings are still intact, maybe they can mate those and the empennage to the unfinished fuselage of the second airframe? If they're damaged beyond repair (or the second one also took significant damage) I fear that's it - I think they were originally made by TAPO in Uzbekistan, which no longer exists (TAPO that is, rather than Uzbekistan).
 
I'm all for US domestic oil production if that's what that state wants to do. Wasn't it Churchill that said "never let a good crisis go to waste?"

Well they definitely had issues that were instigated by the US; if you’re familiar with the legal specifics, please post.

TSMC uses american equipment, so the US now requires any TSMC customers to have a license from the US gov, otherwise TSMC gets frozen out by the US.

Besides executive orders it probably falls under some goofy export control law.

Wow!:

One theory for why the landings near there haven't materialized is mutiny. There have been reports today (Twitter) that marines from Crimea refused to attack Odesa. Apparently they were already sailing to the landing zone. At the time of writing these reports haven't been confirmed and should be treated with typical caution. But the authors are unlikely to have been aware of the Lukashenko map, so it is a very big coincidence. It seems to fit the story. We will see.
