Did they get the transformers though?
No idea.
They say they got control and power supply systems. I'd assume that must have meant the transformers. Of course newer locomotives do rely heavily on computers even in the Russia.
Saying that the bus itself is dangerous when the "danger" is that auto-OTP can be used to remotely make it unable to run is a bit weird. But, let's go with your phrasing.
Why would the danger be the same? (And how is this argument of yours anything else than whataboutism?)
It's a very dangerous feature that can and will be abused by China. Many devices made in many countries having the same feature does not make it any less dangerous for China's adversaries.
This will then mean that essential updates will be blocked.
The problem is that the updates can contain anything, including an attack that activates for example at a specific time, several weeks after the update. And if you block the updates, well, you won't have updates.
But why only one spot per household? Where are the two other cars going to be parked?
On tuo nyt joka tapauksessa painetta oikeaan suuntaan. Jos ei tuo tee muuta, niin se helpottaa poliittista vaikuttamista tällaisen verkoston rakentamisen puolesta.
How repairable is this?
The control systems are essentially computers. Specialized computers, to be precise. They can be repaired, as long as you have the chips it takes, but of course those chips are then away from being used in drones or missiles.
The "power supply systems" probably means the transformers? Almost all of the Russia's diesel locomotives are diesel-electric, meaning that they are technically electric locomotives that come with their own power plants for producing the electricity the locomotive needs. A transformer is typically filled with transformer oil. Which is stuff that burns very merrily!
What are "the people in Russia"?
The Russia is a colonial project.
Yes, go for it, support the peoples currently colonized by the Russia, but absolutely do not support the Russia remaining a colonial power that enslaves several tens of nations under its rule.
Tässä prujussa tosin on se puoli, että se on pelkkä toivelista. Siinä ei millään tavalla kerrota, miten tuohon tavoitteeseen ehkä aiottaisiin päästä, vaan ainoastaan kerrotaan, mitä olisi fiksua tavoitella.
Tässä aiheesta lyhyt blogahdus Jon Worthilta: https://jonworth.eu/when-a-plans-not-a-plan-and-a-revolution-isnt-a-revolution-european-high-speed-rail/
Ei ole tarpeen, mutta jos kansalaisuutta ei ole, rintamalle pakottaminen on paljon vaikeampaa. Pitää saada tyyppi allekirjoittamaan monisivuinen dokumentti lukematta sitä lainkaan.
Mutta jos kansalaisuuden saa, sitten kyllä tulee lähes heti kärrätyksi rintamalle kuolemaan.
Mut, en oikein näe Anoa kielenoppijatyyppinä.
Mitä työtä se oikein voi Venäjällä keksiä? Vai meinaako elää sopeutumisrahoillaan vaan? Vrnäjä saattaisi haluta hänet sotakirjeenvaihtajaksi?
Mut, jos hänen viimeinen ilmeensä tallentuu lentävään kameraan hänen Venäjällä toilaillessaan, en ole harmissani.
Withholding that amount of resources from others when you have no need for them yourself is a political position.
They have several thousand locomotives. To reduce their traffic 10 % by destroying locomotives, they would need to destroy several hundred locomotives.
But of course, each locomotive is needed for something, so every locomotive lost brings down the efficiency of the Russian economy.
