Do you understand the difference between 'made' and 'developed'? India developed the Param-series of supercomputers as well. What did PRC develop? Please bridge my knowledge gap in this area.haha. electronic industry is the base the military-related electronics.
it is not occasional that global fastest supercomputer once was made in Japan and USA and now is made in CHina.
MiG-29s use vacuum tubes and that is the reason why they are electronic-jam-proof! BTW, the Soviets developed many electronic instruments, starting from helmet mounted sights to automatic docking system for the Mir-Progress and Mir-Soyuz docking; docking that involves 6 degrees of freedom. Has PRC even developed a docking between two cars, leave alone spacecraft?Soviet selected electron tube ,instead of integrated circuit,when electronic industry revolution took place in 1960s-1970s.
So,from the start, the electronics industry of Soviet/Russia missed the chance and is doomed to be out of the race.
