Hi All,
Soviet era designs are still being used in many parts of the world. Parts look very different and I cannot help but think that some may function differently.
Were any of these components in any way 'better' than what the other side was producing or is producing today? Their transistors look very different but most I have encountered have large metal casings - I presume this might have something to do with EMP resistance but I am only guessing (I know they used valves on aircraft radar for this reason, apparently).
If anyone has any knowledge on these components and how they work I wouldn't mind hearing about it...also, do they still use the same style of components on the Russian parts of the International Space Station?
