Don't get me wrong, $2.5B is A LOT of money. But that being said, in the semiconductor industry it's chicken scratch. $2.5B wouldn't even pay for the construction of a leading-edge factory shell. It wouldn't come close to purchasing the tools you need to startup a fab. And it's nowhere in the ballpark of funding hail-mary moonshot attempts at leapfrogging the established players in the industry.

Let me fix the first sentence for you:

"Russia has allocated over 240 billion rubles ($2.54 billion) to support a large-scale program to replace foreign chipmaking equipment by 2030, reports CNews. embezzlement by officials. None of the funds will be spent on chip making "

....but this one is probably more realistic:

"Russia has allocated nothing, but wants others to believe the opposite"

Time for all the chip plants to lock their doors for the Russki spies are coming, then again, they'll probably just ask the Chinese spies who have already paid a visit and got the blueprints.

It's precised that this plan doesn't mention mass production, this is just fonds to research the process.
