Shocks, Specs, and Strategy: Mishustin, Yadro, and the Kvadra_T at CIPR

In the context of the Digital Industry conference in Industrial Russia (CIPR), the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Mishustin, was shown a vivid demonstration of the shock resistance of Yadro’s native tablet, the Kvadra_T. This event was reported by Interfax. It is claimed that Mishustin personally inspected the device at the Yadro booth and, after a brief examination, noted that the Russian tablet is somewhat heavier than its foreign rivals while highlighting its robust build. Following Mishustin’s remarks, a Yadro representative dramatized the device’s resilience by dropping the tablet with a decisive impact. The manufacturer then offered a live demonstration of the anti-shock features to the official. There is no public record within this report about whether the tablet remained functional after the test. During the conversation, Yadro executives informed Mishustin that starting in 2024 the Kvadra_T would be produced using a Russian-designed processor, and the Prime Minister requested a presentation of a finished model. Earlier coverage from socialbites.ca suggested that Mishustin announced a new CIPR initiative mandating Russian companies to contribute toward the use of foreign software, a claim presented for context in reports surrounding the event.
