Maybe our outdated nuke warheads that have the old 60s style electronics will survive better than Russia's upgraded electronics.

Too bad most transmitters have gone solid state. And the managers are so short sighted they junked the tube transmitters to save space.

I have one (circa 1955) that is fully functioning
and I have a full set of spare tubes for it.
Won’t be of much use though if the electric grid goes down...

It would be good to have a vehicle that was built before electronic ignition also. I think the old clunkers will still run.
