how is europe going to make its own microwave amplifiers without IC's from places like AD? Communications are extremely strategicly imporant. Do you really wanna buy Chinese comm equipment?
This is either a internal shakedown of adjacent internal high tech industry (i.e. government benefits from shit that's going to be produced no matter what) being piggybacked on a political agenda, hamfisted, or in coohoots with venture capitalists that told politicians that they can produce those goods internally or establish favorable supply chains that don't exist currently and may outlast the war due to convenience but not be put in place without a war (damage control, harden the country (less demands on overseas stuff so you get harder to supply block and shit in a time of war, military likes this and can sleep easier), in addition to being a reasonable measure of course.
If someone feels that the communications/MIC industry is basically forced for security reasons to buy American products for microwave (used heavily in aviation too), then the goverment is basically shaking them down, since their supply lines can't change and your just taxing a corporation. This may mean that the tax structure is not correctly weighed in the EU if these feelings exist and the situation is like this scenario envisions. They know that the European MIC won't downsize significantly because of Russia (look at Ukraine for the last 5 years)... all those countries are paranoid about Russia, so I strongly suspect this is just a random tax being thrown in there. It's well known that MIC basically sees the government as a cash cow, so this is how the government fights back. Lobbiests must not have penetrated to control the association that decides tarrifs. Payback for the insane government contract pricing.
It's also well known that in a real conflict (look at what happened in Georgia/Russia) Russia will rely very heavily on electronics warfare and command and control, so any competent military will want to have the best possible shit to fight in this area, which IMO will mean American stuff. A big reason why that was a landslide victory for Russia is because of how well they carried out EW during the early stages of the conflict.
German motors are of high quality so it does make sense to restrict import of shitty American ones into Europe.

85437009 Touch screens without display capabilities, for incorporation into apparatus having a display (excl. those for
electric control of subheading 85371095)
More difficult to make reliable semiconductor manufacturing with these two in place.
