Did they get the transformers though? Some diesel engines there is just wires between the cab and the transformer and no computers. You select which winding to use with a simple switch. These days I'd expect in-cab computers, but you can run without if you don't care about safety (which we already know Russia doesn't)
No idea.
They say they got control and power supply systems. I'd assume that must have meant the transformers. Of course newer locomotives do rely heavily on computers even in the Russia.
