    How do you translate the following sentence? In particular, what does exactly сбоев mean here?

    - В этих условиях развитые страны становятся все более зависимыми от неожиданных сбоев в поставках.

    сбоев. I think it is "failures" or the likes of.

    As a matter of fact I think your sentence says:

    In these conditions developed countries become more dependant on unexpected failures in supplies.

    But you better wait until someone else can verify

    This is what my dictionary says;

    сбой masc.
    1) misstep; mishap; breakdown (not mental)
    2) chitlins (can also be leg or brain)

    Сбой = chitlins? No way! Your dictionary tries to deceive you!
