I'd have to check, but if Russia itself deployed these, they might be in
violation of some arms treaties, particularly due to the fact that they
are disguised not to appear to be launchers.
Somebody over in Russia sure spotted a potential customer market though,
and many countries would line up for them, or just have a ball making
others think they might have them.
By the end of the week, Israel will claim Iran is going to buy them,
Iran will claim they have had their indigenous version in service for
years, Russia will claim China has stolen the design and is making a
rip-off version which they have sold to Pakistan, Pakistan will say the
only reason they got them is because India bought some from the US, and
the US will tell Israel to shut the **** up and stop selling our
technology to the Chinese.


And Russia will be very surprized at what all these people do with
something that is nothing but a concept yet.
