“ the firm made a net profit of $2.6 million. It was last on Defense News’ list of the top 100 defense companies in the world in 2018, where it ranked 46th place, having brought in $1.865 billion in defense revenue for 2017.”

Sounds like Hollywood. Films gross in the tens to hundreds of millions, yet rarely make a profit; a lot of “overhead”. In this firms case (Russia), it sure points to skimming by someone(s).

On another note, not sure I understand the comment; “this will replace an infantry platoon”. Why wouldn’t a T-90 do the same? Thirty weapons and sixty (+/-) eyes is hard to replace with a five person crew, one of which is probably preoccupied with driving.
