You do realize that perfume is not for making money but to show alternative. Arabs can invest in perfume brands based on Russian technology. they have plenty of labor in Middleast.
The same reason they are making really expensive Automobiles.. I have indicated that Russia is creating Africo Atlantic or Arabo Atlantic just like there is Indo Pacific.
Icebreaker Sibir begins sea trials
18 November 2021Russia's newest nuclear-powered icebreaker, the Sibir, has left the Baltic Shipyard and headed into the Gulf of Finland for sea trials. Two more identical ships are under construction at the shipyard near Saint Petersburg.

Underway on nuclear power: Sibir begins sea trials (Image: Baltic Shipyard)
Sibir is the first series-produced universal icebreaker of so-called Project 22220, after the first of that class, the Arktika, which entered operation a year ago. Like Arktika, Sibir is powered by two RITM-200 reactors of 175 MWt each, which together deliver 60 MW at the propellers via twin turbine generators and three motors.
Over the next three weeks, the sea trials will check the vessel's general performance, as well as its electrical and power systems. Communication and navigation systems will be tested, as will physical systems like its cranes and its helipad.
The Baltic Shipyard said it expects to hand Sibir over to its future operator Atomflot before the end of this year.
Two further Project 22220 icebreakers are under construction at the shipyard. The Ural is set for delivery in the second half of 2022, and the Chukotka at the end of 2024.
A variation of the RITM-200 reactor design used on Project 22220 icebreakers is planned for deployment on floating power plants at Cape Nagloynyn, although barges for this will be made by the Chinese shipbuilder Wison because Russian shipyards were too busy. Another variation of the RITM-200 for use on land is planned for Ust-Kuyga. While the nuclear-powered icebreakers will ensure year-round passage of the Northern Sea Route, the stationary nuclear units are dedicated to development of remote mineral resources and Arctic ports along the way.

Now there are T-80's with new umbrella style armor against munitions coming from above. Before only T-72's were seen with this style armor.
It is not a professional work, and the cage could be effecive against old, RPG-7 kind of weapons, not modern ones.
Actually it could increase the effectiveness of a modern shaped charge, instead of reduce it in bad case, in good case it won't do anything.
The person whom desinged it has no clue about the basic geometry calculations of the ERA vs shaped charge.
And one of the supporting column actually blocking the gunner's sight, as well the ERA block casually droped sideways.
Based on the wellies and the lack of insignia if I have to bet I would say these are palamiritary groups, maybe one of the Ukrainan battalion, like the Azov ?
The Donets/Luthanks groups could get Russian help, so they would not make this kind of mistake.
