Also people tend to discount the time taken to create documentation like user manuals. Especially in this case where I expect any documentation would be written in Russian and then they would need to find a translator fluent with a grasp of the appropriate technical language.
As an example Australia Navy recently introduced the MU90 Light Weight Torpedo. There was a significant holdup in their deployment as French and Italian data and test reports of the weapon system were supplied in their original languages.
Not only did they need to have excelent French/Italian/English technical translation skills they also had to have the appropriate security clearance! It took them a long time to find one!
Cheers!
