        If they are making their own then they aren’t using them. I refuse to believe that they wouldn’t if they could. Therefore the US has probably told them to not use them in exchange for steady re-supply or intelligence access.

          This is a game of shadows, too; Russia can’t know about it until it is too late for them.
