The enormous military purchases involved funds exceeding 10 million Australian dollars, and the pure profit alone was at least 4 million Australian dollars.
The bulk of the weapons procurement orders belonged to the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire's crazy expansion has led to many soldiers not yet receiving their weapons.
In the current Russian army, there is a tradition of seizing weapons. Of course, not from their comrades-in-arms, but from the bodies that fall on the battlefield.
As long as the weapon is taken quickly from the body, it belongs to the individual, whether from an enemy or a comrade-in-arms.
This has led to a rather chaotic logistics situation in Russia, with Russian-made guns, British and French-supplied guns, Australasian-made guns, and German-made guns all mixed together, creating an even more chaotic 'International arsenal'.
