Them saying that Latin symbols on PCB and other places could not come from Russia is quite lame. As if Russians these days mark everything in Cyrillic.

Relax mate. The guys just mocked Russian “аналогов нет” propaganda, when referring to Latin silkscreen labels. I can attest this as fluent Russian and Ukrainian speaker ;)

The absence of Cyrillic symbols says nothing about the country of origin of PCB. Japanese DSLR was made in China, lens in Thailand, engine in Japan, PCB was bought from Aliexpress, fuel tank and cap were recycled from used Coke bottle, airframe was built by kids in Boy Scouts camp (“дворец пионеров”), software was written by undergrad students, payments were pocket by MOD generals to finance London real estate properties and Italian win yards. The generals did not share with FSB, so CEO was jailed.

FSB accused the supplier and its CEO of embezzlement of 446 million rubles (over $6 million) from Russian taxpayers on 26 DOD contracts to supply equipment for the Orlan-10 UAVs. CEO was jailed in July and released on bail in November, pending lawsuit.

Ah, so this is why they skimped on the warning signs...
