So it would be pretty silly for Russia to ban similar cameras for fear of state secrets being uncovered, right?

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I think the regulation is totally stupid. Why bother regulating something over which you have no control of? It is just putting unnecessary barriers for domestic innovators while your real competition is not wasting precious cycles.
