It’s still worth noting that this objectively drives up the cost for Russia compared to simply purchasing these directly. These servers went from Dell, through Malaysia, to an Indian pharmaceutical company, and then onto Russia. This accomplishes a few things:

• It drives up the actual monetary cost through logistics.
• It limits the amount of material Russia can reasonably get their hands on in a given time period by effectively “narrowing the pipe”. So even if they can get their hands on some of it, it’s almost assuredly reduced from what they otherwise could.
• It means that loopholes are fewer and more far between and can therefore actually hurt Russia if they’re identified and closed. This closure can add additional latency too while Russia searches out a new bypass.
