Russian man who sought to buy restricted thermal rifle sights (eMagin Inside) to leave United States

"The agent stated that Kvinikadze had a Russian friend with him at the show when he met with the undercover agent. During the meeting, Kvinikadze's friend said in Russian to tell the agent that they needed 3,000 of the sights that can cost around $10,000 each, depending on features."
