wonder how much more sales the russian firewall will generate to cisco et al


Not much - there is now a law for this sort of equipment to be manufactured in Russia, with an increasing requirement of using locally manufactured components (as they gradually become available).

Currently a lot of the microelectronics is still manufactured in Asia but there has been a steady progress in acquiring capabilities to manufacture them within Russia. The costs are usually much higher due to much lower volumes, but since these mainly go to military and government infrastructure, cost is not a concern.
