@fatgrubman645 They may be deepening trade ties, but it's because Russia is running out of trade partners. Turkiye isn't a wealthy country and in the middle of an economic crisis, so they're not in the position to really refuse. They're basically extorting Russia in as they're in a position of weakness.
Ultimately, as I said, their foreign policy is very segmented. This means that everything is on a case by case basis, not holistic. Russia has money they need to hide? They're quite happy to accept it. However, remember that Turkiye is the one that refuses to let Russia put more ships into the black sea, that they're building ships for Ukraine, that they negotiated the grain deal (a benefit for Ukraine), and that they've themselves given and sold weapons to the country, as well as having the position I said earlier of saying that even Crimea is Ukrainian. Realistically, it seems the reason Turkiye doesn't do more is that it needs to preserve diplomatic firepower to get concessions out of Russia. Which even then, serves to keep Russia from making bolder moves as they do still have things to lose.
Personally, I've heard nothing of sanctions busting efforts by Turkiye, so I can't speak on that.

E Nope. Sure it has a ridiculous amount of powder, a few things to understand:
With a barrel as short as 8.5" you get the same energy from 7.62x51 as 7.62x39, but win tons of drawbacks like increase concussion, increased muzzle flash, and a whole lot more recoil (which only increases with increased powder).
It's also important to understand that for the ranges with which an SBR is applicable, the 5.56 can still pierce modern body armor. The 6.8 cartridge is intended to pierce it at range where 5.56 is limited. Also you can carry more 5.56 in a magazine of the same size as you can for full power.
Thus, the only thing you have from a raptor, is a very loud toy. Only maybe as effective, with more drawbacks, and only possible benefit being streamlining ammo, but you want a weapon which is designed for your CQB Assault squads regardless which 5.56 is half designed for as an intermediate cartridge.
