Hezbollah was also using Kornets to knock out Israeli tanks in 2006. Russia has very little concern who they sell their stuff to. They're not going to do something like sell a T-14 to the US of course but otherwise they'll sell stuff to pretty much anyone. And you don't need buckets of money for Russian stuff.

I think in all these cases it's the export variant. For example, Iskander-M is 415-550km whereas Iskander-E is 280km range. Algeria and Armenia seem to operate Iskander-E.
