As other have mentioned already, QFE / meters is manageable but represents a big threat indeed. Historically several airlines have had their own share of troubles with Russian altimetry system so it still amazes me that nothing is done to mitigate this very simple risk. How many Tupolev and Ilyushin are still flying around (especially in and out Moscow) compared to Boeing and Airbus "Qnh only" airplanes ?
