He's not a missions character and he'll be jumping into an ongoing campaign so he was made with 15 additional karma spent (but no additional money has been spent).
Short backstory (if anyone's interested in fluff): Foma Antonovich Kiniaev was born in the concrete suburbs of Moscow, around 2050. He was never really good at sports being born with brittle bones. Always dreaming about being a fighter pilot, Foma studied some mechanics and simpler engineering before being conscripted into the Air Force. If not for his determination to be a pilot and his luck, he wouldn't have gotten through basic training. Much to his dismay, he was told he could never be a pilot with his bad physique; so he was trained to be a drone pilot and an electronic warfare technician. He spent a long year deployed in Chechnia, gaining some combat experience with drones and defusing IEDs, unexploded munitions etc. Being told he'll never fly made him bitter, combining that with the stress of combat he started drinking. Luckily, he was honourably discharged before his problems could have gotten him court-martialed. He spent some time whoring around East-Asia before moving to Seattle, where he started working in construction doing demolitions, and some odd jobs for the Vory. Slowly the shadows lured him in; thinking maybe one day he could buy a real T-Bird or just a combat helicopter, he started doing runs. He has a strong skillset and good cyberware, courtesy of the Russian Federation (the army didn't remove them because most of it was already used).

SIN etc:
Fake SIN R4 + R4 licenses: gun, concealed carry, explosives, rigger, drones, electronics (as in jammers). This is ofc an UCAS SIN.
+(actual Russian SIN, he practically never uses it. I think he's a de jure illegal immigrant).
Personal weapons and armor:
Ares Predator V (3 clips of APDS), QD holster
"TT 2065" (Colt America), 3 clips of Gel, Wireless Laser Sight, Hidden Arm Slide
Russian pilot synthleather jacket, Armor Vest (9, Non-Cond. 3, Fire Res. 3, Insulated 3), Helmet (Armored Russian tanker helmet).
Combat Knife.
Other non-drone or vehicle stuff: Wl. Medkit R6, Armorer Kit, Survival Kit, Survival Knife, Gas Mask, Mini Welder, Antidote Patch (R6), Trauma Patch, 2 Meta Link commlinks (since he uses the RCC as a commlink, these are throwaways), Microtransceiver, Satellite Link (on the Ares Roadmaster, connected to the RCC if need be), Silver Credstick.
Vehicles:
Suzuki Mirage w/ rigger interface.
Ares Roadmaster w/ rigger interface, R7 Sensor Array ("Combat setup": Smartlink, V. Mag, Thermal, Ultrasound, Radio Signal Scanner, Flare Comp.)
2 Weapon Mounts w/ Ares Alphas ("AK 2074"). 250-250 APDS, 6-6 HE gren.
Drones:
3 Roto-Drones. 2-2 Ares Alphas, R6 Wl. Directional Jammers (these are on a collapsible rod, approx. 1.9 metres from the body of the drone. Ie. they look like the tails of normal helicopters, they're pointing roughly where the guns are and their field of effect completely encompasses the drone itself, thus acting as ECM and ECCM both. All sensor suites are equipped they same way the Roadmaster is (other than being the default Rating 3 ofc). The Alphas are loaded with Regular and Gel ammo by pairs and HE and thermal smoke or flashbangs.
2 Flying Eyes. "Non-Combat Setup" sensors = they don't have Smartlink and Flare Compensation. R6 wl directional jammers, similar build to the Rotodrones, these are 3.6 cms from the body of the drone, since jammers are extremely small (pretty much like a 'bug' etc) they shouldn't mess with the aerodynamics.
2 Fly-Spies. Same sensors as the Eyes, no jammers. They look like dragonflies because they're prettier than flies.
4 Kanmushies, same sensors as the Eyes, no jammers.
RCC: Vulcan Liegelord running/sharing these: Virtual Machine, Encryption, Signal Scrub, Clearsight 6, [Ares Alpha] Gunnery, [Rotodrone] Manoveur 6.
I intend to run matrix defense for the team (slaving their smartlinked guns to the RCC and jamming and/or shooting enemy deckers if possible), drone reconaissance (I would give them like 3 kanmushis and recon rooms etc for them). The Flying Eyes are for jamming deckers or just smartguns, the Fly-Spies are normal recon. The Roto-drones would try to suppress enemies thus giving covering fire or a diversion. And they would get the hell out before getting shot down since they cost a lot :'D And of course the Roadmaster does the exfiltration if necessary, serves as my base of operations and fallback point for the drones.
Thank you all for any advice or critique!
