The Armed Forces was depreciated by the Russian military. As the war in Ukraine changes the situation in the arms market

In real military conditions, Russian weapons proved its ministry. Military expert Alexei Kopitko reflects on how, as a result, Russia loses its position in the world weapons market. The failed results of the Kiev shelling by the Russians, probably, were very pleased with people in another city. In Beijing. Weapons are a tool (geo) of political influence. Equally effective for money. Less Russian weapons are less than Russian influence.

No wonder the USSR sowed with its weapons the country of social camps and those who "did not join" to strengthen "friendship and cooperation". Asia, Africa, South and Latin America were (and remained) the field of intensive competition of weapons. Russia tried to keep this tool as possible, providing modernization, service and ammunition for Soviet production techniques, gradually diluting it in Russian.

Since there were not many cases of visual clash of high -tech (post) of Soviet weapons with Western, there was some misunderstanding about efficiency. Because exhibitions and training are one thing, and the war is very clear. The Ukrainian army showed everything clearly: Russian analogues do not stand out for competition. Russia, as a provider of a wide tool line, has undermined its authority. It is not technical and not economical - it is first and foremost a political failure.

It de facto leaves from the Higher League and stands near a couple of dozens of other countries. The remnants of high -tech (ie expensive) Russian weapons will even after the end of the war in the narrowing market. And in the niche of relatively simple, unpretentious and inexpensive weapons, which are the main tool in dialogue with poor countries, there will be competition with the same China. This does not mean that Russia is going in this area tomorrow.

The Russians are also studying in war as we do. Russian Reb/Rer, Drones and Bading ammunition, Armored vehicles - everything is also tested in battle, as on our part. The interest in these products by third countries will be. But Comrade Lavrov will not be welcomed. Because now he does not have much delicious on his hand. Plus the sanctions through which force majeure is possible. Plus the question of whether Moscow will guarantee supply when it needs. Rapid movement towards North Korea.
