"The global export of weapons has long been dominated by the United States and Russia . . . However, the gap between them has increased significantly," the report said. It is reported that exports of Russian weapons have decreased into 8 out of the 10 largest buyers. For example, in India, the number of weapons supplied has fallen by 37%, and in the remaining 7 countries - an average of 59%. On the other hand, China and Egypt began to buy more weapons in Russia.
Thus, these states have increased by 39% and 44%, respectively. "It is likely that the invasion of Ukraine will limit more Russian exports of weapons," said Simon Vesemanan SIMON SIMON SIPRI. According to him, the Kremlin has to pay much more attention to ensuring its grouping in Ukraine. In addition, Veseman said Newsweek that the second problem for Russia is the pressure on Russian weapons from the United States.
Yes, Washington, according to the expert, put pressure on India and Indonesia, which is why they decided to give up a significant share of Russian weapons. States also affected Egypt to give up planes from the Russian Federation. According to Veseman, Russia had problems with weapons export before Putin decided to start a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. Yes, the United States presses on buyers, and they also offer access to their technologies instead of Russian.
An unnamed source told reporters that Russia's export contracts were "receded into the farthest angle", since Moscow is a priority for Moscow. "I suspect that there will be significant delays in the execution of even real transactions due to the combination of the termination of the supply of spare parts of foreign production and the struggle for increasing domestic production," the source said. According to him, the whole world sees how Russian weapons in Ukraine shows itself.
And it "does not inspire" potential buyers. In addition, Russia has decided to buy Kamikadze drones from Iran, which has been under sanctions for many years. It also adversely affected its reputation. "I think we see the early stages of the process that resulted in Russia from the list of leading exporters of weapons in the world. . . . It will continue to trade with the Taliban and a handful of allied countries, perhaps with the help of some barter agreements, but that's all," - the source said.
