Russia hopes to increase arms exports in the coming years, but this is "empty dreams." This opinion was expressed by military expert Peter Suchiu in an article for The National Interest.
According to Russian analysts, the current volume of Russian arms sales is about $13.75 billion. They expect exports to grow. However, Moscow's desire to increase arms exports is an empty dream.
The author of The National Interest recalled that in the report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Russia ranked only third in the export of weapons and military equipment.
The United States retained its leading position, France overtook Russia due to demand for Dassault Rafale fighters, submarines, and frigates.
The SIPRI report confirms that India and China have become less dependent on Russian military equipment. Both countries are expanding domestic production.
Moscow has struggled to find buyers for the Su-57, showcasing the fighters at several major international air shows. Hopes for sales of the T-14 Armata main battle tank and the S-400 Triumph SAM system have also not been justified.
