Since WWII, Russia has been a powerhouse in the global arms trade, but in the last few years, their exports have declined sharply. So in this video, we explain why is no buying Russian weapons, and why their performance in Ukraine hasn’t helped the issue.

    Most of today countries have smaller professional armies, while Russian equipment is more like designed for conscripts. Yes, it's realiable, but well trained soldiers can benefit from more advanced technology and you don't need that much of weapons for a smaller professional army. Russian rifles still don't even have bolt hold open and ergonomics is still like from 40s and that's just a one example.
    Another problem is obviously that spare parts are not available anymore and Russia can't make enough weapons even for themselves, so you can't rely on them even when your country is more friendly to Russia.

    They produce new antiquated equipment. Old technology.
    Simply- their stuff sucks

  16. @jackmclane1826

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Possibly yes. But let's face it: Mordor does not have enough arms to sell currently anyway. And they surely have a "no delivery in case we need all our stuff ourselves" option in the contracts.
    We should wait what happens when the dust settles after the war.

    Vote Blue in 2024, if republicans get in power they will not only turn the US into a Fascist country but they will end aid to Ukraine and Russia will continue it's terror across Europe. Nobody wants this to happen, even idiots.

    You have subjective position on similar events. Russia invades Ukraine and Ukraine tries to get its land back, Russia is aggressor.. Armenia invades Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan tries to take it back after 20 years of preparation, Azerbaijan is aggressor. Armenia tries to use minority in Karabag to legitimize its invasion, but they invaded twice Karabag. Calling Azerbaijan’s battles in its borders against invadimg Armenian forces “agression” is the same as calling Ukrainian offensives against Russia in its own borders “aggression”.

    One thing the whole world knows is how Western nations so-called high-tech equipment are biting dust against old and so called useless less efficient Russian weapons…

  25. @MasterShif00.

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Because western are brainwash by US and so collectively US led west doesn't like Russia. But most of all Russian weapon do well in Ukraine against western weapon…. forget about Soviet era weapon..we all see the result in Ukraine.. russian modern weapon are more effective than the Westerners weapon😊

  27. @joem0088

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Ha, isn't it obvious ? Russia is using all it capacity towards a war, a building a stock for possible escalation to full NATO conflict. Export is the last thing on its mind. The West on the other hand should find ways to increase its 155mm shell and HIMMAS rocket production. It's so un becoming of a superpower to be "out of ammo" in the middle of a conflict.

  28. @ALEXFVHS

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Its less of a problem when they don't have them

    Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is a disaster on several levels. Russian oil sales are down , arm sales are down, demographics are down, and the economy is down.

  32. @johnhehir508

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Why are Russian arm sales down ,could it be because if you nation is at war you keep your own weapons production to fight the war,And make sure your enemy can not get its hands on your weapons so they can not analyse them 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙉🙊🙈

  33. @ismailalfiyasin2714

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    No Russia weapon need to test in Ukraine before it's sold to other country

  34. @TheRagingSound

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    We all know why the US sell more weapons..😉

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    a significant part of us arms sales are in fact belgian weapons made under licens in the us ,check your facts !.even us special forces use FN (belgian ) weapons ,again check your facts before ya start -+talking nonsence! ps Browning ,most think of Browning as us brand wile de facto it is owned by FNH (belgian compagny)

  43. @truspeak247

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    You are dreaming they are better off than western countries weapons by far look at the damage they are inflicting on ikraine and more countries making orders

  44. @mdtubeaccount2965

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Lol I’m sure sanctions and pressure from the US had nothing to do with it

  45. @patrickdayton2080

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    This is another fake news because Russia army market is performing better for Russia. The same goes for western dependent countries are also be used by NATO and Use weapons soft power

  46. @simonharris6705

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Do your Home work .Saudi,s are Not NATO members Nor has Chine been a Soviet state

  47. @robertoaseremo4163

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    The why Russia Arms.export suddenly become to collapse and due to sanction. Imposed by West and since Annexed in Crimea in 2014 and the West implement Counter America Through Sanction Action or CATSA

  48. @robertoaseremo4163

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    The reason why Armenia 🇦🇲 is distancing to buy military hardware and equipment from Russia to West ? Because Armenia have accussed Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 have across border in the Nagorno Karabakh region that Russia tolerate it

  49. @SaraK_69

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    Putin needs to be a good man and give up his murdering in Ukraine.

  50. @coala1980

    February 13, 2024 at 3:41 am

    China will be the leading arms producer by 2032 .India is been always buying cheap importer models of planes and tanks this goes back to 1960's.The scary part is that countries like Iran and Turkey both produce good quality and cheap arms and this will be a huge problems for countries like Russia,US,France and Germany.
    Russia have good things to sell s-400 and new s-500 will be highly marketable same as t-90m tank and su-35 there is not shortage of buyers.The main problem for Russia is that their own military demand is very high due to the conflict in Ukraine and for the next couple years i doubt will be any significant deals made internationally .
    US is the current leader in small arms market and f-16 and f-35 are good money makers but same as Russia,US is going into process of replacing old equipment and armaments there is been huge delays for orders dating back to 2008 from NATO members countries and other ailed countries.
    France and Germany are on verge of difficult decision the arm industry is been slowing dying in both due to competition from US and China.Europeans ignored arms industry for very long time.
    I been looking with interest what is happening with Samsung in South Korea and Japan both Asian nations are heavily investing in new production lines and war technology .Korea already producing a good quality and cheap alternatives of US equipment and Japan is developing their own fifth generation fighter which is more advance then anything in existence…
