“Russian positions in the global arms market are strengthening, and this despite the strengthening of the sanctions regime and unfair competition,” the Kremlin’s press service quotes the head of state.
He noted that the export of Russian military equipment is growing: in 2019, goods worth $ 13 billion were shipped.
As the Russian leader emphasized, this is more than $ 2 billion more than in the same period last year.
Earlier it was reported that over the past five years, Russia has annually exported weapons worth more than $ 2 billion to the Middle East.
Dmitry Shugaev, head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said in an interview with RT that the restrictive measures of the West did not negatively affect Moscow’s position on the world arms market.
According to him, the most popular abroad are domestic aviation and air defense systems, including the S-400.
