Western analysts have announced a noticeable drop in sales of Russian arms

Last year, Russian manufacturers weapons and military equipment sold their products for 26,4 billion USD. This is 6,5% less than a year earlier, when arms were sold for 28,2 billion.

Such data were published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

Western analysts have noted a noticeable drop in Russian arms sales, and this has been observed for three years in a row. This year, the decline in sales volumes was one of the most rapid among other major global manufacturers. It is assumed that among the main reasons for this was the completion of the ten-year state armaments program in 2020, as well as the surge in the incidence of COVID-19, which slowed down supplies.

The SIPRI survey covers 100 of the world's largest arms companies, of which nine are located in the Russian Federation. According to SIPRI, the Almaz-Antey concern showed the largest drop among the enterprises of the Russian defense industry, the sales of which decreased by 31%. On the other hand, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) posted 16 percent growth.

In the spring of this year, SIPRI published a report on the military spending of the countries of the world, which increased by 2,6 percent last year, reaching a total of almost two trillion dollars. According to this indicator, according to the analysts of the above-mentioned institute, the Russian Federation took the fourth place in the world after the USA, China and India.

The official Russian report on arms exports for the current year is expected in early 2022. It will be possible to compare with the indicators named by SIPRI.

There are always more than one reasons ...

You're an "expert" too.

Yes, yes, of course, you have to be an expert to read and summarize everything that was written earlier ... everything is elementary "Watson" is mathematics.

The main thing is that the Soviet backlog is over.

[carstorm 11]

What does it have to do with it? Forget this mantra already. What has been touched upon? What exactly ended? This fall was predicted 8 years ago. Have you heard about the plateau? When does deceleration begin after a sharp jump? It was inevitable. Plus sanctions. Plus competition from under the stick.

Something you have where you do not spit, everywhere a plateau.))))

Personally, yes. When I lose weight every year. And that's all. Can you imagine?) First, sharply down and then at least you die in the hall gets up and that's it)

[alexmach]

Take a closer look at nutrition and you will progress.

Of course) My wife eats steaks for infection. I'm cottage cheese))) This is how we live)

If this is an anomaly in the gym, unless of course you do aerobics in the women's group ...

[carstorm 11]

Anomaly?) This is what everyone faces when cutting weight)

[rocket757]

The Soviet touched the SPAS state, it is stupid to doubt this, it remains only to thank our ancestors ... BUT, there are, there are talented followers, students, the deeds of our ancestors.
I will not say that the Russian land has not become scarce, alas, we have lost too much and will still lose, but ...
Not everything is so sad, but with due diligence, the care of the state, everything will return to normal.

So the US sanctions on those who buy Russian weapons are not a factor? I mean, one of the main reasons. This is a great example of "free competition"!

[rocket757]

Well, yes, "free competition" is from the realm of fantasy, for the immature and gullible.

[Barge_watchman]

Well, prohibit buying American weapons.

They can do it, we cannot. What kind of competition can we talk about with the raw materials economy?

[Serg Kam]

So the US sanctions on those who buy Russian weapons are not a factor?

One of the factors.
US sanctions did not prevent NATO member Turkey from buying air defense systems from us.
And India refused to jointly develop the Su-57 not because of sanctions, but due to the long development time and low performance.

Again, do not forget that competitors are growing - the same China with its JF-17 successfully competes with the MiG-35.

[Zaurbek]

Sagged due to the reduction in exports of Su30 ..... you need to itch faster with the modernization.

[rocket757]

And again, a lot of things are needed, incl. to make products of high quality, in all respects, plus a clear maintenance system after the sale of complex equipment.

[carstorm 11]

And few people are trying to read the entire text and understand here?) I hint - they not only counted exports)

grew due to the decline in exports of Su30.

How does your thought fit into this?

The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) showed 16 percent growth.

[Zaurbek]

In production, export? in what? The production of Sushki remains, there is a minor export to Belarus. The production of new IL76 has begun .... somewhere here this growth is

[knn54]

In third place is India ???. Outstripped France too?
What kind of "analysts" are sitting there.

[donavi49]

India has long been ahead of France, which is only cutting budgets.

It’s not about exports, but about budgets — the United States — China — India — Russia, the Saudis are now in 6th place.

[carstorm 11]

Who understand the difference between export and sales) And then somehow the mentioned SDO for 10 years does not fit well into the text)))

[knn54]

Indeed, the second time I got it.
The article (including the title) adjusts to one thing and it is difficult to enter the last two paragraphs (I think not only for me).
As for military budgets, this is a secret of secrets.
There are direct and indirect costs.
For example, the USSR Ministry of General Engineering was engaged in both space and military missiles.
Although the money went like "space".
I think that today there are many such examples.

[Pavel episkop]

The decrease in in due to the increase in quality and reliability should have been more precisely indicated! They attributed an increase to themselves (due to f35 and so on ..), but forgot to indicate flaws, failures and refusals .. So-so analysts!

[donavi49]

here you go in just one week of December "western world" interrupted the annual sales of ROE:
United Arab Emirates signed a contract for the purchase of 80 Rafale fighters
On December 3, 2021, the French company Dassault Aviation, United Arab Emirates signed a "historic" contract for the purchase of 80 French Dassault Rafale multi-role fighters in the F4 modification. The contract was signed during a visit to the UAE by French President Emmanuel Macron, in the presence of Macron himself and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Commander of the UAE Armed Forces Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The signed package of contracts also includes the purchase of 12 Airbus Helicopters H225M Caracal multipurpose helicopters by the UAE. The total value of the package contract for Rafale planes and helicopters is reported to be around 17 billion euros.

Austria signs a contract for the purchase of 18 Italian AW169 helicopters
On December 2, 2021, in Rome, Austrian Defense Ministers Claudia Tanner and Italian Defense Ministers Lorenzo Guerini signed an intergovernmental agreement on the acquisition of 18 new AW169 multipurpose helicopters manufactured by Leonardo Helicopters (a division of the Italian company Leonardo) for the Austrian armed forces. The purchase will be carried out as part of a joint procedure for the acquisition of helicopters of this type with the Italian Ministry of Defense through the Aircraft and Arms Purchase Directorate, which is part of the latter.

Its cost has not yet been reported, but will be from 300 to 400 million euros, together with technical support and personnel training. Of the 18 helicopters, six will be made in the training (actually standard commercial) version of the AW169B, and the remaining 12 - in the special military version AW169MA with the ability to carry weapons.

Switzerland signed an agreement on the acquisition of American F-35A fighters and Patriot air defense systems

According to Armasuisse, the final agreed contract the purchase price was 6,035 billion Swiss francs for the F-35A aircraft and 1,987 billion Swiss francs for the Patriot systems, the exchange rate was adopted at 0,95 Swiss francs per US dollar.
According to the value of the agreement for the purchase of F-35A aircraft, the following breakdown is given:
• 3,828 billion Swiss francs for 36 F-35A;
• 1,927 billion Swiss francs for a logistics package including ground equipment, spare parts, documentation, training and technical support from the manufacturer;
• 107 million Swiss francs for ammunition;
• 86 million Swiss francs for training, mission planning and evaluation systems;
• CHF 82 million to cover potential technical risks: F-35As are being procured in the same configuration as other countries and the manufacturer will manufacture the aircraft using the same standards and procedures used for ghjbpdjlcndf over 3000 aircraft. This means that the risk premium is expected to be low compared to other procurement projects;
• CHF 5 million to account for the expected inflation rate. Inflation only affects the direct subcontracting part of the transaction in Switzerland, that is, RUAG.

Plus a mega-contract with the finals in progress:
The Finnish Defense Forces selected the fifth-generation American Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter in the HX tender for a promising fighter to replace the Boeing F / A-18C / D Hornet fighters in the Finnish Air Force. The Finnish Defense Ministry supports the choice of the F-35A.

As part of the tender for the NH program, it is planned to purchase for Finnish Air Force 64 new fighters to replace the 62 currently in service with the F / A-18C / D Hornet. The delivery of new fighters is planned for 2025-2030. Requirements for the HX program include a total procurement budget of no more than € 10 billion.

[Thrifty]

Yeah, we, or rather the Kremlin, amazed technologies and weapons, in particular, selling them for palm oil, or at a price close to the cost price. Also, the old microelector base is playing against us, the possibility of creating only cute games that fully meet all modern standards and customer requirements ...

What is this nonsense? Close to the cost price they sold what ??? We are being squeezed out of the markets by means of sanctions. Plus, read what is at stake and what they think there. The phrase It is assumed that among the main reasons for this was the completion of the ten-year state armaments program in 2020, as well as the surge in the incidence of COVID-19, which slowed down the supply in no way bothers?)

What is the connection between our internal program and sales abroad?

[carstorm 11]

Well, apparently in the fact that last year, Russian manufacturers of weapons and military equipment sold their products for 26,4 billion USD. This is 6,5% less than a year earlier, when arms were sold for 28,2 billion, as the word is not export. I didn't write this text, but if you read it in its entirety, it turns out that it was just sales. Our army is also a buyer, as it were) One of the.

[SKVichyakow]

And what is critical here? Or are we doing everything right, and it bothers you?

[Thrifty]

Vichiakow-What are you "doing right?" "please list !!

[SKVichyakow]

So why the fuck is always overjoyed over trifles when things are so bad with us?

[GoraN]

Soon, the United States will arrange a new conflict and sales will grow again.

[askort154]

The decline can be explained by the fact that Russia has loaded the military-industrial complex with modern types of weapons, which are still too early to be sold abroad. Type S-500, hypersonic weapons, etc., which others do not yet have. And the amount of "obsolete" that can be sold is decreasing.

[Thrifty]

Ascourt, the problem is in outdated equipment, a lack of personnel, underfunding of R&D, the leakage of specialists, the unwillingness of the authorities to really deal with the problems of the Russian economy ... first of all, a technological lag from the West for decades ...

[donavi49]

The main problem is the exhaustion of countries for a wide range of supplies. That is, the level of Algeria, Iraq, Egypt, India, China, etc.

That is, if earlier it was possible to enter with something, gain a foothold in the appendage to the conventional Su-30, sell S-300, 636 boats, T-90, Msta, Pantsiri, etc. But now basically we have to interrupt single contracts. Well, Western partners are also awake - Kuwait signed the T-90M, the Americans colorfully painted how Kuwait would be an outcast country, and the money of local sheikhs would leave them, so Kuwait instantly changed his mind. Also Indonesia - they signed the Su-35, the Americans recalled that they would hit with sanctions so that palm oil would have to be drained into the ocean, but at the moment they changed their minds, they already signed a contract with Italy for democratic Eurofighters.

Then it makes no sense to criticize the practice of "donating" weapons - it is enough to deliver a small "trial batch" to opponents, and now the choice for the next aviation buyers will be much more painful and difficult: which is better - sanctions or anti-aircraft complexes from the enemy? .. I mean a gift in the form of anti-aircraft weapons as a counterweight to foreign fighters; anti-ship missiles - to foreign ships. If you can't sell, then be generous and give it to those who will undoubtedly benefit from this gift. The main mistake in such a business is that they give to potential buyers and give them to their insolvent but passionate opponents.

[askort154]

Thrifty.. first of all, technological lag from the West for decades ...

Oh well ! And therefore, they cannot catch up with "technically backward Russia" in: hypersound, air defense, icebreaking, nuclear engineering, etc.

[Thrifty]

Ascourt, make sure they catch up quickly. Their dollar is everything! They will outbid our specialists, our developments, they will invest in what they are lagging behind, and get results. Many problems are violet to them, they dominate on the continent, here you can give slack, for the time being. And what can we oppose in their strengths? Our oceanic fleet, our small submarines built on the Soviet reserve, the absence of naval aviation, armed bases along the perimeter of the country ... missile attacks ... and what next?

[askort154]

Thrifty ...The Yankees screwed us up, we can fight off a couple of theirs massive missile attacks ... and then what? They are in Eurvia and will crush the hands of NATO Euroholdings, and the Chinese will not hesitate to snatch our lands for themselves

That is, go Russia and give up, like in the 90s.
Don't worry, sleep well. They know the capabilities of Russia better than we do. Therefore, they do not attack,
but only bark. And the more Russia gets stronger, the louder the barking, turning into a screech, organized by them by a pack of mosecs. Even their sanctions do not help. All this is done from impotence.

[Sands Careers General]

It seems that they are not Odessa Jews, but they are counting other people's money.

[Thrifty]

General of the Sand Quarries - money loves the account, even if it is in someone else's pocket

[Fisherman]

Ours began to sell weapons secretly, without publishing the buyer, purchased weapons and volumes. So, most likely, these 6-10% went to new customers without noise and crackling.

Do they consider in general all production and supplies to their army and export sales?

[Prisoner]

Itself became necessary. And then we arm all strangers and strangers, and the bastard made his way to the very side.

[Kesha1980]

The main problem is the non-competitive struggle of the United States. The ban on the acquisition grew. weapons.
In second place is the obvious subsidence of military aviation exports.
Problems with microelectronics. (because there is almost no domestic version of it).
Well, let's not forget that Russian companies are implementing a state program to increase the share of civilian products in the revenue structure to 30% of total sales by 2025 and up to 50% by 2030. Probably they will successfully implement it)
