Russia in the system of world arms exports

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in a meeting of the commission on military-technical cooperation between Russia and foreign countries. One of the topics discussed during the meeting concerned the export of Russian arms and the volume of orders from foreign countries.

Russia in the system of world arms exports


According to the data presented, it can be said that the Russian defense industry in terms of exports continues to beat its own records. According to Vladimir Putin, in the first five months of 2016 alone, the volume of deliveries of military equipment and armaments for export in monetary terms amounted to 4,6 billion dollars (more than 320 billion rubles). At the same time, the total portfolio of orders for military equipment and weapons from Russia exceeded the value of 50 billion dollars (about 3,6 trillion rubles).

Kremlin press service quotes a statement by the country's president regarding the main operators of Russian weapons and the expansion of sales markets:
It is important that the geography of supplies is consistently expanding, new intergovernmental agreements are being signed, and bilateral working groups are being created. At the same time, it is necessary to further improve the effectiveness of military-technical cooperation, to act in this area more clearly and more coordinatedly. At the same time, it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that the intensification of our efforts will certainly exacerbate competition. (...) Patriotic weapon and military equipment prove their effectiveness and reliability in a variety of conditions. They are in service in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. In this regard, I would like to thank the Russian arms exporters, who, under the conditions of tough competition, are successfully working in the new realities, adequately respond to the sometimes unfair actions of our opponents.


Under the unscrupulous actions of opponents (note that the Russian president called opponents just opponents, not “partners”), Vladimir Putin understands, of course, those restrictive anti-Russian measures of an economic nature that rival countries are also trying to narrow down the market for Russian sales . In particular, one of such measures led to the fact that even small arms from the Russian Federation, not to mention large military equipment, were not allowed to the exhibition in Paris.

Among the traditional buyers of substantial shipments of Russian weapons are India and China. At the same time, against the background of the growth of the Indian share of Russian arms exports (5,5 billion dollars in 2015), the Chinese share is declining (2,6 billion dollars). And if a few years ago, the PRC occupied a leading position in terms of the volumes of military-technical cooperation with Russia, now the situation has changed. There are several reasons for this.

First, the technological resource of China has significantly increased along with a significant increase in Chinese GDP (over the past few years, the average bar of Chinese economic growth was at 7-9% per year); secondly, the Chinese negotiators with all confidence can be called too stubborn. Virtually any contract for the supply of Russian weapons Chinese opponents (or "partners) tried (try) to link either with the simultaneous transfer of technology, or even with the licensing of Chinese production of certain Russian technology. If the arms seller does not go to such a deal, then China reserves the right to “save and paste” - that is, technological copying with renaming and issuing Chinese military-technical production as a product.

However, this does not mean at all that contracts for the supply of arms from Russia with other partners are, as they say, one or two times. No less complicated negotiations are being conducted with India, rather than with China, and often a contract is concluded only on the basis of New Delhi’s participation in cooperation with Moscow.



11 July in Yekaterinburg opens the exhibition Innoprom-2016, whose partner country this time is India. The organizers of the exhibition are planning to conclude a whole list of contracts with their Indian colleagues, and these contracts are planned to be concluded not only in the sphere of direct military-technical cooperation. The issues of concluding agreements in the field of energy, space exploration, transport, engineering, urban projects are being worked out.

Press office Innoprom-2016:
The business program of INNOPROM will begin on July 11 from the Russian-Indian business forum, in which the heads of government and major business of both countries will take part. A number of bilateral events are planned in the INNOPROM program on topics such as engineering, pharmaceutical industry, mining, IT in industry, in addition, Indian experts will take part in the overall business program of the exhibition.


One of the main mysteries of the Russian export military-technical market is interaction with Saudi Arabia. In November 2015, the media announced the largest contract for the supply of Russian weapons to the Saudis between Moscow and Riyadh. Newspaper "Vedomosti", then referring to the sources in "Rostec" and "Rosoboronexport", reported on the estimated amount of the contract - 10 billion dollars. At the same time, information about the interest of Saudi Arabia in acquiring the C-400 “Trumph” anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia was announced for the first time.

The information that Russia could put the C-400 air defense system against Riyadh caused a great stir. The reason for the hype is connected with far from the benevolent relations in the Middle East - for example, between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Moreover, Russia has just started to deliver C-300, which should have been delivered several years ago, to a more loyally-minded Iran.

There is still no official confirmation that Saudi Arabia is ready to purchase weapons from the Russian Federation immediately for $ 10 billion. Frankly, this is not the first time that the Saudis have made promises to “buy” weapons from Russia for an impressive amount. So, in 2009, the Russian media, citing certain sources in Riyadh, also published material that Saudi Arabia was going to buy a large batch from Russia (more than 150 units) tanks T-90S and about 250 BMP-3. As a result, after long discussions on this topic, it turned out that the Saudis were not going to buy Russian armored vehicles in such quantities. The main argument for the T-90S tanks is the need for the installation of air conditioners (in hot desert climates). While discussing the topic of installing air conditioners, information came that the Saudis signed a contract with France for the supply of Leclerc tanks. A number of Western sources then came out with materials telling that Riyadh refused to purchase weapons from Russia for the reason that Russia did not refuse to support Iran’s nuclear program.

Now Iran has no nuclear program (even the EU and the US partially removed sanctions from Tehran), and therefore, with what Riyadh is trying to link its 10-billion-dollar promises, one can only guess. With Moscow’s refusal to support Bashar Assad? .. If we consider that there is no official confirmation of the signing of the contract, then it is quite possible, especially given the fact that signing the contract for the Saudis is a serious political step, which the United States is watching and simply so obviously they will not allow it to be done, having lost part of the traditional market for themselves ...

Against this background, Russia continues to increase its presence in its traditional markets: Algeria, Vietnam, Indonesia, Iraq, and Latin American countries. Thus, one of the stages of development of cooperation with Latin American partners are agreements on the placement of capacities for the repair and maintenance of helicopter technology, as well as on the training of flight personnel, who in the "forever preoccupied" West have already dubbed "the creation of Russian military bases."

In terms of total arms exports, Russia consistently ranks second - 24-25% of the world market (after the USA - about 33% of the market), keeping a large lead over the third position. In third place, by the way, is China (according to the estimates of the Stockholm Peace Research Institute). The Chinese share rose almost to 6%, beating the French share on 0,3-0,4%.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the share of European arms manufacturers in the world export system has declined amid the growing share of the US. This is an eloquent confirmation of the fact that the North Atlantic Alliance, with its delusions and phobias, is one of the levers for promoting Washington products of American military-technical companies. And in the face of increasing competition, Russian successes in the field of arms exports cannot but cause respect. As respect in the world market, it also causes Russian weapons themselves, effectively demonstrating their capabilities not only during training events, but also during military operations against international terrorist groups in Syria.

    The production of weapons can serve as one of the locomotives that will pull out our economy, especially since we are able to make weapons from childhood, and moreover, almost everyone. Remember the bows with arrows from the talnik, then set on fire and what else did we shoot)))

      Can not. The military-industrial complex never pulled the economy, but on the contrary, drove it into a hole. An example is the USSR and North Korea. On the other hand, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Taiwan. It is necessary to develop the means of production, Hi Tek. Moreover, today a citizen is more technologically advanced than military products. In the 1990s, there was even such a "joke" in the bourgeois fleet that when all the electronic systems on the ship fail, Sony TV continues to work in spite of this.

The United States sold machines in the USSR during the Great Depression. Krupovsky pre-war machines still operate at ChSZ. And they got out of the depression by purely financial means: devaluing the dollar and pumping the American economy with the same dollar, increasing government spending and domestic consumption. And only as a result of increased government spending was the purchase of weapons. The same situation is with Germany. And the second time it was not pulled out by the military-industrial complex, but by the same American dollar. Marshall Plan.

            So what is characteristic in the USA is everything is very interconnected. A powerful military-industrial complex is one of the levers to make the whole world recognize the dollar as the world’s payment currency, and the dollar, in turn, allows you to maintain the military-industrial complex and a huge army. For some reason, our gallant liberals are very fond of forgetting about this and many people who love to ride on our ears and hang pasta on them.

            I agree with the Professor 99%. And for both of his comments I put him +.
            The military-industrial complex did not pull either the United States or Germany - I can bring a bunch of documents. In Russia, everything else that could work after the 90s was the military-industrial complex (and the patient was more likely dead than alive), civil production was completely destroyed, and the production of means of production is still not in Russia.

              Almost 60% of civilian production came from the military-industrial complex of different countries, the same computer was originally military, the same optical cable was originally from the military, and almost 60% of the production was made in one way or another, or discoveries (research) were made using the military-industrial complex, and then it grew into a civilian industry. 40% of technical solutions in the USA, born in the defense industry complex, found wide civilian (commercial) application.
              The military-industrial complex is the engine of progress, the focus of high technologies, the locomotive of the economy’s exit from the crisis. Unfortunately, his role in this regard is greatly underestimated. The military-industrial complex is like a start from the conclusion of the economic crisis, and of course, at the same time, other industries need to be developed with this, no one can argue with this, but to begin the development of the economy, the military-industrial complex is really an engine, no one says what kind of the account of the military-industrial complex must live in the whole country, everyone is talking about the start, the beginning of development, do not confuse the concept.

                  And you yourself can’t turn your head on, anyway, with the help of the military, a lot of inventions and studies were made, then in turn it was applied to the civilian industry. Even the Internet appeared thanks to the military:
                  In 1957, after the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite by the Soviet Union, the US Department of Defense decided that in case of war the United States needed a reliable information transfer system. The United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has proposed developing a computer network for this, as the Internet came about.

                  Talking about the military-industrial complex as a locomotive:
                  The military-industrial complex of the USSR at the end of 1970 felt great, because the war in Afghanistan required more and more weapons, more and more perfect (Mi-24, D-30, etc.), it would seem that the locomotive of the economy is loaded, but what happened next? By 1986, the USSR was forced to pull from the economy, according to various estimates, from 4 to 5,5 billion dollars a year for "Afghan". At the same time, the real locomotive of the economy of the USSR (as well as today's Russia), the oil and gas industry was then crucified by the United States (Saudi Arabia). Saudi Arabia, under graceful pressure from the United States, brought down oil prices almost 3 times (1985) (today - a similar topic), as a result of this - the USSR lost several billion dollars in revenue in the global arms market: Iran, Iraq and Libya, which sharply reduced their export oil revenues, and could not pay for the import of Soviet weapons. And more about oil ... - The United States, starting in the fall of 1984, carried out a 25% devaluation of the dollar during the year. Oil traded in dollars. But the USSR bought equipment and materials in Europe for national currencies, which, accordingly, went up in price .. I can go on for a long time, what the US was still pressing at that moment, but this is not about that ... MIC did not go then (as indeed now) locomotive - it was a consequence of the economic development of the country ...

Yes, no one! Show the wonders of entrepreneurship in the "black" - you can not pay taxes, and you are rich and "respected"! And for example in Spain, even the royal passion was tried for tax evasion, Montserrat Caballe and she went to court ... What about us? Vasiliev? laughing That's how we live. In our country, the tax system itself encourages the concealment of income - i.e. payments to various budgets of our state. At the same time, we are eager to receive a decent old-age pension.

              Only a complete ignoramus (not about you) can decide that tens of millions of Kalashnikovs manufactured at the warehouse helped the economy. Let this money go for infrastructure development, science, medicine or consumer goods and the economy will trample up.

Does alcohol disinfect and when taken orally in certain doses relieve tension or is it poison, which leads to personality degradation? Alcohol is alcohol.

        I decided to support you in writing:

        the time when the military-industrial complex was the basis of economics may have been, but gone. Today, for example, only VW produces and sells more product than all the German military-industrial complex. in terms of technology development (the old defense industry chip), the civilian sector has run so far forward that the defense industry is not visible in the rear mirror. The amount of investment in scientific research at Siemens seems to be greater than the military budget of many countries. The military-industrial complex barely manages to adopt a small part of what is invented in the civilian world.

        But, professor, on this site I’m afraid that we don’t shine - a convinced communist / VPKist is like a TV: speaks - but does not listen. otherwise it would be arguable.

              - So what? In Russia, there has long been a technology for producing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, but Russia, and the whole world, does not go into serial production. Why? Because to organize mass demand, you need to immediately organize mass production at low prices, for which you still need to convey to the mass consumer that a new product has appeared. Polyethylene companies do not want to risk so much, therefore UHMWPE is so spanked to order in laboratory conditions, they did it for Plushenko when he was in support of some blue singer (who won Eurovision from Russia, Plushenko's wife works as a producer for this singer), skated on skates on a piece of this plastic (UHMWPE is this unique material, ultra-strong, with a low coefficient of friction, lubrication is not needed for UHMWPE parts) ... So, only when the military industrialists, when developing the Armata, came to the conclusion that they were somewhere in Armata This particular UHMWPE is needed, they came and ordered such a batch of manufacturers that the manufacturers are building (Astrakhan polyethylene, if I'm not mistaken) capacities for large-scale production of this material. And there the civilian consumer will get a taste and start purchasing UHMWPE. But the civilian consumer is larger than the military one and brings more profit, only few people can afford to enter the market, for example, the Astrakhan people definitely did not take risks and did the right thing until a guaranteed customer appeared. In this respect, those who argue that the military-industrial complex does not raise the economy are right, but only partially. The military-industrial complex is precisely the driver of the economy, the catalyst and accelerator of both scientific and technological progress itself, and the introduction of inventions into a series, and not its "elevator". The booster of the economy is a mass consumer after all.

                    I repeat - the argument about the military-industrial complex is like the argument about alcohol, is alcohol a poison or a medicine? Dose dependent. In the case of the military-industrial complex, everything is exactly the same.
                    Professor, accusing tank building of unprofitability, you take into account only direct gains and losses. And indirect? Any new developments in tank building can not affect the tractor industry? The development of Almaty has already helped Astrakhan polyethylene finally begin to prepare for serial production of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, it turned out immediately for civilian consumers, although later the profit from the civilian consumer will be incomparably greater. Well, the economy is stupid. And most importantly - the engineering and technical corps, which is nurtured for tank building and in the tank building enterprise itself - is the golden fund of the nation, whatever one may say. And it costs a lot of money.
                    I agree that the millions of Kalashnikovs lying in the warehouse and now demanding funds for their disposal is an unprofitable and unpleasant thing. But in Russia, the revival of civil aircraft construction was started by the military-industrial complex, namely, Sukhoi and Irkut, not Tupolev, not Ilyushin, which lie on their side, namely the military-industrial complex, which afloat and decided to diversify a little. How successful is another conversation, in this case the fact itself is important. And the fact is that it is the enterprises of the military-industrial complex that are reviving the civil aircraft industry. It is the Tula and Izhevsk people, in addition to military small arms, who also export huge amounts of hunting, security and sporting weapons. This is not oil, but a product of fairly high technologies. In Russian conditions, the military-industrial complex is really a driver and catalyst of the economy, the main thing is that you cannot get an overdose of the military-industrial complex. Everything is poison and everything is medicine, it depends only on the dose.

              usually you started your post with the address "Dear". Don't break with this tradition.
              The alternative start "Sheer nonsense" is not an equal substitute.

              and if in the case - without demagogy - name at least a few innovations of the military-industrial complex over the past 20 years that would not have cheaper and more massive analogues on the citizen and would be invented by the military-industrial complex in particular?

                Let me give you one simple example ...
                Take a simple cartridge 7,62. And we will analyze what is needed in order to make it.
                The cartridge is metal, so ore is needed (I will not say anything about the search for deposits). Excavators, sappers, crane operators, etc. are needed to develop the ore mine. And of course, the military does it all. wassat
                Further ... the production of the metal itself and the blanks for cartridges ... metal foundries, this, of course, the military also produces. laughing
                Further ... the production of gunpowder. Is such a component as nitrate used only in gunpowder? But the same saltpeter must be produced, packaged, transported, etc. ... and of course the military are also engaged in this, and civil enterprises have nothing to do with it.
                Further, for all this to work and be done, we need machines, assemblies, and of course people. Apparently also military.
                At the same time, with all this breakthrough of the people it is necessary to feed something.
                Hence the conclusion, according to your logic, that the military-industrial complex is unprofitable, since it works only in minus. fellow

                That’s the point, if it weren’t for the military, there wouldn’t be commercial satellites and there wouldn’t be carriers delivering these satellites, and it’s just because of the military-industrial complex that the economy can be boosted, you just have to do this when you come up with developments, conduct research, you need everything it should be translated and applied into the civilian sphere, but I need to repeat once again to deal with it in a paid one, and if the state does not take advantage of it, this is another conversation

                    - In short, I’ll explain why there is no way without the military ... There came an innovation that theoretically will benefit humanity, but the product is new, no one can guarantee 100% success. It is because of these risks that civilian business women will not be in a hurry to introduce this innovation. Military approach differently. They see that emerging innovation can improve some kind of weapon. The military do not care about commercial success or failure, they do not care how much it will cost, they see that this innovation can improve their weapons, and to get it, they are willing to pay as much as necessary. In short, the military has a task, and they carry it out. The result is improved weapons, serial production of the innovation appears, which already greatly facilitates the promotion of the described innovation. That is why the military-industrial complex is needed, but not in too large doses. For military needs - no more than 2% of the country's GDP.

When installing sensors on cars and agricultural vehicles, fuel and lubricant savings per year ranged from 30 to 40%. With a fleet of equipment of about 3 units, fuel and lubricants are purchased per year in the amount of about 500 million rubles. Here is the real economic effect of the defense industry initiative.

                  1. Satellite navigation would be without the military.
                  2. Your receivers are civilian since the military does not meet the requirements, nor mass-size, but for energy consumption.

                      Following my logic, the creation of a fighter does not advance the economy, but only slows it down. This is not Jumbo or Dreamliner. Creating a tank slows down the economy even more. Well, what technology developed when creating the T-90 made a breakthrough in civilian life? The same story with drones. Further more.

        The recession in the USSR had both objective and subjective reasons. Several of them: 1. It was unnecessary to get involved in an arms race, not in the development of the military-industrial complex, not in development, namely in the arms race. How much equipment is now on conservation is dead weight?
        2. Help "brotherly countries and peoples". How many tens or even hundreds of billions of tallers have been spent?

          Large spending on the military-industrial complex is a consequence of the Cold War unleashed by the West against the USSR, the protection of the Soviet people from the West's “democratic bombing”.
          Helping "friendly regimes" is geopolitics, spheres of interest.
          Those Soviet "freeloaders" are nonsense in comparison with the maintenance of the peoples in the former republics of the USSR, the enemies of the communists who seized the USSR.

It makes no sense to compare with the storage volumes with the USA - I explained the reason above, they can afford such expenses, we cannot. They dictate the rules in this world. For "fraternal assistance" - here one said Geopolitics. So, Geopolitics cannot be empty, it must be filled with economic content, otherwise - the example of the Union is fresh, and how many "fraternal countries" later spat in the back. And "freeloaders" - now I will not find numbers, but the level of gasification of households in Russia was lower in the Baltics and Ukraine, in the Baltics they spent so much money to modernize production, look at the life of Moldova, Georgia, etc., when Russia only said - Nothing personal, business only. And I think this is correct. We need to help those who, with their blood, have proved their communion with us - South Ossetia, southeastern Ukraine, and for the rest I follow my own course.

    At the same time, we must not forget that time has changed. And if we used to supply weapons to the third world countries that we had, and we were the "main", now sometimes it becomes customer... He needs not what we sometimes give him, but what he needs. The same example with tanks for the SA is very indicative. If this contract was starting to move from the "let's discuss" stage to the "let's see" stage, then it was hard to guess that air conditioning would be required in a desert climate?
    The second disadvantage of our sales system was, and still is, the sale of "export" samples, which in terms of their performance characteristics are lower than those that we have. And it turns out that we sell weapons with deliberately cut characteristics compared to what we showed the "buyer" characteristics. And our competitors sell the same things that they have in service. I am not saying that we need to violate the agreements that we signed (control of missile technologies), but nevertheless, we also need to think about this.

    It has been in conflict with Armenia since the time of the USSR. And do not forget about the even more southern neighbor - Iran. With whom we now seem to be on friendly terms. But this country with its ambitions, with its desire to dominate the region, and until recently, our relations were far from friendly. And Azerbaijan could be that buffer between Russia and Iran
    And it seems to me that in vain that they did not sign. All the same, the same export option (under the agreement on MCT) would go there. And they, the Arabs, have a well-developed sense of "monkeyism" on the one hand (as it is, the neighbor has, but I do not), it would still be necessary to maintain a sense of "balance" in the region. On the other hand, they would become, in one part or another, "attached" to us. So you always have to look at what this will give in the long run. Allies come and go, but buyers stay ...

In the 1990s, there was even such a "joke" in the bourgeois fleet that when all the electronic systems on the ship fail, Sony TV continues to work in spite of this.

    Why is this categorical? Never say never. Do not duplicate common cliches. I won’t say anything about the DPRK, but the USSR was not driven into the pit at all by the military-industrial complex. In addition, the USSR did not so much sell its weapons as it donated. If today you can make good money on weapons, thanks to the global instability created by our friends, then it's time to take advantage. I think that to whom to whom, but you understand this.

      The USSR was driven into the pit by the enemies of the Communists, Socialism, the Soviet people who seized power in the USSR in 1985, as they drove into the pits and ALL the republics of the USSR they seized in 1991, turned them into impoverished, backward, dying raw materials appendages and markets, sold out to foreigners.

      The military-industrial complex only helped the Soviet economy pass away.

        As always, you, enemies of the communists, have an inadequately high self-esteem, unfounded, unsubstantiated statements, accusations, a manic passion for criticism, and your cowardly "and we have nothing to do with" everything that you did first with the USSR during the anti-Soviet coup of 1985-1991 , and with the former republics of the USSR and the peoples in them after 1991.

    I will bring to the ongoing dispute figures
    US exports
    Exports $1.62 trillion (2014)(Wiki)

    In 2014, Russia's exports amounted to $ 497,8 billion
    http://www.vlant-consult.ru/information/board/478

    Arms exports for the same year.
    USA
    US military exports in fiscal 2014 reached $ 34,2 billion. This was reported by the press service of the Pentagon’s Military Cooperation Office (DSCA).

    https://lenta.ru/news/2014/10/28/allies/
    Export of Russian military products abroad exceeded $ 2014 billion in 15. According to President Vladimir Putin, the Russian military-industrial complex signed new contracts for $ 14 billion.

    http://www.rbc.ru/economics/27/01/2015/54c7b4c39a7947c8a32b060b
    Total
    U.S. arms exports account for 2.1%
    In the export of Russia, weapons make up 3%
    These are insignificant values ​​in general.

      Here's another thing, now the move is for those who consider arms exports to be the locomotive.

        Why are you all in numbers. GLONASS system. The prototype of the system was created for the Navy of the USSR. Then came the modern version. This is so offhand. The initiators were the military.

          What is the GLONASS system. What do you want to say?
          What has she changed life in Russia? This is the most successful commercial project in Russia, does the Russian budget depend on this? What do you mean by that? And the invention of a paper clip? Not for military purposes, but sold to the whole world in billions. What does GLONAS have to do with the engine of the economy, which side ????

    And what about the statements of the anti-communist professor? Did the military-industrial complex of the Soviet Union strengthen the material situation of the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union? Was the USSR military-industrial complex, often producing a bunch of outdated and unsuccessful equipment, not wasting the country's production resources to the detriment of the economy? Is a portfolio of export orders worth several tens of billions of dollars worth the annual cost of 50 billion?

    Since when did the Bolsheviks become afraid to speak the truth and began to cowardly bury their heads in the sand, ignoring the problems? What, the USSR had no problems? Only the Jews are to blame? Shaw, again?

      You only confirmed my words about you, the enemies of the Communists.
      You are your manic anti-Soviet propaganda from the end of the 80's and are trying to justify your capture of the USSR, and all that you have done with the former republics of the USSR and the peoples in them with your highly paid work and business.
      For more than a quarter of a century, you did not have anything.
      You are so persistently trying to prove that the Communists and their supporters in the USSR were bad, they worked badly and fought, that you understand perfectly well that you have nothing to prove that you are at least somewhat better than them.

    I haven’t done anything to anyone. I then ran under the table on foot. As for anti-Soviet propaganda, it used quite objective errors of the country's leadership in the socio-economic development of the country.

    My sun, breathe deeper! What kind of communist are you if you didn’t even read Lenin and Stalin? If you read, then such nonsense would not be carried. Read, I highly recommend the smartest people who give ideas about what should be the political programs and reports on the results of the country's leadership.

      In general, you have a senseless verbiage with a claim to "cleverness".
      And yes, if the communists and their supporters, who took the country away from the bourgeoisie, immediately took responsibility for the country and the people, then you, the enemies of the communists, always have nothing to do with what you have done with the republics of the USSR and the peoples you have captured in them, but always "with what", to have many times, tens and hundreds of times higher incomes and salaries than you gave the people after 1991.
      And none of you is capable of honestly and objectively, as citizens of your country and people who wish them well, to assess neither the Soviet period, nor the reign of the "Saint" Nicholas II, whom you praise, nor the post-Soviet period, in which all of you "and now are better than in the USSR "because you all HAVE GOT a lot of things, and it is useless to ask you what you have DONE useful for the country, which was taken away from the communists and their supporters.
      You didn’t capture it.

    I agree with the professor in one thing, if you make tanks and put them in a warehouse - this is negative for the economy.

    But if you make them and sell them, you get the same "excavators" in return - this is positive for the economy.

    In fact, of course, everything is much more confusing, since it is interconnected. Without tanks in the warehouse, excavators and so on cannot be protected.
