Two things:
1. They are using their own supply, and don’t have enough left to sell.
2. Some, maybe a lot, of the sales are off the books.
Another example of hopium abuse. Why would Russia be exporting arms if it was actively using them in its own war?
Meanwhile, our weapon stocks are depleted and at dangerously low levels and, unlike Russia, we lack the manufacturing capacity to produce what we need to fight a real war to protect our sovereignty.
The Russians were selling what often was proven in Ukraine to be ‘garbage’.
The Russians know they have to improve quality and they are probably doing so at a rapid pace.
They will eventually reenter the arms export business with improved product lines.
How ridiculous! Yes, the Russians have been and continue to stockpile MASSIVE amounts of weapons and ammunition. Do you really think they are so stupid as to end up in the laughable, to the Russians and Chicoms, NATO position of being out of ammo in the middle of the largest war since 1945? No, the Russians are far from being that foolish. If you haven’t noticed, India, Africa, the Arabs and Global South are all now falling squarely into the Russian sphere. Ever hear of BRICS+? The rest of the world is watching outrageously overpriced and over maintenanced Western MIC weapons being test driven in Ukraine. Tens of billions of Western naval assets have proven worthless against the third worlder Houthis. You can buy a $100,000 artillery shell from the west or 30 precision guided 1000kg glide bombs from the Russians.
This article is MIC generated bunk.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out Vlad has increased his massive manufacturing base for use against the collective West and NATO should they make a huge mistake.
Make no mistake, Vlad is fully prepared to strike Nato should they be foolish enough to attack Russia. Last year Vlad announced he had enough arms, ammo, manpower to last a full blown three year war…. As we are witnessing.
The collective West is woefully unprepared.
