The department reminds that even before the full -scale invasion of the role of Russia in the international arms market was significantly reduced. To date, as scouts suggest, the Kremlin prefers to use its own troops in Ukraine than to send it for export. Moreover, Russia, because of international sanctions, has not only lost the market, but also faced a serious lack of components, which affects the production of export equipment.
These are armored personnel carriers, combat helicopters and air defense systems. "The ability of Russia to provide support for existing export contracts, such as spare parts and maintenance, will probably be severely violated for at least the next three to five years," British scouts summarized, commenting on the problems of the Russian Federation in the production of weapons and subsequent exports.
It should be noted that at the end of December, the UK military intelligence was commenting on the lack of staff and technologies from the occupiers, which was why Russian troops were forced to move to defense tactics in the captured territories of Ukraine. At the end of January, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported personnel problems in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
