Shoiga stated that after the end of the war on Russian weapons, "Large queue" lined up

To spread: the Russian Federation hopes to reach the leading positions in the arms market in the field of air defense systems, especially at the expense of the C-500 systems. However, the issue of production volumes and potential buyers remains open. The Secretary of the Security Council Sergey Shoiga stated that the Kremlin is counting on high demand for Russian weapons after the completion of a full -scale war.

Among the potential export systems, it identified anti-aircraft complexes C-400 and C-500, percussion drones and upgraded armored vehicles. This was reported on March 20 by TASS. "After completing a special military operation, believe me, a big queue is lined up for our weapons," Shogu said.

Commenting on the words of the ex-Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Defense Express observers noted that although Shoiga's statement looks paradoxically, she indicates that the Kremlin is trying to restore positions in the world weapons market. However, the issue of production volumes and potential buyers remains open.

"Here, first of all, the question of what volumes they will be able to produce" analogues "for exports, and which countries in which regions will be interested in such systems, and most importantly, how the Russians will position these systems will position," analysts write. For example, the S-500 "Prometheus" in open sources is mentioned in the context of placement in Crimea to counteract ATACMS. This was due to the inability of the C-300 and C-400 to cope with the tasks of the missile defense.

In addition, in February 2024, the Russian Federation declared the C-500 test with the possibility of intercepting hypersonic missiles, although the supply to the troops was declared in 2022. In the field of armored vehicles, experts continued, Russia tried to sell BMP-3 Vietnam at the end of 2024, but the agreement did not take place.
