Putin vows to expand arms trade with Russia’s allies​


Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday vowed to expand military cooperation with the country’s allies, noting that Moscow is ready to offer them its most advanced weapons.

Speaking at the opening of an annual arms show outside Moscow that caters to foreign customers, Putin said that Russia’s arms exports play an important role in the development of a “multipolar word,” the term used by the Kremlin to describe its efforts to offset what it perceives as U.S. global domination.

Putin hailed the Russian military’s action in Ukraine, which has triggered massive Western sanctions, and thanked Moscow’s allies for their support.

“We highly appreciate that we have many allies, partners and people who share our thinking on various continents,” he said.

Putin, whose invasion of Ukraine has been widely condemned as a breach of international law, said leaders of Moscow’s allies “choose a sovereign, independent course of development and want to collectively solve the issues of global and regional security on the basis of international law, shared responsibility and mutual interests, thus contributing to upholding multipolar world.”

Putin didn’t name any country in particular, but noted that “Russia sincerely values its historically strong, friendly and trusting relations with countries of Latin America, Asia and Africa.”

“We are ready to offer our allies and partners the most advanced types of weapons: from firearms, armor and artillery to warplanes and drones.” the Russian leader said.

The US should see this as a perfect opportunity to 'liberate' some weapon stores off the high seas and then redirect them for Ukraine
That would be more harmful to Ukraine than Russia. Trying to offload fourth rate mothballed 1960s and 70s Soviet surplus weapons on Africa and South America in a desperate bid to get some money is very impressive, President Putin
 
Russia can't even afford to arm itself, apparently. So good luck with that. FWIW, some of Russia's tech is impressive but its only for a few items (SAMs, etc) and production seems to be slow.
 
Alright guys the AK-12 was a huge failure let’s dump them across the rest of the world. We’ll just contract Zenitco for their furniture to modernize the AK-74 and all new arms procurements to be the earlier design AK-12’s we currently make for India.
 
Russia is having problems arming their own front so this seems like the characteristically russian bravado.
Probably also caused by a lot of people getting unwilling to buy russian arms after a disastrous campaign against the second poorest nation in Europe.
 
So fucking what?

It isn't like Russia HASN'T armed whatever random faggot yelled "DEATH TO AMERICA!" for the last 70 years.

They're going to offer rusting junk and shit held together with baling wire, lies, and chewing gum?

Sorry, Putin, nobody fucking cares.

Oh, and your military equipment is fucking trash.
 
Want to buy our tanks that explode easily, our trucks that cant handle mud, our inaccurate artillery, our shit weapons, the "modern helicopter" that gets shot down by weapons invented in the '70s, or maybe you want to splurge on a flagship that only blows op if it blows a lot and did totally not get sunk by a soviet missile system from like the '50s.
 
It isn't like Russia HASN'T armed whatever random faggot yelled "DEATH TO AMERICA!" for the last 70 years.
Like that Bin Laden guy? Oh wait, that was America, and it turned out he was quite "Death to America". At this point no one in the co-opted West has any sort of "moral high ground" to talk about anyone else.
