Герань зацветёт на Кубе?
Ещё немного изюма наковырял из Kiel Report. Теперь про экспортные поставки - российская промышленность не только уверенно компенсирует потери техники на поле боя и обеспечивает вооружение заявленных Путиным 3-х новых армий в полном объёме, но и исполняет экспортные контракты:
Exports Russia remains a major arms exporter, war notwithstanding, especially to the lower-cost arms market (Bergmann et al., 2023). The fulfilment of existing contracts and the pace and composition of new contracts are relevant benchmarks for Russian defence production, considering we assess exports as the least priority in the allocation of production. Moscow would only export systems if they were not necessary for domestic force generation and sustainment, including a potential direct confrontation with NATO. The state of several high-profile orders offers a further glimpse into production. After delays in 2022, Russia resumed deliveries of the S-400 to India, despite several probable losses to Storm Shadow and ATACMS missile attacks. Deliveries were also initiated to Iran in 2024, coupled with high-end EW systems. Algeria is Moscow’s most reliable client in Africa, and deliveries of a variety of armoured vehicles on the T-72 tank chassis continue. After a lengthy selection process, Kazakhstan opted for Sukhoi for modernizing its multirole aircraft fleet, preferring the Russian offer to the French on lead time and cost grounds. Cuba reportedly ordered Geran drones. Finally, sparse reports indicate that in summer 2024, Malian and Nigerien forces began using Russian glide bombs. In general, Russia remains a major presence in non-Western defence expos, such as IDEX 2023. These data points indicate that for a variety of systems, Russian production is stable enough to provide sustainment for the war in Ukraine.
Куба, оказывается, Гераньки заказала, а Мали и Нигерия начали использовать планирующие бомбы. Так что у России не только границы нигде не заканчиваются, но и танки с ракетами. И тут тарасики приуныли...
