Will China Surpass Russia's Weapons Exports As Sanctions Over Ukraine Cripple Putin's Arms Industry?

Russia’s defence sector is facing severe uncertainty amid the war in Ukraine. China is stepping up its defence export game by making inroads further into Europe. China is using the impact of Ukraine war on Russia’s defence industry to expand its own exports. China has positioned itself as a lower-cost alternative for advanced weapon systems, becoming a competitor to Russian hardware. Will China fill the vacuum created by Russia in the global defence industry?

Some countries are complaining about the Equipment's reliabilty and safety issues...
See Bangladeshi reports

[johnmortin]

Why, after seeing that none of Russia's weapons work, would anyone ever buy one again?

[വൈഷ്ണവ്]

'Made in china ' always lacks the desired quality.

[andrewmorgan]

[royaljaat]

Russia isn't fighting not only Ukraine it is fighting with 30+1 countries

[kellythomas]

YES YES YES
HOORAY 4 CHINA THE GREAT !!!

[nissekarlsson]

The problem for Chinese weapon byers, are that thwir products are often copies of Russianweapons and therefore a great chance they do not work very well.

[Balaji-spain]

If you buy Chinese defence in middle of the war you need service or repair

[keracsvminya]

You cannot claim that Chinese weapons are not combat-ready and at the same time claim that Chinese weapons are underperforming.

[beameup]

It's not the original purchase, it's the support and spare parts that is questionable from China. Unfortunately India is dependent on Russia.

[rodneywatson]

Trouble is, who in the hell would want to buy cheap chinese rubbish anyway. Everything they build is in the rubbish bin in a few weeks so why bother.

[alejandrosotomartin]

Probably yes because under an arms embargo and watching how badly the Russian vehicles have acted many countries won´t like to buy more expensive but not as good weapons as the Chinese.

[poweredbynato]

Great work China....

Somebody has to fill the gap.

Now that Russia turned to a hermit kingdom.... 😅

[keracsvminya]

Russia's largest arms customer is India.
Is India Ready to Buy Chinese Arms?

[johnstonedavis]

Trying to understand why all chinas hardware has english numbers and writing on it

[TrickyNeverLaughs]

As a man from Asia, I admire the bravery and unity of the people in Ukraine because I know how my ancestors suffered for centuries in the hands of foreign invaders. Asia stands with Ukraine.

[USSSfrdm]

China be like. It's a great opportunity beat Russia and get all the cities north of Mongolia.
