Russia was able to increase its share in the arms market until 2016. Since then, its exports to all recipient countries, except for India and China, have clearly decreased, according to the portal, citing publicly available data on the sale of Russian arms.
In 2014, Russia invaded the Ukrainian Donbas, and in 2022, a full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. Russia is losing a lot of equipment there, and this has led some Russian customers to look for other suppliers. China, as an exporter, is in a very favorable position.

Huge production capacity
Six of the world’s 15 largest arms companies are Chinese state-owned enterprises. China has such large production capacity that it can produce weapons both for its own needs and for export. They are also able to offer foreign customers more and more sophisticated armaments.
As Defense News explains, many of the very technologically advanced types of Chinese weapons have been manufactured in imitation of Russian equipment. Beijing can offer air defense systems that have a very large audience, such as the HQ-9 and HQ-17 surface-to-air missiles modeled on the Russian S-300 system and improved. They even turn out to be better than the original. In addition, China is a flexible supplier and its weapons go to countries where the West does not want to export them, such as Serbia.
“Nothing stands in the way”
The war with Ukraine greatly limits Russia’s ability to export arms, and China has the potential and willingness to take advantage of Moscow’s losses. As Russia loses its market share, there is nothing stopping China from being more successful – concludes Defense News.
