US strikes Russian tanks
The export of military-industrial complex products has always brought considerable income to Russia, and has also been an important component of military-political cooperation with other countries. Therefore, the United States, trying to hit the Russian the economy sanctions, they are spearheading the Russian defense industry.
In order to prevent Russia from exporting military machinery and high-tech weapons in Washington go to a variety of tricks. Recently, amendments were proposed to the budget of the US defense department for fiscal year 2019. The Pentagon proposes to ban the sale of weapons, ammunition and technology to those who support the Russian defense industry. Those persons and structures that by their actions contribute to the development and production of large-scale military equipment and high-tech traditional weapons by Russia should suffer from prohibitive measures.
The Pentagon invites the US government to track suppliers of Russian military industry and impose sanctions against them. Although partial sanctions against the Russian military-industrial complex have already been introduced by the United States, the new measures are designed to supplement them and further complicate the situation of the Russian defense industry. Among the main problems that the Russian defense industry may face is the closure of the supply channels for the machines used for the needs of the military-industrial complex. In post-Soviet Russia, the production of their own metal-cutting and other machine tools that are involved in the production of weapons has practically ceased. Most of the equipment is purchased abroad. Colossal financial, temporary and organizational resources will be spent on the restoration of domestic machine tool building.
Another area in which Washington could harm the Russian military industry is software. Indeed, most programs today are produced in the United States or in other countries that are closely related to the United States. Of course, if software companies face the prospect of sanctions against them by the United States, they themselves may refuse to sell programs to Russia.
Russia cooperates with the United States itself in terms of the supply of military equipment and technologies very limited. Therefore, the main blow will be dealt precisely on trade between Russia and third countries - France, Germany, Israel, South Korea, etc. After all, these countries depend on cooperation with the United States in the fields of high technology and the defense industry. If there is a choice between cooperation with the United States and the supply of equipment or technology to Russia, then there can be no doubt what choice these countries will make.
At the same time, many experts doubt the real danger of Washington’s new measures for the Russian defense complex. After all, Russia is the second largest exporter of military equipment and weapons in the world. Most countries that are buyers of Russian weapons will buy it, and the United States will not take any action against them, since this would seem like a complete absurdity. The United States itself will suffer, as many countries can begin to build independent schemes of cooperation with Russia.
