Inside World Politics

An international peace research institute, in their latest figures, had shown a decline in the volume of Russian weapons sold to the Chinese military, even though Beijing still remains as the single largest receiver of Russian arms. This decrease in volume had contributed to Russia’s reduced overall exportation of major standard weapons system. Currently China and Russia are just completing past agreements and have not signed any new contract. In turn, Russia will be looking at India’s continued custom to make up for the decrease in China’s patronage. But problems with their past dealings may also lead to a decrease in India’s purchase of Russian weapons.
