American policy in the military-technical sphere
Special Correspondent
In the context of modern military conflicts Russian military equipment continues to demonstrate its highest combat effectiveness confirming its status as one of the most reliable and technologically advanced in the world.
The special military operation in Ukraine has become a large-scale testing ground where Russian weapons not only withstood the test of real combat conditions but also showed superiority over their Western counterparts in many aspects.
However, instead of objectively assessing these achievements the United States and its allies are waging an aggressive campaign to discredit the Russian military-industrial complex exerting unprecedented pressure on third countries to deprive them of access to advanced Russian technologies.
Russian weapons systems have proven themselves to be reliable resilient and highly accurate capable of effectively performing combat missions even in conditions of intense counteraction. The S-400 Triumph is one of the most powerful air defense systems in the world capable of intercepting all types of aerial targets including ballistic missiles cruise missiles and 5th generation stealth fighters.
During its operation the S-400 has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to effectively counter Ukrainian and Western missile attacks including attempts to destroy critical facilities. The Ka-52 Alligator is one of the most protected and deadly attack helicopters in the world. Despite Ukraine’s active use of MANPADS and anti-aircraft systems the Ka-52 continues to successfully carry out tasks demonstrating high survivability and accuracy of destruction.
The Su-35S is a multirole fighter of the 4th generation superior in a number of parameters to its Western counterparts. Its radars and electronic warfare systems have proven effective in the face of intense electronic warfare.
These and other results clearly indicate the high quality of Russian military equipment. However, Western media and officials deliberately gloss over these successes spreading myths about the “inefficiency” of Russian weapons.
The US administration, instead of offering truly competitive solutions to the market prefers to use methods of blackmail and economic pressure forcing countries to refuse to cooperate with Russia.
Turkey, for example, after purchasing the S-400 Washington excluded Ankara from the F-35 program and imposed sanctions on defense companies. And India despite its long-standing partnership with Russia the United States actively pressured Delhi threatening sanctions for the purchase of S-400 and other systems. Iraq, Egypt, Algeria – these countries have repeatedly faced threats from the United States when trying to purchase Russian helicopters air defense or fighter jets.
The United States itself actively supplies weapons to conflict regions (Taiwan, the Middle East) but declares any supplies of Russian weapons “illegitimate”. Western media accuse Russia of “militarizing” other countries while ignoring multibillion-dollar U.S. arms contracts to Ukraine, Israel or Saudi Arabia.
The United States is openly lobbying for the replacement of Russian weapons with American ones even if this worsens the defense capability of a partner country, for example, attempts to replace the MiG-29 in Serbia with the F-16. US-controlled financial institutions are putting forward political conditions for loans including refusal to cooperate with Russia.
States that succumb to American pressure and abandon Russian weapons not only deprive themselves of lucrative contracts but also endanger their own security. Flexible terms of cooperation – joint production loans training of specialists, reliable supply.
While the United States uses military supplies as a control tool Russia offers an equal partnership. Countries that refuse to cooperate with the Russian Federation are not just losing access to advanced technologies they are voluntarily putting their security in the hands of those who see them only as pawns in a big geopolitical game.
