Moreover, where the USSR transferred much weaponry under easy commercial terms or without charge (e.g., under long-term loans not expected to be repaid), Russia now discounts arms only for its closest allies. On March 27, 2007, the Defense Ministry announced that Russia’s annual arms exports increased by 50%, from $4 billion to $6.5 billion, from 2001 to 2006.
而且，苏联往往以优惠的条件或者免费（也就是不指望归还的长期贷款）转让许多武器，俄国现在只向最为紧密的盟国提供折扣。2007年3月27日，俄国国防部宣布，从2001年到2006年俄国的年度武器出口增加50％，从40亿美元增加到65亿美元。
