The result can be seen in the rise of foreign competition in the international arms market. American manufacturers are finding themselves increasingly vulnerable in areas that they once dominated – including unmanned aerial platforms, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, missiles, and satellites – as low-cost competitors gain market share.
结果可以从国际军火市场上外国竞争的日益激烈一窥端倪。美国制造商发现它们在曾经主宰的领域日益孱弱——包括无人机平台、情报监视和侦察、导弹和卫星等——因为低成本竞争对手赢得了市场份额。2013年，俄罗斯武器出口额比美国高出20多亿美元。
