As a result, Russia’s leading defense firms remain heavily dependent on foreign sales. Although Russia’s arms exports have decreased considerably since the Soviet period, its revenue per transaction is now greater because Russian firms have yielded much of the lower-end market to less expensive suppliers like China, India, and other former Soviet bloc allies.
结果，俄国主要的国防公司严重依赖于向外国的出口。尽管俄国的武器出口自苏联时代以来大为减少，但是，由于俄国公司将其大部分低端市场转向较为便宜的供货者，例如中国、印度和其他前苏联集团盟国，其每笔交易的收入反而更大了。
