Chinese Military Exports (Land Systems)

tacoburger said:

Well it's related to Chinese export of vehicles, of which Russia has very few of, which is weird considering the constant miliatry engagments that they find themselves and their status as China's ally. I was just pointing that out. It would be only considered off topic if I suddenly started talking about Russian ballet or about this cool Russian knife that I once bought.

I bet Russia is really regretting letting their pride in their military not allowing them to buy much in the way of foreign equipment, especially before a certain war started.

Yeah, pride fucked over Russia by blinding them to chinese arms markets, right before a major war. How is that off topic? It's about Chinese arms exports, and a potential customer that could have benefited but got completely screwed by pride/ego. Which I remarked on.

This thread isn't about Russian pride or the war in Ukraine.

It's about Russian refusal to buy chinese equipment/hardware, which I have stated is probably due to ultranationalist pride. How is this any different from the speculation on potential customers and their reasons for buying chinese hardware/equipment that litter this thread?
