Description: Although Russian observers believe that Washington imposed sanctions in Russian arms sellers and producers because of these firms' arms sales to Venezuela. Sales to such dangerous states oblige us to analyze the Russian defense export program and the structure of its defense industry. Until now, that industry would have collapsed without arms sales. Arms sales thus have become the main source of its reveneue until the present and will play a key role in Russia's ongoing attempt to regenerate its armed forces while winning friends and influence abroad.
