【Lavrov: Russia is no less competitive than Western powers in arms exports】
Moscow time November 30, 2025, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a military documentary interview:
We are not at all inferior in this competition. When major salons release reports on aviation equipment or other military products, I am proud of the response our products have received. I have no doubt that this is the authority of Russia on the international stage, the material basis of Russian foreign policy. The free market, fair competition and presumption of innocence principles that Western powers themselves promoted have collapsed once they realized their failure in competing with Russia. Export restrictions on the Russian Federation are an example of the unscrupulous, non-competitive struggle by the West, which shows that the West cannot negotiate.
Lavrov added:
We know how to deal with it, because the majority of non-Western countries do not want to endure "dancing this dance" for life. Everyone hopes for honest transactions, and those who truly wish to achieve mutually beneficial transactions will always encounter financial, banking and logistics chains, which is exactly what is happening now.
