More and more countries are preferring weapons made in Russia over those made in Western countries. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, TASS reported, quoted by Focus.

According to him, Russia maintains long-standing partnerships with countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. "These relations have been built a long time ago with many countries around the world", Lavrov pointed out.

The minister added that even countries that until recently relied mainly on Western manufacturers are now rethinking their choice. "After recent global events and various conflicts, many see that our equipment is more reliable and more effective", he said. "It is easier to use, has proven its qualities in real conditions and is more affordable", adds Lavrov.
