Specifics of military and technical cooperation of Russia with allied countries at the modern stage: economic aspect

The article describes the author's approach to the definition of allied, hostile and neutral countries, and substantiates the necessity to fully expand military-technical cooperation with allied countries in the context of growing sanctions pressure from the countries of the «collective West». Based on an analysis of the economic aspects of this cooperation with key importers of Russian weaponry, the authors substantiate the necessity to make a gradual transition to joint development, production and operation of armaments and military equipment with simultaneous expansion of co-operation relations and deepening of co-operation in carrying out activities and providing services in the field of standardisation of military products along with preserving the already established formats of cooperation, including direct deliveries of military products, alternative financial and economic mechanisms of trade, Russia's participation in exhibitions of weapons and military equipment held in friendly countries, and a number of others.
