"Shift in Global Arms Trade: As the US Tightens Export Controls, Ukraine Surges as New Supplier of Tactical Goods. In a significant shift in the global arms trade, countries that have long relied on the United States for tactical goods and military equipment are now increasingly turning to Ukraine as a new supplier. This development comes as the US has tightened its export controls in recent years, limiting the sale of sensitive military technology to certain countries. With Ukraine's own military modernizing and expanding its capabilities, the country is emerging as a major player in the global arms market, offering a range of tactical goods and services to international clients."


The countries that bought American tactical goods for decades are now buying Ukrainian, too.
