Russia's fading military credibility has manifested in notable alliances falling through, with countries like Turkey abandoning the S-400 system in favor of Western alternatives, while India and Serbia pivot toward more reliable Western military assets.

The resultant decline in Russia's arms prowess can hardly be overstated. As nations pivot away from reliance on Russian military hardware, the fundamental underpinnings of its geopolitical strategy unravel. The arms industry, once a cornerstone of Russia's global leverage and influence, is crumbling—and amid ongoing conflict, the prognosis remains bleak.
