WASHINGTON \u2015 A White House official said Tuesday Russia\u2019s sanctions-struck defense industry<\/a> is creating an \u201copportunity\u201d for U.S. and western defense firms to take a bite of Moscow\u2019s share of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a practical matter, countries that have had to rely on Russian equipment are going to find it very difficult to get even basic supplies from Russia\u2019s defense industrial base,\u201d Cara Abercrombie<\/a>, the National Security Council\u2019s coordinator for defense policy and arms control, told attendees of industry conference ComDef. \u201cIt is an opportunity, certainly for industry members in the room. It is an opportunity for the United States to provide the support that these countries need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks come weeks after the Biden administration notified Congress it would make $2.2 billion in new Foreign Military Financing grants<\/a> available for Ukraine and former Warsaw Pact countries whose Soviet-made gear has been part of international aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn NATO, that could be to transition our eastern flank partners to NATO-standard, western equipment. But certainly as we look to other countries in the Pacific, this is an opportunity as well, not just for the United States, but for western industry as well,\u201d Abercrombie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon\u2019s chief weapons buyer, Bill LaPlante<\/a>, said more \u201cinterchangeability by interoperability\u201d among allies presents an opportunity, not just economically, but geostrategically. Linking industrial bases, or \u201cfriendshoring,\u201d would mitigate supply chain shocks and be essential to the common defense of the U.S. and its allies, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we have seen in Ukraine, the weapons and equipment provided by the U.S. and its allies are the best in the world,\u201d LaPlante said in pre-recorded remarks at the ComDef conference. \u201cContinuing to more closely integrate these capabilities with increasingly common standards for munitions, software and other components will provide even greater advantages moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though western sanctions have targeted Russia\u2019s defense industry, Russia was in 2021 <\/b>the second-largest arms exporter after the United States, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Its chief clients are India<\/a>, China and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of Russia\u2019s weapons export branch said <\/a>earlier this year that Moscow\u2019s arms export revenue in 2022 is likely to total about $10.8 billion, roughly 26% lower than reported for 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, LaPlante is in Brussels convening a meeting of weapons buyers<\/a> from more than 50 countries to better coordinate defense industrial efforts as they replenish weapons sent to Ukraine from their own stockpiles. The meeting is taking place under the auspices of the 50-nation Ukraine Defense Contact Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dovetailing with Pentagon-led efforts to boost western and allied defense capabilities, the White House will continue the work of a Department of Defense \u201ctiger team<\/a>\u201d seeking to streamline the U.S. process of selling arms around the globe, Abercrombie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin the National Security Council, I am looking at basically a baton pass,\u201d Abercrombie said. \u201cAs DoD wraps up its initial analysis, we\u2019ll be doing an interagency process to look at the collective [effort and] how can we make U.S. foreign military <\/b>sales work better for our partners, or at least be a little faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin<\/a> in August established the task force to address the U.S. foreign military sales process, which spans the Pentagon and State Department. Abercrombie said the streamlining is meant to make the process more nimble without cutting corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about trade restrictions by the European Union that could hinder U.S. defense exports, Abercrombie said the administration is seeking to reduce those barriers. Supply chain challenges make clear it\u2019s \u201ctime to be looking for opportunities to work together to reduce the barriers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S.-led meeting of armaments directors in Brussels also highlights some of the headwinds for allied efforts to arm up. The gathering is aimed at addressing supply chain chokepoints for gun barrels, ball bearings and steel casings \u2015 as well as how to sustain equipment for Ukraine on a long-term basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, more closely integrating with our allies and friends around the world will make us all more secure and resilient,\u201d LaPlante said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
