Russia eased Arms Resale Law to circumvent CAATSA

Russia has eased its Arms Resale Law as a possible to tool to circumvent the U.S.’ Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) law. Countries can now resell the arms they bought from Russia without notifying Russia of the transaction.

Russia is hoping that this now will be enough for countries to not be penalized by CAATSA. But one problem here I think is that it will make Russian arms more expensive since a “Middle Man” will now be involved who will definitely add to the price for Profit.

At any rate, let’s see if this will really be an effective tool against CAATSA.
