So it was because of ethical, I mean not at all ethical, reasons.

They’d be waiting a while for any arms exports from Russia. I recall NATO bombing a Chinese consulate in Serbia during the 90’s to add an extra dimension to this

Ukraine has shown that these systems are not up to western systems
Russia had difficulties honoring existing contracts before the Ukraine war and the latter has worsened the situation
