Global arms market has grown well in recent years. Currently Russian weapons are in high demand, which is the most competitive weapons and military equipment that was built in the Soviet era. For tertenu uses, the performance of Russian weapons is even considered better than new advanced weapons artificial west. That said, 2012 is a golden year for Russian arms exports.
Small arms made in Russia (Soviet) and other, more sophisticated equipment is considered to have a good and efficient performance in all climatic conditions. On December 5, an Institution in Washington to East Policy published a report stating that Iranian pilots using Soviet-made fighter aircraft Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO: Frogfoot) managed to intercept a drone (UAV) MQ-1 Predator U.S. Air Force States. The authors of the report said that the Soviet-built aircraft (Su-25) is not an interceptor aircraft because it was not equipped with modern radar, but in fact managed to destroy sophisticated US-made UAVs, as written in Worldtribune.com.
Here's another example to prove the efficiency of Russian-made military hardware. The Pentagon was forced to admit indispensability (quality) Russian Mi-17 helicopter in Afghanistan. Pentagon even intend to make a contract with Rosoboronexport (Russia's defense export giant) worth U.S. $ 900 million. The contract must first be approved by the President of the United States, although eventually canceled, due to the negative recommendation of Congress. Although canceled, some U.S. military analysts considered that Russian arms are very promising and have a competitive edge in the global market.
It is, in fact, has also been announced by President Vladimir Putin at a meeting on December 17, Military and Technical Cooperation Commission. Assessing the results in 2012, Putin said that Russia had sold weapons and services worth more than U.S. $ 14 billion. Volume for the new contract is worth U.S. $ 15 billion. President Putin also outlines Russia's strategy to continue the progress made at this time.
First, he said about the joint production of military products and research developments. For example, Russia held a joint project with Serbia to produce a version of the armored vehicles in Velika Plana, Serbia. Vehicles are most likely already getting export markets of Kenya and Bangladesh. Not long ago, "Russian Technologies" make a deal with the Brazilian company Odebrecht defense Defensa e Technologia to form a joint venture, which will assemble particularly versatile Mi-171 helicopter in Brazil.
Russian companies are involved in a number of joint projects with India, including the development of FGFA fighter (based on T-50 PAK FA) and the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. China also wants Russian designers to take part in the development of fighter aircraft engines. China's desire was welcomed by Russia because many activities will stop cloning combat equipment by China, particularly for machinery and making Russia a partner to find his place in the market.
The second, and perhaps the most promising strategy, is the "modernization of military hardware to restore Russia's position in the global marketplace," said Putin. This year, the company Russian military-industrial enterprise IT, has given more rights to make contracts with foreign customers. This is stated Putin in early July 2012 that services exports by the Russian defense companies in 2011 amounted to about 2.5 billion rubles (about U.S. $ 82 million), this figure accounted for 18 percent of the total volume of all exports from the Russian military. In 2013, these figures may be even greater.
As an example of such cooperation, one of which refers to a contract for service with NATO helicopter fleet in Afghanistan. Now just waiting for the contract signing process. More recently, a similar agreement was signed during the visit of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to Moscow, the contract regarding additional Mi-35M helicopter fleet.
Soviet military equipment was also sold in Africa. some countries with the strongest army in Africa, among others, Algeria, Uganda and Chad have been arming their military with Tank T-90, T-70 tanks and fighter aircraft Sukhoi Su-35M. Recently Ruisa Libya also asked the government to continue military cooperation and provide assistance in modernizing its military equipment. In particular, the new Libyan authorities currently "interested" in the rest of the country after the war equipment Kaddafi regime (Gaddafi) was overthrown. The country has signed a contract to upgrade 200 units of Tank T-72.
Bahrain also has requested delivery of AK103 Kalashnikov rifles in large numbers. Now is the moment for Russia to offer "quality" to Africa and Asia in order to maintain a thick "forest" Soviet military equipment. Rifle mentioned above has been chosen by the countries in the world because of outstanding performance in all weather conditions, in addition to the quality and the price is friendly.
Currently, weapons and military equipment has been supplied by Russia to the 88 countries in the world. Fifty-seven of them are regular customers. India remains the biggest buyer of Russian military equipment. The state purchased a large number of Sukhoi Su-30MKI and Tank T-90S (Bhishma Tank named by India). China is the second largest importer (also for imports from Russia). The state has purchased AL-31FN engine flight and D-30KP-2 worth of U.S. $ 1.2 billion and Mi-17 helicopters worth U.S. $ 700 million. Vietnam also meet Russia's biggest customer list with contracts amounting to U.S. $ 2 billion. The Southeast Asian country bought submarines of project 636 Lightning sea and boats. Countries other largest importer among others; Algeria, Venezuela, Syria (not disclosed).
Russia agreement also includes a portfolio of contracts with Iraq package valued at more than U.S. $ 4 billion. Vladimir Putin said that Russia should promote gun. According to him, this will foster a patriotic spirit for Russian citizens, especially for the youth. Indeed, for the image of Russian weapons abroad, Kalashnikov assault rifles have been doing over and beyond the expectations of Russia. (FS)
