Russia’s volume of arms exports and military equipment has reached the level of almost five billion dollars, said President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Friday. SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): "The volume of export deliveries of weapons and military equipment has already reached the level of almost five billion dollars and amounts to 4.6 billion and the portfolio of orders certainly exceeds 50 billion dollars." SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): "You know that the international arms market has an increasing demand not only for the final product, but primarily for technology and the training of personnel. There was a graduation ceremony recently at our military educational institutions, and I noticed that there are many servicemen from other countries, particularly, though not only, from CSTO [Collective Security Treaty Organization] countries. This is a good thing, of course, and we should continue this way. This is a good thing to do in the future." SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): "Domestic weapons and military equipment proved their effectiveness and reliability in various conditions. They are deployed in Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East and Latin America. It is important that the geography of deliveries is expanding steadily, new agreements are signed and bilateral working groups are created." SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, (Russian): "Russia invests in the development of advanced defence technologies, expanding the range of supplied products: from small arms to the latest means of conducting air and sea battle that can change the balance at any battlefield."
