In the first half of this year, Russia expects to finalize a deal for the supply of Saudi Arabia’s C-400 systems, Vladimir Kozhin, presidential aide for military-technical cooperation, told Interfax.
The final document yet. In the first half of the year, I think I’ll finish
- Kozhin said, answering the agency's question about the timing of the transaction.
February 11 head of the state corporation "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov, in an interview with the Washington Post, said that Russia and Saudi Arabia have not yet reached a final agreement on the supply of air defense systems C-400.
Kozhin, in a February interview with Kommersant, also spoke about the work on this contract.
I cannot say that everything is smooth there: negotiations continue, primarily because the partners insist on a sharp jerk, implying both supply and technology transfer. We, having quite a lot of experience, respecting and appreciating the potential of a partner, still offer to move step by step. First, the delivery of finished weapons, the development and understanding of it, familiarizing our specialists with the capabilities of the opposite side. This is a complex chain, so we tell our partners that we should not hurry
- said Kozhin.
