Russia will supply Qatar with small arms and Kornet ATGM

Last year, Russia signed a contract to supply “traditional weapons” to Qatar, such as small arms weapon and anti-tank complex "Cornet", said in an interview TASS Russian ambassador to Doha Nurmahmad Kholov.

When asked by the correspondent how to assess the military-technical cooperation of the two countries, Kholov said that in October 2017, the parties entered into an agreement on military-technical cooperation, and after that work began on its implementation.

Contracts have already been signed for the supply of traditional weapons to Qatar, for example, Kalashnikov assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and Kornet anti-tank systems.

As for the C-400 anti-aircraft systems, the possible supplies of which were reported earlier, there has been talk about this, but no specific decision has been made yet, the ambassador noted.

Apparently, this question is a matter for the future, he added.

Kholov also said that Saudi Arabia strongly opposes the delivery of C-400 to Qatar. She stated this not only to Russia, but also to the countries of the West. In this case, according to the diplomat, the protests of the Saudis will not be decisive if the issue of supply goes into a practical plane.

Russia, of course, must reckon with the position of Saudi Arabia, since it is in friendly relations with all countries of the region, but in this matter it will proceed from its own interests, he concluded.

Qatar could have bought all this from the Syrian barmaley. They would love to shed it off for him, anyway SAA should be taken. And you can also weld. Or Qatar doesn’t imagine?

[DenZ]

So I think that not myself. We only think about money again, as always.

[Kasym]

I remember how Qatar did with the Russian ambassador. And now much has changed - Sheikh Hamad Al Thani flies to Moscow. Qatar is the sponsor of all groups of Islamic radicals. By agreeing, you can influence this whole thing. Qatar is friendly with the Turks and provides funding for all sorts of military purchases for Islamic countries (Pakistan, Turkey - at least). + Qatar entered Russian energy projects, which the leading energy companies of the West refused, allocating, in my opinion, $ 10 billion. If we agree with Qatar on gas in the same way as with Iran, this will give unprecedented opportunities in gas export - equal to this alliance for the planet will not be.
This is most likely about the 100th AK series, Pecheneg machine guns, new grenade launchers - otherwise it makes no sense.

Let me remind you. In the summer of the 14th year, the Saudis, having accumulated enough reserves over the previous 10 years, forced OPEC countries to sharply reduce the price of oil. The goal is the ruin of competitors in oil production. First of all, Russia, Iran and Venezuela suffered, as well as investors in the production of shale oil in the United States.
In the summer of the 17th, Qatar almost got OPEC to start raising the price of oil. It was then that the Saudis accused him of "supporting terrorism." He broke off diplomatic relations and as a result, oil prices remained low.
Qatar’s accusations are nothing more than a struggle for markets and for a share in oil production.
And yes, I am for friendship with Qatar. I'm generally for friendship. But especially for friendship against friends of the USA.

[GibSoN]

The earth is flat and reptilians rule us ... Apparently the whole point has been reduced to this.
This is just a business! Nothing personal! Only one thing is not clear. Why are Your personal problems, to blame for Qatar, State Department, USA, liberals, etc ...

[Vadim851]

Selling of course S-400, these will pay immediately and without loans. Or the French SAMP-T will occupy this niche from the French; they are buying stable weapons. The Saudis will grumble and nothing more.

[Greg Miller]

What are the small things with Qatar? It is necessary to sell ISIS immediately, directly .... Why do intermediaries?

[cobalt]

No matter how the weapons delivered to Qatar begin to shoot at our fighters in Syria, this worries.

[Vadim851]

Here the Cornet can easily. The S-400 and other complex and expensive weapons will not be delivered, Firstly, if you can still talk with Cornet, then it will not work here.

[Black sniper]

But is not Russia too "scattered" with very modern weapons ?? !! Can they sell bread and meat ....

If they sold the S-400 to a member of NATO, why not even sell Qatar? ... the Saudis, with their unwilling women, to send camels to ride in the desert ....

[Chicha squad]

Who needs it? You just didn’t eat our bread and meat. Better let them sell weapons. Although in the month of January, Qatar bought 600 tons of zinc ingots from us.

I'm interested in why?

[Chicha squad]

I don’t know, I didn’t ask. My work was to accompany the train from Chelyabinsk to the port of Novorossiysk

[marshes]

But everything is clear.

[Pharao7766]

... they will sell their mother for money ...

[Zlat070]

I hesitate to ask, but for what, if not for money, to trade then? Or, in your opinion, we do not need to trade with anyone?

[Russia]

It would be better if you, my friend, covered this drawer with a newspaper and placed rye breads on it, salted cucumbers, onions, coarsely chopped, salsa with a pink interlayer, a glass and a little white bottle, but chilled, and you would have remembered Russia with a kind word - Mother.

Yes, they would remember with a kind word Russia - Mother. hi

These? Well, colleague, of course, I understand everything, because I myself am still an idealist, but not to the same extent ...

[A good one]

Greetings so any kind word affectionate animal warms the ear, and even more so for a person. Who else caresses them like that.

What you answered I do not know (deleted), but delicious! My respect Although fat could have been a little thinner

[Lesorub]

Russia will supply Qatar with small arms and Kornet ATGM

“Salvage doesn't smell” - the Russian Federation didn’t have a clear foreign policy!

[Black sniper]

Sure, don't make friends with the whole world

[Russia]

Like a distinct environment, it was not there either.

And we will help Qatar in holding the World Cup 2022

[protoss]

I wonder what? there already all the contracts have been busy for a long time. South Koreans, Turks and French work in sweat. build the Arabian New Vasyuki (Lusail) for 100 or 200 yards (I don’t remember exactly).

[Knizhnik]

In the top three SA-Qatar-Bahrain, the Saudis are for the main ones, and they have a serious arms business with the United States. Given how much noise was around the deal with Turkey, it is not surprising.

[protoss]

what kind of triple is this? Bahrain is in Sa’s pocket, and Qatar is completely separate from them.

[Knizhnik]

there is Bahrain in your pocket

I wrote so, the Saudis are for the main ones.

and Qatar is completely separate from them

A year ago, they tried to portray this, the Saudis raised almost the entire Arab world on them

[protoss]

the entire Arab world was limited to the very instigators of the crisis - sa and the united arab emirates, well, pocket Bahrain. Egypt still mumbled something, because owes money to the Arabians, but purely for excuse. Kuwait expressed neutrality and offered to become a mediator, Oman sent the UAE and Sa to the hamam and occupied the UAE niche in Qatari logistics.
The Saudis are considered the main ones in the Arab world only by the Saudis themselves and Bahrain occupied by them, and the states are not of a great mind.
these are our political scientists all in one pile, hence the crazy ideas about some kind of pipeline from Qatar through sa, Jordan and Syria to Turkey and Europe, which we must confront.

[Knizhnik]

Mecca and Medina are in the territory of the SA, they already respect it. You can portray last year’s crisis as a storm in a glass of water, if he had not asked for peace and negotiations, that is, he decided not to aggravate and "return to the ranks." Business ties with the Big Cowboy are also appreciated in the Arab world. The idea of ​​the pipeline and all the motions around it that led yourself to know what was crazy was crazy. As it is written in the credits of the film, “not a single Qatari was hurt” ... but it's a pity.

[Knizhnik]

And you know, I’m ready to believe that the idea with the pipeline and everything that has stuck to it is not the idea of ​​Qatar or even the Saudis. Here you can feel the scope!

[Yak28]

Someone buys weapons, someone sells, it's just a business. It’s better to sell than to give out for free like in the old days.

now Qatar is not up to igil. they need to deal with the Saudis

[APASUS]

Qatar is practically controlled by the Americans, and then suddenly the purchase of Russian weapons. Well, with the S-400 it’s understandable, but the machine guns and the ATGM Cornet will not be suddenly then thugs in Syria, or where else?

[protoss]

the fact of the matter is that Qatar is not controlled by anyone, there are attempts to exert pressure, crush, but competent maneuvering between the larger interested powers and a tight wallet allows the emirate to conduct a completely independent policy.
