It became known about the supply of Russian automata to Saudi Arabia. We are talking about AK-103 machines. Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheev confirmed this information, noting that the contract is being actively implemented.
An important addition from Alexander Mikheev is that Russia and Saudi Arabia are ready for the next stage of military-technical cooperation. This stage consists in creating a production of Kalashnikov assault rifles for the needs of both Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. Discusses issues related to the localization of the production of Kalashnikov assault rifles (AK-103) in Saudi territory.
The relevant parameters of the project Rosoboronexport plans to submit to the government. And they are going to resolve this issue until the summer of this year.
At the same time, the development of a contract on the supply of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems C-400 to Saudi Arabia continues.
It should be noted that earlier the market of Saudi Arabia was actually closed to manufacturers of Russian weapons. It was almost entirely hosted by the United States of America. Now Saudi Arabia has decided to diversify its weapons imports, although the lion's share of it, of course, accounts for American products. Recall that during his first foreign tour, Donald Trump visited Riyadh and agreed on the acquisition of more than $ 100 billion worth of weapons by the Saudis over the course of several years.
