Rosoboronexport: Russia does not intend to ignore the facts of gun piracy

32
At the military exhibition SOFEX-2016 held in Amman, “pirated” copies of the Russian weaponsthat are exhibited by some countries under the guise of their own developments, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to the head of the security department of Rosoboronexport, Valery Varlamov.



“During the exhibition, we once again became convinced of the existence of unfair competition: I will not call countries on the stands - even our production shells stood and (with our) marking”,
said Varlamov.

According to him, “official protests have not yet been announced,” but Russia “will fight against unscrupulous arms exports and just will not leave it.”

The newspaper notes that in Jordan, Russia presented not only small arms, but heavy weapons.

“Considering the scale of today's regional calls and the increased interest on the part of foreign partners in Russian military equipment, we decided to expand the nomenclature of the submitted samples. We offer weapons that are guaranteed to ensure the superiority of national security forces over large, well-equipped and trained terrorist groups, ”Varlamov said.

In its release, Rosoboronexport noted that “foreign customers have shown increased interest in the export version of the Su-34 fighter-bomber, the Vienna’s self-propelled automated artillery system, tank T-90MS, BTR-82A armored personnel carrier and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. ”

In addition, potential customers were interested in the Kornet-E / EM anti-tank complex, the TOC-1 heavy flamethrower, the Uran-6 demining complex and the Gall mortar.

          Pakistan completely removed unlicensed Russian weapons from the international arms exhibition in Istanbul, RIA Novosti reported on Thursday, April 30.

          On April 27, on the first day of the exhibition, Russian military experts saw unlicensed copies of a Kalashnikov assault rifle, an RPG-7 hand grenade launcher, and a D-122 30 mm artillery shell on the stand of the Pakistani delegation. The Russian side demanded that counterfeit samples be removed.

          On April 29, Pakistanis removed a Kalashnikov assault rifle, but the grenade launcher and shell remained on the stand until April 30.

        on the stands - I won’t name the country - there were even shells of our production and (with our) marking

        This is the highest degree of arrogance ... Courts are of course a good thing (but a long one), but representatives would have to fill their muzzles (without witnesses of course)))))

          This is simply the highest degree of lawlessness. Until all these exhibitions, the organizers will let merchants with copies (and as far as I understand, the availability of products on the stands is consistent), so this will continue. That the specialists from Ukroboronexport with their clones of our small arms and artillery weapons, that the Chinese brothers with their lot of counterfeits, that for example the former Bulgarian brothers with their Arsenal plant - they generally filled up with ammunition and a rifle, a la Kalashnikov ", everything and everyone ... request

            Yes, such a hi should have been raised! And to hell with that political correctness. angry Let the magazines let them take it off. To prevent it and charge it to the head of that delegation. Once they would have done so. Next time this would not have happened. And then he complains here. Ugh

      It's about something else, as I understand it, that there, in general, the ammunition of our production was put up under the guise of ours.

      Combat counterfeit weapons is simply informing the buyer of an unscrupulous seller. You don’t buy, I think, a second-hand car if you find out that it is stolen ... yes repainted, and the unit numbers seem to be different, the TCP is slightly corrected, but cheap ....

    The effect of the fight against "piracy" will be only if for such tricks it will be possible with a 100% guarantee "will get in a melon". At the current level, this is only "preparing a diplomatic position" for negotiations. China is big ... Few of them have a "decree", and we have not invested money in the ammunition industry for 30 years. Draw conclusions. Who will make a Kalashnikov assault rifle, ammunition, and the Grad RS without a twinge of conscience. Yes, a lot more.

      Why so categorically? Just once, in front of the houses of the leaders of the country, which we will not call, these same ones will begin to break with our product labeling. And what? All is fair. It's not ours, it's yours !!!

      Jacques Berthier. "Industrial espionage". Both states and firms are interested in this. Yes, direct copying can be proven, but if a little, not fundamentally change the appearance, a few minor details and a series of proceedings in arbitration will stretch. One arbitration admits you are right, the other the correctness of your competitor. China does not pay attention to * patent law * at all and buys licenses only for those products that he cannot copy directly.

    Why is there no protest, if the shells are "our markings"?
    Is it because we are so kind or, in due time, when delivering ammunition without thinking, did not stipulate a ban on re-export?

        and do not give to make money on our weapons now.

    Oddly enough, the presence of effective weapons largely saves from "democratization", at one time Slobodan Milosevic was offered S-300 and fighters through Belarus. But Milosevic refused, which he later regretted. The large losses of the NATO Air Force during the bombing of Yugoslavia might have been pushed back or maybe they completely prevented the rampant of treacherous aggression against independent states. The conclusions have been made. Although India and China have incomparably greater power than Libya at the time. But they want to acquire the S-400. The independence of the arms supplier plays an important role.

    The theft of * intellectual property * generally has a long tradition, but for some reason RUSSIA was reproached for the lack of such property. To listen to * democrats * and the sun rises in the west, today China is stealing everything that is possible, just like the Europeans, also in the * beam of democracy * dress up.

    I will not be mistaken if I call
    1 Hohland - sells the remnants of an inheritance overdue but cheap.
    2 China - copies with speed (enuresis) even cheaper but much worse.
    Both of them are lawless and openly spat on the Piracy Act.

      This is not surprising in the East. The books on weapons provide examples of copying samples by Japanese, Chinese and other countries from the beginning of the XNUMXth century. A.B.

    In Syria, our old weapons use 122mm and 152mm Chinese ammunition as well as rocket artillery, and you can notice that look at the markings on the shells almost everywhere hieroglyphs, though I spent an hour and a freeze frame))). In the first, it’s not just one sale of equipment that is linked to the purchase of our ammunition other than S-400))). All Western contracts are linked either with the acquisition of a production license or with the obligation to purchase ammunition only from the seller or their subsidiaries and enterprises. Violation can lead to serious consequences, cancellation of warranty, the termination of the sale of spare parts for repair assistance and much more can. And that’s why the equipment is sometimes transferred for free))). Poor countries will always buy cheap goods or produce them themselves. And there will always be a country that sells decommissioned weapons and ammunition, as well as a country that buys it.
