MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will hold talks with its partners in the Middle East on the sale of new anti-drone weapons systems, the Interfax news agency said on Monday, following an attack on vital oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia.
The news agency quoted the news, citing the company "Rosoboronexport" Russian government exporting arms. The company will discuss sales of new anti-aircraft weapons at the Dubai Air Show in late November, company director Alexander Mikheyev said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday expressed willingness to help Saudi Arabia to protect it, and encouraged it to buy Russian weapons after the attack on Aramco facilities.
Putin said on the sidelines of a summit with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts in Ankara, `` It will be enough for the Saudi leadership to make a wise decision, as did the leaders of Iran to buy S-300 system and President Erdogan to buy S-400 air defense system from Russia, then they will be able to protect any facility in Saudi Arabia.
