“We traditionally conduct an open and frank dialogue with our partners.
We have always taken a position of maximum openness so that our colleagues do not feel limited both in the use of their equipment and in the subsequent maintenance and modernization, ”he said.
As the minister stressed, if the Russian side supplied the equipment, then it bears full responsibility for it, including maintenance.
At the same time, Russia does not restrict buyers in the use of purchased weapons.
“These are our principles and the golden rule,” he concluded.
Earlier, the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) said that Russia annually supplies the countries of the Middle East and North Africa with weapons worth $ 6 billion.
