Russia Begins To Capture New Arab Arms Markets - Envoy

From RIA Novosti:

MOSCOW, February 22 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is beginning to capture new arms markets of Arab countries that were earlier oriented to the West, the head of the Russian Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation said.

"Russia is beginning to enter new armaments markets where our presence was previously considered as hardly probable.

My Comment: The arms markets are going to be hot in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa for many years to come. The Russians weapon platforms are just as reliable as most other countries .... and also a bit cheaper.
