Other Minor Russian Military exports/aid

Ok, so instead of posting many small threads for minor (and not so minor) export contracts, I thought it would be easier to have one place.
This thread will be for ground vehicles, AFVs the like, I guess we should put Air Defense in a separate thread.

Posted this in a separate thread by accident, but once again, Indonesia looking to buy another 37 BMP-3F for over 100 million dollars.

Kazakhstan signed contract to buy 90 BTR-82s. Deliveries will start in 2013 and continue for 2 years.
This is not the first BTR-82 contract for Kazakhstan. Under the first, they already took deliveries of 30 vehicles in 2011, and are receiving 70 this year.
A 3rd contract is likely in the future.

Good idea to have an export news section.

The Russian Military-Industrial Complex can not find enough domestic orders to ensure that the design and production facilities maintain efficient and profitable/sustainable operations. The excess capacity will have to go to exports.

Arms exports are also a political tool.

Russia to Sign Contract on Mi-35 Deliveries to Afghanistan in October

Russia plans to sign a contract on the delivery of several Mi-35 helicopters to Afghanistan.Russia will continue providing support to Afghan government forces and plans to sign a contract on the delivery of several Mi-35 helicopters to Afghanistan in October, Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan and head of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Second Asia Department Zamir Kabulov told the Izvestia newspaper.


Afghanistan’s first Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum has asked Russia for military aid amid a fight against Islamic State (ISIL) militants."Russia is already providing certain assistance in strengthening the capabilities of the Afghan government forces," Kabulov said, explaining that Russia delivers weaponry to Afghanistan and provides military training for Afghan officers.

According to the Russian envoy, this process will continue and Afghanistan will receive more Russian aid in the near future."We plan to conclude a contract with the Afghan side in October on the delivery, on a commercial basis, of several Mi-35 combat helicopters," Kabulov told the Russian Izvestia newspaper.

He stressed that the key to peace and security in Afghanistan is not the foreign troops present in the country."Afghanistan has an army and many Afghans are capable of bearing arms and know how to use them well. We need to strengthen the national potential, and not try to defend the Afghan government with foreign troops," Kabulov said, adding that the presence of NATO/US forces in the country has led to the rise of extremists, not their decline.


Afghanistan continues to be in a state of political and social turmoil as the Taliban and Islamic State (ISIL) radicals take advantage of instability in the country, which has persisted since the 2001 US-led invasion. On Thursday, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia Gen. Valery Gerasimov said that the number of ISIL militants in Afghanistan stands at around 2,000-3,000 and is growing constantly.

Russia before the end of 2015 will deliver to Afghanistan, 10.000 Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition.

“Deliveries are underway. This morning, an official handover ceremony [for the batch of 10,000 AK-47 assault rifles] was held in Kabul with Afghan officials and our Ambassador [Alexander Mantytskiy] in attendance. So the deliveries are nearing completion,” Kabulov told RIA Novosti.

Russia plans to buy T-80U tanks and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles that gave to South Korea in 1990s as repayment of the Soviet debt. It is assumed that the tanks are designed for disassembly for parts, but interviewed military experts do not rule out the possibility of resale to Cyprus and Yemen.
