Russia will not export Armata tanks, other samples of advanced hardware - official

MOSCOW. April 28 (Interfax-AVN) - Russia will not export either its new tank called Armata or any other samples of advanced military hardware, deputy chairman of the Russian Military-Industrial Commission Oleg Bochkaryov has said.

"We always sell hardware with more conservative features. This is their export version," Bochkaryov told the Ekho Moskvy radio station when asked about possible exports of the Armata tank.

It is still too early to speak about possible sales of Russia's advanced military hardware to foreign countries, but, "definitely, it will not be exported within the next 5-6 years," he said.
