Russian arms imports do not exceed $100-150 Mln per annum - Rosoboronexport

LE BOURGET, France. Oct 23 (Interfax-AVN) - Russia's annual procurement of foreign armaments and technologies does not exceed $100-150 million, excluding the Mistral helicopter carrier project, Rosoboronexport General Director Anatoly Isaikin told reporters on Tuesday.

"The average amount of imports has been practically unchanged for the past two or three years. The indicator stands at approximately $100-150 million, which is not much considering the $10-11 billion gained from arms exports conducted by Rosoboronexport. We have not summed up this year's results, but the trend is steady," he said on the sidelines of the Euronaval 2012 naval show in Le Bourget, France.
