As reported by the RIA Novosti news agency, Russia and Pakistan have signed contracts for the supply of anti-tank systems, air defense systems and small arms to the Pakistani side, said the chief of the General Staff of the Pakistani Army, General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

The patrol ship "Dmitry Rogachev" of the project 22160 of the Russian Navy, which arrived as part of a detachment of ships of the Black Sea Fleet in Karachi (Pakistan) to participate in the international naval exercises AMAN-2021 conducted under the leadership of the Pakistani Navy, 11.02.2021 (c) RIA Novosti

The general made this statement on the sidelines of the international naval exercise AMAN-2021, which ended in Pakistan on February 16, 2021. The Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has not yet commented on this information.

The general called Russia "a good friend of Pakistan", with which Islamabad, as a partner in the SCO, would like to develop relations not only in the military sphere.

The Chief of the General Staff recalled that in recent years, Pakistan has acquired Mi-35 combat helicopters from Russia.

Earlier, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, said that the country is interested in acquiring weapons from Russia, and the Pakistani military is already in contact with Russian colleagues on this issue.

In November 2014, Russia and Pakistan signed an agreement on cooperation in the defense sector. At the moment, Moscow has delivered a batch of Mi-35M attack helicopters to the Pakistani side. Also in 2017, representatives of the Pakistani authorities expressed interest in buying Russian T-90 tanks, electronic equipment, and air defense systems.
