Kubinka (Moscow region). August 26. INTERFAX - The situation with the pandemic in Venezuela is still not easy, so it is extremely difficult to guarantee full protection from the coronavirus to specialists in the current conditions, Vladimir Lepin, CEO of the Kalashnikov concern, told Interfax.

"There is still a question of the epidemiological situation in the country. Whether our specialists will be provided with protection from the coronavirus. It is clear that all the vaccinated people will go there, but at the same time we cannot take out a full staff there, contacts with the local population will not be avoided," the general director said.

On August 24, the head of Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev, told Interfax that a plant for the licensed production of AK-103 and ammunition in Venezuela is being built, we are talking about the final stage of work.

He said that taking into account the significant amount of Russian military products purchased by Venezuela earlier, much attention has recently been paid to the organization of its after-sales service and the creation of the necessary service and technical infrastructure.

The head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, previously stated that the United States is interfering with the construction of a plant for the production of Kalashnikov assault rifles in Venezuela.

"We are also building a factory for the production of Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition. Because of the sanctions, the construction is constantly being slowed down - then the electricity will be turned off, then the components do not give the opportunity to bring machines," the head of Rostec noted earlier.
