Work with the countries of the continent on military-technical cooperation intensified after the second Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, said the head of the company Alexander Mikheev

DUBAI, November 14. /tass/. Work with African countries on military-technical cooperation (MTC) intensified after the second Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, potential partners are focused not only on the purchase of Russian weapons, but also on the localization of their production. Answering a question from TASS, Alexander Mikheev, head of Rosoboronexport, said this at the Dubai Airshow 2023 International Aviation and Space Exhibition.

"The previous summit in Sochi in 2019 brought us more than $11 billion in signed and paid contracts. This year in St. Petersburg we held very serious consultations, some with heads of state, some with defense ministers, which continued after the summit. There is a very high demand for various types of equipment," he stated. Mikheev noted that "each country has its own vision: someone is more interested in marine equipment, someone in air defense systems, someone in shooting solutions, including with the trend of localization of production, including the creation of joint ventures for maintenance."

Speaking about the localization of production, the head of Rosoboronexport clarified: "We are talking about ammunition, about the possibility of participation on our armored platforms with the involvement of local companies that produce components and assemblies, have casting, machining, their industrial competencies." "Everyone wants to have added value, they want to prevent unemployment," he said.

Mikheev also noted that Africa is actively developing economically, "because many countries have independence, independence," and therefore there is a need to review their capabilities for combat readiness of the armed forces.<lt-toolbar contenteditable="false" data-lt-adjust-appearance="true" data-lt-force-appearance="light" style="display: none;"><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__wrapper lt-toolbar-small" style="left: 386px; position: absolute !important; top: 97px !important; bottom: auto !important; z-index: auto;"><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__extras"><lt-span class="lt-toolbar__disable-icon"><lt-comp-icon class="lt-icon-disable lt-icon-clickable" data-lt-prevent-focus="true"><lt-span class="lt-icon__icon lt-icon__disable"><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__divider"><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__premium-icon"><lt-span class="lt-toolbar__rephrasing-icon lt-toolbar__rephrasing-icon-hidden"><lt-comp-icon class="lt-icon-rephrasing lt-icon-clickable" data-lt-prevent-focus="true"><lt-span class="lt-icon__icon lt-icon__rephrasing"><lt-span class="lt-toolbar__rephrasing-icon lt-toolbar__rephrasing-icon-disabled"><lt-comp-icon class="lt-icon-rephrasing lt-icon-clickable" data-lt-prevent-focus="true"><lt-span class="lt-icon__icon lt-icon__rephrasing"><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__status-icon lt-toolbar__status-icon-has-no-errors" title=""><lt-div class="lt-toolbar__premium-icon-dot">
