KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – Russia’s state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport is set to sell no less than $13 billion in arms to foreign buyers in 2015, Rosoboronexport department head Valery Varlamov said Wednesday.
"According to this year’s plan, Rosoboronexport should sell arms worth no less than $13 billion," Varlamov told reporters at the Army-2015 exhibition near Moscow.
In March, the arms exporter's Director General Anatoly Isaykin said Rosoboronexport exceeded its export projections by $22 million in 2014, with $13.2 billion in weapons sales.
He stressed that arms exports were not affected by the anti-Russia sanctions targeting the country's defense sector, imposed by Western countries over Moscow's alleged meddling in Ukrainian crisis.
