Rosoboronexport to Counter States ‘Rebranding’ and Reselling Russian Arms

An official in Russia’s military export corporation Rosoboronexport said that Russia will counter weapon exports of some countries that sell Russian weapons under the guise of their own.

AMMAN (Sputnik) – Russia will counter weapon exports of some countries that sell Russian weapons under the guise of their own, an official in Russia’s military export corporation Rosoboronexport said Wednesday on the sidelines of the SOFEX-2016 military exhibition in Jordan’s capital.

"During the exhibition, we were once again convinced of the existence of unfair competition — at the stands, I will not name the country, were even represented shells of our production and [Russian] labeling," head of Rosoboronexport’s delegation Valery Varlamov said.

According to Varlamov, Rosoboronexport “will not leave it that way.”

SOFEX has been regularly held in Amman since 1996 under the patronage of King Abdullah II Bin Hussein of Jordan and Prince Faisal Bin Hussein.
