KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) — India's MKU military protection gear manufacturer is ready to cooperate with Russia's Armed Forces, seeing the country's military as a potential customer, Isheet Rajput, the MKU deputy manager for international sales told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"We've already been exporting in more than 100 countries now, but Russia and the CIS region is more or less untapped, that's why we are expecting some good business in Russia [with the Armed Forces]," Rajput said on the sidelines of the Army-2016 military expo underway in the Moscow Region.
Rajput added that the company's lightweight bulletproof vests could be of special interest for both the Russian Armed Forces and special police forces.
