Russia Plans to Increase Export of Naval Equipment – Putin's Aide

Russia wants to increase the share of naval equipment’s exports in the supplies of military production abroad as the necessary conditions for it have been created, Russian Presidential Aide for Military-Technical Cooperation Vladimir Kozhin said Thursday in an interview with Rossiya 24 television channel.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – He added that the Russian defense industry was ready to boost supplies of the naval equipment.

"Aviation equipment is still the main export – over 50 percent [of military production supplies]. Land vehicles follow with some 20 percent," Kozhin said.

"The third place is occupied by air defense and electronic warfare systems and the Navy closes the list. We want these criteria to shift, those coming at the last place should improve their positions."
