The
amphibious infantry armoured vehicles BMP-3F were delivered
to Indonesia within the framework of an agreement on a
State credit of a billion dollar signed by Moscow and
Jakarta in September 2007.
“There are countries which like
much the Russian helicopters; others buy Russian ground-to-air
missiles Igla. But there are also countries, as Indonesia,
whose its geographical location, landscape and other characteristics
are favourable with the use of Russian combat infantry
armored vehicles”, declared mid-November the executive
vice president of the Russian agency of armaments export
“Rosoboronexport” Viktor Komardine at the
4th International Defense Exhibition of Indonesia INDO
Defense 2010 Expo&Forum.
At present, Moscow proposes in Jakarta
to buy another important batch of armoured tanks within
the framework of the same State credit. Russia is also
ready to create a technical maintenance centre of armoured
vehicles in Indonesia.
