The
Russian federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE)
“Rosoboronexport” brings the most advanced
items of Russian special-purpose weapons and equipment
to SOFEX 2010. Russia has been traditionally participating
in SOFEX events at the Marka airbase since 2002
with its national expositions set up under the aegis
of Rosoboronexport. The Middle East is seeing by
Rosoboronexport as one of the most promising arms
markets with bright prospects for establishing closer
and deeper military-technical cooperation. Russia
has traditionally maintained friendly relations
with Jordan, the host country, as is evidenced by
continuous bilateral contacts at high level. A number
of items on display at SOFEX 2010 have been developed
with due account of the vast experience that Russia
gained in its anti-terrorism operations. Nowadays
most of these weapons and devices are used by special-operations
units of the Russian Ministry of Interior and Federal
Security Service, allowing them to effectively counter
emerging threats. It must be emphasized that Russian
special-purpose weapons offered for delivery by
Rosoboronexport are manufactured in small batches
and transferred under stringent control practically
denying chances of their falling into the hands
of terrorists. |
