“We agreed to continue our co-operation,
more especially as the maintenance of the helicopters
which Russia will deliver to Afghanistan must be assured
by the Russian companies. But we hope that our co-operation
will not stop there. We also evoked other projects at
the conclusion of the signing ceremony of the contract”,
indicated M.Dzirkaln in an interview to RIA Novosti.
It is in particular a question of selling
Russian materials to the Americans. “It would be
too expensive to learn to the Afghan soldiers accustomed
to the Russian and Soviet equipment to use the American
materials. The American specialists recognize it too.
It is thus about a reasonable approach which answers the
American and Russian interests”, added the expert.
