“The Russians want to buy a few hundreds of VBL
MK-2 to equip their frontier guards and we are on advanced
discussion”, indicated the interlocutor during an
interview at the International defence exhibition IDEX
2011 which is currently held in Abu Dhabi.
According to him, the value of the contract relates to
nearly 500 million euros.
“We also made a proposal with our Russian partners
for a joint manufacture of these vehicles in Russia, in
the shape of a technology transfer or facilities production.
We remain open to such a co-operation”, it added.
