Russian Exporter Ready to Sell Arms to NATO States If Allowed - Rosoboronexport

Greece is the only NATO member that has the Russian-made S-300 long-range surface-to-air missiles systems in service. The Greek military successfully test-fired the air defense system for the first time in 2013 after buying two batteries in 1999.

"Rosoboronexport would with great pleasure, with the relevant decision of the president, supply weapons and military equipment to other countries of the alliance," Mikheev told reporters at the Paris Air Show.

Mikheev cautioned, however, that "at the moment this is hampered by unfair competition from Western countries, expressed in sanctions imposed on Russia and Rosoboronexport."

The Indian Air Force has put into service more than 240 Russian Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets to date, Russia's Rosoboronexport intermediary Director General Alexander Mikheev said Wednesday.
