Russia may sign a contract with Venezuela on delivering BMP-3 armored infantry fighting vehicles.
Russia may sign a contract with Venezuela in the next month on delivering BMP-3 armored personnel carriers, Russian news agency RIA Novosti said yesterday, citing the deputy head of arms exporter Rosoboronexport. This would be another major deal for Russia after the last week announcement of the contract for the delivery of 420 BMP-3M Russian vehicles to Greece. "We are preparing to deliver a large number of BMP-3 armored personnel carriers", Igor Sevastyanov, deputy director of Rosoboronexport, was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti. "The contract could be signed in the course of a month," he said.
