Military-industrial complex of Russia in this year's supply to foreign customers of weapons and military equipment worth $ 10.14 billion This forecast was made CEO of the Center for Analysis of world arms trade (TSAMTO) Igor Korotchenko. Adopted its own army and navy of the Russian Federation is planning to spend the next ten years to 22.5 trillion rubles.

"According to the existing portfolio of orders and intentions of the direct procurement of arms, the value of Russian arms exports in 2011 will be at least 10.14 billion dollars", - quotes RIA Novosti Korotchenko.

Predominant place in the structure of Russian exports will aeronautical engineering. Globally, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, military aircraft accounted for 27% of exports of arms in the world.

In 2011, Russia plans to export aircraft to $ 3.384 billion, representing 33.4% of total exports. Of these fighters - to $ 3.014 billion, combat-capable aircraft - a $ 230 million, military transport aircraft - a $ 100 million, other types of aircraft - a $ 40 million

In particular, it will be signed the first export of the Su-35, including potential customers are called Libya, Venezuela and China. Another eight Su-30MK fighters should be sent to Indonesia. However, the biggest buyer of Russian aircraft would be India, with no contracts to which the Russian defense industry would look very pale.


With India the Russians are likely to create a fifth generation fighter aircraft. The man who last year had already famously flew to the domestic media. But while Delhi wants to buy 42 Su-30MKI.

Not be ruled out that India has a major contribution to a package of orders for the domestic defense industry due to the planned upgrade already in the arsenal of the country's 50 Su-30MKI fighters. Also in the number of prospective orders included 126 medium-sized multifunctional combat aircraft, MiG-35, but the winner is announced by the country's bid has not been determined.

India has also shown interest in buying two aircraft airborne warning and control "Falcon." Buy two platforms for the IL-76 can Israel, which will fill with their own navigation equipment and armament.

China continues to reduce purchases of Russian military equipment. Moreover, the country has already become one of the largest exporters of weapons. It is planned that by 2011 China will sell weapons to $ 1.16 billion


In the future, the Chinese "partners" can be directed only to the party engines RD-93 and AL-31FN, the possibility of renegotiating the contract for IL-76. More Chinese are interested in domestic helicopter, but the volume of supply is likely to be not very significant.


In general, the volume of deliveries of helicopters will be about $ 1.358 billion (13,4%), including attack helicopters - to $ 360 million, anti-helicopter-on $ 400 million, multi-purpose helicopters - at $ 600 million Russian suppliers could hit the jackpot on the almost forgotten Afghan war. Mujahideen and Americans fighting capabilities of the Soviet helicopters have not forgotten, it is assumed that one of the major buyers will be Afghanistan.

In general, looking at the range and volume of supply can be safely assumed, where in the coming years will be inflated so-called low-intensity conflict.
