They are happy with such cooperation, as we offer an acceptable scheme for our foreign partners. We are very flexible in responding to different wishes. Many of our samples of weapons and military hardware match international analogues or even better in quality and reliability,” said Roman Golovchenko.

The chairman of the State Military Industrial Committee cited Belarus’ latest novelties in electronic warfare as an example.
