The
GAZ-2330
Tigr vehicle, manufactured by Russia's Arzamas
machinery plant (AMZ), will be exhibited at Latin America
Aero and Defense (LAAD) on April 12-15 in Rio de Janeiro.
"Construction
of licensed production and assembly facilities, manufacturing
certain armored and motor vehicles and small arms, is
evolving into one of the crucial lines of military technical
cooperation between Russia and Latin American countries,"
Rosoboronexport said in a statement.
The
Russian exposition at LAAD-2011 is sponsored by the Russian
Technologies State Corporation, and the Russian delegation
is headed by Deputy Director of the Russian Federal Service
for Military-Technical Cooperation Alexander Fomin.
Russia,
the world's second largest arms exporter after the United
States, sold $8.6 billion worth of weaponry last year.
Rosoboronexport
has established mutually beneficial arms trade ties with
Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay, and Ecuador
through active marketing efforts. These countries express
their interest in Russian air defense systems, radars,
combat aircraft and helicopters, naval equipment, and
small arms.
