According to him, the latest Russian materiel the military is transitioning to should be fit for use in various climes around the world.
"We realize full well that combat-proven weapons enjoy a higher demand on the international arms market than the ones lacking a combat record do. Everybody wants reliable hardware tested in battle, because they usually pay a lot of money for it," Valery Polovinkin stressed.
