The agreement was inked by Alexander Mikheev, Director General of Rosoboronexport, and Boris Obnosov, Director General of KTRV.

“Rosoboronexport is well aware of the need to improve the quality of comprehensive after-sales support of supplied weapons and military equipment. In recent years, this issue has been a critical factor for achieving competitiveness, which receives considerable attention from both foreign customers and suppliers. In addition, well-established business processes in this area are becoming a stable source of revenue and profit growth for Russian defense enterprises. Today we have taken a very important step that our foreign partners will appreciate,” said Alexander Mikheev.

The signed agreement defines the procedure for interaction between the parties in organizing comprehensive after-sales support of military products supplied, being supplied and planned for supply to foreign customers.

In addition, the after-sales support package includes such services important for foreign customers as the maintenance and repair of supplied products, including upgrade, training of customer specialists and sending Russian specialists to the customer's territory.

The agreement also provides for participation in setting up joint ventures with foreign partners to maintain Russian-made military products.
