Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow values its ties with the countries of Latin America, Asia and Africa and is ready to offer modern weapons to its allies.
Putin used a speech at an arms fair near Moscow to boast about Russia's advanced weapons capabilities and express his willingness to share technology with like-minded countries, reports Reuters.
"(We) are ready to offer our allies the most modern types of weapons, from small arms to armored vehicles and artillery to combat aviation and drones," Putin said at the official opening of the "Army-2022" forum near Moscow.
"Almost all of them have been used multiple times in actual combat"
He was speaking almost six months after Russia's war in Ukraine, where Moscow suffered multiple setbacks and heavy losses.
Western military analysts say the poor performance of Russian troops and weapons could make arms exports less attractive to potential buyers such as India, which has relied heavily on its technology in the past.
