Rosoboronexport Extends Sales Spectrum

THIS YEAR MIKHAIL KALASHNIKOV`S centennial will be widely celebrated on November, 10th.

The great small arms designer worked for the Russia’s sole state-owned arms trade company Rosoboronexport for many years as chief adviser to the Director General on small arms and personally brought the company hundreds of contracts with foreign customers for the supply of weapons of his own design.

The Kalashnikov jubilee combines a variety of events including a high-ranking conference which was held on September, 17th in the city of Izhevsk where the master’s most famous product AK-47 was born at the local plant. Being one of the event sponsors, Rosoboronexport signed an agreement on cooperation and partnership with the “Kalashnikov Union of Russian Gunmakers” non-profit organization.

The document signature aims to increase export volume of non-military and service weapons and related ammunition. Besides, the agreement is to improve cooperation between the main Russian exporter and manufacturing enterprises for better marketing.
