Alianças e investimentos estratégicos

“We will sign an agreement to install Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition plants in Venezuela during talks in Moscow tomorrow,” Chavez, quoted by the Interfax agency, told journalists in Izhevsk where he was visiting an ammunition plant.

The Venezuelan president also said that he plans to sign “a contract to acquire the world’s best Su-30 plane.” “The first Su-30’s will arrive in Venezuela before the end of the year,” he said.

As MosNews already reported on Wednesday, the U.S. administration has asked Russian authorities to reconsider their arms deal with Chavez, but it seems that Russia is intent on expanding its geography of military hardware deliveries. An arms deal with Chavez is yet another way of snubbing the U.S. for its failure to promote Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization.
