As part of military-technical cooperation with Venezuela, Russia has transferred Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) and S-300VM Buk-M2E to the republic, according to State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlev.
The parliamentarian recalled that Russian Su-30MK2 fighters are the backbone of the Venezuelan Air Force, making it one of the most powerful aviation powers in the region.
The supply of several divisions of S-300VM (Antey-2500) significantly strengthened the country's ability to protect important facilities from air attacks. According to the latest information, Russian Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2E systems were delivered to Caracas by an Il-76 transport aircraft just the other day.
Zhuravlev added that nothing prevents Russia from supplying Venezuela with the latest weapons. However, information about the volumes and exact names of what is being brought from Russia is secret.
I see no obstacles to supplying our friendly country with new developments such as Oreshnik or, say, the well-proven Kalibrs. No international obligations limit Russia in this.
As a reminder, information appeared on the Web that a Russian military transport Il-76 had brought a secret cargo to Venezuela at least twice.
And very recently, the Venezuelan Air Force showed footage of two Su-30MK2 fighters flying with suspended Kh-31 missiles of Russian production.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Burevestnik turned out to be more dangerous than it initially seemed.
