Russia is a free player on the world arms market, but it is not excluded that the supplies to Pakistan will be coordinated with India and China.
This was stated by Russian experts commenting on reports that Russia has placed Pakistan on the list of countries it might supply military products.
According to independent sources, Moscow had supplied about Mi-28 helicopters to Pakistan.
At present, Pakistan has shown keen interest in high precision weapons, air defence systems, artillery and long-range guided ammunition. It is also interested in the Mi-28 large transport helicopters.
Possible supply of Russian weapons to Pakistan will not cause tension in the Russia-China-India-Pakistan format, says president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems Leonid Ivashov.
If Russia does not supply Pakistan with necessary weapons, then other countries, especially its opponents, will do so. Russia has no intention to give up its position on the Pakistani market when it clearly has competitive advantages.
