New Customers for Russian Fighters
The past year was a successful one for Russian manufacturers of combat aircraft. After a relative decline in export deliveries during 2005, Russia significantly increased both its order backlog and the amount of military aircraft and helicopter deliveries in 2006. Russian companies also managed to extend the geographical reach for their exports: in 2006, Algeria and Venezuela became new customers for Russian fighters.

These Sanctions Have Bigger Targets
Despite President Vladimir Putin's blessing on Friday for an $18 billion deal between Russian titanium producer VSMPO-Avismo and U.S. aircraft producer Boeing, the announcement by the U.S. State Department on Aug. 4 that it was slapping sanctions on Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport and leading aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi could still cause serious problems for U.S. and Russian companies.

New rating of Russia's top defense enterprises
The Center for the Analysis of Strategy and Technology (CAST), an independent Russian analytical organization in the weapons export field, released its annual rating of companies by volume of military production today. CAST experts say that the Russian arms industry has stopped being export-oriented. The center estimates that the domestic market share of the top 20 defense companies increased from 32 percent in 2004 to 38 percent in 2005. “That tendency was especially notable in the activities of individual companies and sectors,” CAST director Ruslan Pukhov said. “By volume of proceeds of Almaz-Antei, Sukhoi and Tactical Missile Weapons, the share of the domestic military order reaches 30 percent.” Those companies are working on new-generation weapons systems – fifth-generation PAK FA, Su-27SM2 and Su-34 fighter jets at Sukhoi and the S-400 ballistic missile at Almaz-Antei.

As Iran rattles new sabers, some say the weapons come mostly from Russia
Iran has unveiled with great fanfare a series of what it portrays as sophisticated, homegrown weapons – flying boats and missiles invisible to radar, torpedoes too fast to elude. But experts said Tuesday it appears much of the technology came from Russia and questioned Iran's claims about the weapons' capabilities. Still, the armaments, tested during war games by some 17,000 Revolutionary Guards in the Persian Gulf, send what may be Iran's real message: its increased ability to hit oil tankers if tension with America turns to outright confrontation.

Russia Eyes Debt-for-Deals Strategy
By striking its biggest arms deal with Algeria and agreeing to write off its Soviet-era debt, Russia is testing a diplomatic scheme that can be applied to other solvent and arms-hungry debtors and, in the meantime, promote its nascent state-controlled aviation holding, Russian defense analysts said.
