Russia will fight against arms copying.

At the SOFEX-2016 international arms and equipment exhibition for special forces in Amman, several counterfeit copies of Russian weapons were identified, which some countries were selling under their own brand names.

This is a statement from Valery Varlamov, head of the Protection Department of "Rosoboronexport".

"It should be noted that at the Jordan exhibition, Russia not only presented light weapons and equipment for special forces, but also heavy weapons. At the exhibition, we once again confirmed that unfair competition exists: at the booth of a country I will not name, there were even products manufactured by us and bearing our brand names," Sputnik quoted Varlamov as saying.

Varlamov also said that there has been no official protest yet, but Russia will fight against unethical arms exporters and will "not let this go unpunished."

In an official press release, Rosoboronexport stated that foreign customers have expressed strong interest in the export versions of the Su-34 fighter-bomber, the Vena self-propelled artillery system, the T-90MS tank, the BTR-82A armored vehicle, and the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle.
