Russia will soon sign a contract to sell Venezuela armored personnel vehicles, the deputy head of Rosoboronexport, Russia's state arms exporter, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency on Wednesday.
"The direction of military-technical cooperation with Venezuela is going vertically up," Igor Sevastyanov said, adding that talks on supplying coastal defenses and artillery systems were also taking place.
Russia announced last month it was extending Venezuela a $1 billion loan so it could buy arms and military equipment from Russian manufacturers.
