What Russia was able to interest the Arabs?
So far, the details of the agreements reached have not been reported, but it is certain that the Qatari army, among other things, will receive the newest Kornet-E ATGM. Currently, negotiations are underway regarding the supply of air defense systems S-400.
The Russian ambassador in Doha, Nurmahmad Kholov, told reporters that as early as October 2017, a document on military-technical cooperation was signed between the countries, after which work began on specific areas. He said that Russia would supply Kalashnikov assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and Kornet anti-tank systems to Qatar. The possibility of supplying the C-400 is also being discussed, but there is still no specific solution. Saudi Arabia and other Arab states in the region are actively opposing this deal.
