Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia needs to strengthen its position in the global arms market by increasing exports of weapons, APA reports citing Reuters.
In televised remarks, he also said the country's military complex needs more state support to develop its potential.
India, China and Egypt are among the biggest buyers of Russian arms.
"The portfolio of orders for Russian military products is now serious. It is tens of billions of dollars. And it is necessary to actively increase the volume of export deliveries," Putin said.
He also singled out weapons that utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI).
"The future of the global arms market lies with such technology. Strong competition will unfold here, and is already unfolding, for which we must be prepared," Putin said.
