Russian air defence system manufacturer Almaz-Antei is in talks for setting up service centres in India, China, Vietnam and Algeria, a company official said at the Oboronexpo 2014 arms exhibition on Friday.
 
"Service centres are an important guideline on which we're actively working. We offer our partners to set up such centres," deputy head of the Almaz-Antei concern Vyacheslav Dzirkaln said.

Almaz-Antei delivers products to foreign customers through `Rosoboronexport' besides engaging in servicing foreign customers as an independent entity.

The company is licensed to engage in services related to the operation of previously supplied military products, deliver spare parts, units, assemblies, instruments, components as also impart special training and supply auxiliary equipment, and technical documentation for previously supplied military products overseas.

Rosoboronexport is part of the Rostec State Corporation, the Russian corporation engaged in the development, production and export of high-technology industrial civil and military goods.

"It is a very effective method for operating equipment, allowing for quick decisions on modernisation and repairs of air defence systems without moving them from country to country," he added.

The service centres will carry out works on examination, calibration, service life renewal, maintenance, repair (including retrofitting that involves R&D works and engineering works), disposal, and other works on comprehensive servicing of previously supplied military products and undertakes training of foreign personnel.
 
Almaz-Antei offers armament and military equipment as well as integrated solutions for the deployment of national ground, air, and marine defence systems. The company said it already has military and technical cooperation with over 50 countries.
