MOSCOW. Feb 20 (Interfax) - Russia is fulfilling arms export obligations, and the book of orders remains at $50 billion - $55 billion, Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said in an interview with Interfax.
"Today, in the midst of the special military operation, a substantial part of weapons is consumed domestically, by the Russian Armed Forces. Their provision is our absolute priority but even under the circumstances we are continuing to work with partners from friendly countries and are fulfilling our obligations," Manturov said.
"As for the book of arms export orders, it amounted to $50 billion - $55 billion in recent years (over 3 trillion rubles). Approximately the same trend prevails today," he said.
The final estimate of 2022 supplies has yet to be drawn up, but every target is expected to be met, Manturov said.
Earlier official reports said that Russia annually exported about $14 billion - $15 billion worth of weapons.
