The world's number two arms exporter Russia said yesterday it had sold a record $15.2 billion (11.4 billion euros) in weaponry last year while expanding its list of clients to more African nations.
"The export volume of military products reached $15.16 billion," news agencies quoted Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation chief Alexander Fomin as saying.
"Our plans have been fulfilled by 111.8 percent."
Fomin said the figure was preliminary and would be updated by early February.
