Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov made the remarks, Operative Information Center-OMM reports.
Alikhanov said Russia is offering African countries not only equipment supplies but also comprehensive services and training for local specialists.
“We are offering not only to supply this equipment. We are also proposing a full package of services and training for specialists from African countries so they can acquire the necessary skills and work independently in the future. Yesterday, we also discussed relevant proposals with colleagues, particularly those from Egypt. We are ready to establish production of these unmanned aircraft systems in African countries,” Alikhanov said.
He cited technologies developed by Geoscan, which were showcased at an exhibition held as part of the forum.
The minister said the company’s drones had already proved effective in the markets of Angola, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa and several other countries.
