The company's CEO named China, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and European countries as potential buyers
MOSCOW, September 14. /TASS/. Russia’s Uralvagonzavod, a manufacturer of railway cars and defense-related machines, said on Monday it is ready to look at possible exports of the new-generation tanks, T-14 Armata, to foreign buyers.
"We had a lot of talks with various delegations in the framework of the recent Russian Arms Expo (RAE-2015) - all demonstrated interest in buying these products,"Uralvagonzavod’s director general Oleg Siyenko, told the Ekho Moskvy radio station. "But so far, it is beyond the current agenda. Our priority is to equip our own armed forces with state-of-the-art hardware. But from the point of view of the economy, undoubtedly, we would like to export these products in future."
He said among potential buyer could be countries with big defense budgets, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar. "Sure, there is interest from Europe too," he noted.
Earlier, Russian Minister of Trade and Industry Denis Manturov said Russia was ready to discuss with its foreign partners possible supplies of Armata tanks after 2020, when Uralvagonzavod was through with the orders under the state armaments program.
The Armata is a commonized heavy platform that has served as a basis for a tank and an IFV. An armored recovery vehicle is being derived from it too.
The new tank is furnished with an unmanned turret, all-digital controls and an isolated armored crew compartment. Its main armament is a 125-mm gun, but the introduction of a 152-mm gun sometime in the future is a possibility.

ببساطه الخبر يتحدث عن استعداد الشركه المصنعه للدبابه الروسيه الحديثه (ارماتا) النظر فى تصديرها للزبائن الاجانب....الرئيس التنفيذى للشركه سمى عده دول كزبائن محتملين للارماتا منهم الصين والهند والسعوديه والامارات وقطر ودول اوروبيه اخرى ....
يقول ايضا انه كان هناك محادثات كثيره مع مختلف الوفود فى اطار المعرض الروسى الاخير للاسلحه (RAE-2015)
مدير عام Uralvagonzavod قال ان الكل ابدى اهتمام واضح بشراء تلك المنتجات...ولكن حتى الان فان تلك المحادثات او النقاشات خارج جدول اعمالنا الحالى ...اولويتنا حاليا هى تجهيز وتزويد قواتنا المسلحه بتلك الاسلحه المتطوره فنيا
ولكن من وجهه النظر الاقتصاديه ....بلا شك نود تصدير تلك المنتجات فى المستقبل
قال ايضا انه من بين المشترين المحتملين دول ذات ميزانيات دفاعيه كبيره ( الدول اللى انا قلتها فوق)
فى وقت مبكر ...وزير الصناعه والتجاره الروسى قال ان روسيا مستعده للتباحث مع شركائها الاجانب حول امكانيه تزويدهم بالارماتا بعد 2020 عندما كانت شركه Uralvagonzavod تعمل من خلال اوامر فى الاطار التسليحى للدوله
الارماتا هى منصه ثقيله تخدم بالاساس كدبابه قتال او ifv ويمكن ان يشتق منها مركبات مدرعه وتمتلك برج غير مأهول وضوابط التحكم الالكترونيه معزوله عن طاقم المقصوره....تسليحها الرئيسى يتمثل فى مدفع 125 مم ولكن امكانيه ادخال مدفع 152 مم عليها فى المستقبل هو احتمال وارد
( تحياتى واى اضافه للترجمه هبقى سعيد بيها)
