Russia to complete supply of T-90C tanks to Azerbaijan next year

Russia will complete the supply of T-90C tanks to Azerbaijan in the first quarter of 2015, Itar-Tass reported, citing Esen Topoyev, deputy head of Rosoboronexport, the Russian agency for arms exports.

Azerbaijan ordered 100 four years ago, and some of the tanks have already been delivered. 

Other weapons ordered in 2010 will be supplied by 2017, the official said. 

The entire package of order was worth $4 billion, President Ilham Aliyev said last year.

Konstantin Birulin, deputy director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said Russia can deliver 100 more T-90C tanks to Azerbaijan if needed.
