Good prospects for exporting Belarusian APC Cayman

The State Military Industrial Committee of Belarus sees good prospects for selling the multifunctional armored personnel carriers (APC) Cayman to foreign customers, BelTA learned from the Committee's Chairman Sergei Gurulev. The official said: “We are dealing with commercial and marketing matters. There will be demand. The Cayman APCs finished all the testing in April and are about to be commissioned by the army. Then we will talk about exporting them.” According to Sergei Gurulev, a large number of foreign customers demonstrate an interest in Belarus-made defense products. The number includes Russia, China, representatives of Southeast Asia, in particular, Indonesia and the Philippines. “They are interested in everything based on information technologies, on software. Unmanned aerial vehicles and robots enjoy tremendous demand,” noted Sergei Gurulev. The official underlined that due to the crisis many customers are ready to buy modernized Soviet defense products. “There is demand for those and we are ready to satisfy it,” said Sergei Gurulev. Asked whether any contracts have been signed during MILEX 2017, the official said it was too early for that.
