The Venezuelan government was ready to provide Southern American states with full information on its arms deal with Russia, Vice President Ramîn Carrizàlez has said. Venezuela plans to increase its defense capability over a possible increase in U.S. military personnel in neighboring Colombia and alleged U.S. plan to invade Venezuela and seize its oil fields. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced plans to create a multi-layered air defense network that will comprise Russian-made S-300, Buk-M2 and Pechora air defense systems to ensure the protection of Venezuelan air space and key infrastructure from various ranges, with the help of a Russian $2.2 billion loan. The deal with Russia, struck during a visit to Moscow by Chavez last week, also includes the purchase of 92 T-72 main battle tanks and an undisclosed number of Smerch multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS). Between 2005 and 2007, Moscow and Caracas signed 12 contracts worth more than $4.4 billion to supply arms to Venezuela, including fighter jets, helicopters and Kalashnikov assault rifles.

ニュースアニメ「ロシア、武器輸出でベネズエラに2000億円の融資」
南米ベネズエラの大統領府は、ロシアから戦車などの兵器調達で総額約22億米ドル(約2000億円)の融資を受けると発表した。ベネズエラのチャベス大統領は、ロシアやリ­ビアなど9カ国歴訪を終え帰国している。融資は、T-72型戦車92両、90キロ、300キロが射程の短距離ミサイルなどが対象。また、ベネズエラ軍兵士がロシアで訓練も­受けるとしている。反米の社会主義路線を進めるチャベス大統領は
帰国後、ロシア製短距離ミサイルが近く到着すると述べていた。ただし、自衛目的のミサイル調達とし、他国への攻撃には使用しないと言明。コロンビアで麻薬密輸組織掃討を目­指す駐留米軍増強が進んでいることを踏まえた発言とみられる。ベネズエラ、ロシア両国の軍事協力は2005年以降、顕著になり自動攻撃小銃のライセンス生産などロシア製兵­器の輸出は増大している。ロシア海空軍の艦船、航空機のベネズエラ寄港も目立ち、米国へのけん制の狙いがあるとみられる。

  • Chavez has the right to be concerned about Columbia handing over control of it's 2 military bases for the U.S. - considering the attitude the U.S. has for Venezuela. It's his right to buy arms if he wants to, in order to potentially have to defend himself if anything should arise. Expect the best, be prepared for the worst.

  • ¡que viva Venezuela!

  • @N1cholas240 As far as I know Chavez is considering to buy several Amur submarines (and some Kilo class) of ultimate generation, have you considered it's not necessary to make missile basis in Venezuela?...US media have been lying. Any submarine of Amur class can reach a objective on US territory. I repeat: Venezuela is a ally of Russia.

  • @N1cholas240 Have you thought some time that, in fact, anti missile systems does not exist?, any antimissile system is compound by missiles which can be quickly reprogrammed. the indeed problem with Venezuela is not S-300 system; instead it's Venezuela is military ally of Russia. Sorry for US, Venezuela does not need iranian missiles bases, in fact, Venezuela is very closer from US. The US media have been lying to US people. In this moment any invasion is impossible.

  • @bittemeinrammstein The s-300 can be countered by the new JSOW-ER and JASSM-ER. And new powerful AESA radar jammers.
