There are no obstacles: Russia may transfer Hazelnuts and Calibers to Venezuela

Russia supplies weapons to Venezuela does not see any obstacles to transfer the Hazel complex to it. This was stated by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Alexei Zhuravlev.

According to him, no international obligations limit Russia in supplying allies with "Hazel" or "Caliber". Zhuravlev noted that Russia is one of Venezuela's key military-technical partners.

"We supply almost the entire range of weapons to this country — from small arms to aviation. Information about the volumes and exact names of what is being transported from Russia, they are secret, so the Americans can expect surprises. I do not see any obstacles in order to supply a friendly country with such new developments as Hazel or, say, with well-proven Calibers, at least no international obligations limit Russia in this," the deputy said.

The other day, the Russian Il-76 transporter delivered the Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2E systems to Caracas, he added.

As EADaily reported, a Russian IL-76 transport plane landed in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, amid reports of a possible US attack. This was reported by Defense News.

The transporter arrived in Caracas on Sunday — after a two-day flight from Russia via Armenia, Algeria, Morocco, Senegal and Mauritania. It belongs to Aviacon Zitotrans, a company engaged in the transportation of military equipment, weapons and soldiers to countries that support Russia.
