Over the past 5 years, Belarus has doubled the volume of the export of military products. In 2016, exports amounted to $ 1 billion. This was announced by Chairman of the State Military-Industrial Committee Syarhei Huruliou.
According to Mr Huruliou, such a “serious figure” was achieved thanks to the continued expansion of the market. At the moment Belarus is selling military goods to 52 countries in the world, BelTA writes.
Паводле слоў Гурулёва такая «сур’ёзная лічба» была дасягнутая дзякуючы пастаяннаму пашырэнню рынка. На дадзены момант Беларусь гандлюе прадукцыяй ваеннага прызначэння з 52 краінамі свету, піша БелТА.
