South Korea interested in buying Russian Sukhoi jets - senator.

SEOUL, February 10 (Itar-Tass) - South Korea is interested in
purchasing military planes of Russia's Sukhoi Company, the chairman of the
defence and security committee at the Russian Federation Council upper
house of parliament, Viktor Ozerov, told Itar-Tass in an exclusive
interview on Thursday.
Ozerov heads a delegation of Russian parliamentarians to South Korea.
According to the senator, South Korea and Russia cooperate in the
military-technical sphere, and the fact that Russian tanks, infantry
fighting vehicles BMP-3 and antiaircraft guns are adopted by the South
Korean Army, testifies to intentions to continue cooperation in that
direction.
"During our talks with South Korean parliamentarians, intentions were
expressed to buy Sukhoi military aircraft. I will speak about that with
the head of Rostekhnologii Corporation, Sergei Chemezov," Ozerov stressed.
"Koreans are satisfied with those kinds of weapons and military
hardware that we have supplied to South Korea, although there are certain
remarks (as to Murena hovercraft), on which we work," he said.
"And we must build up such cooperation that gives us a possibility to
keep our enterprises of the defence-industrial complex busy," the head of
the Russian delegation noted.
Besides, the South Korean side has demonstrated interest in buying
additionally two to three Murena hovercraft.
