MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The negotiations on Brazil’s possible purchase of the Panzir-S1 systems have been held for several years.
"Together with Rosobornexport [Russia's state arms exporter] we are consistently working with Brazilian partners on this project. Hopefully, the decision on buying these really unique complexes essential for Brazil will be made," the statement said.
The deal initially was planned to be reached before 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil to ensure the country’s security.
