媒體:俄羅斯對中國軍售幾近停擺
法新社╱劉學源 2008-01-29 23:20
(法新社莫斯科二十九日電)俄羅斯「獨立報」今天報導指出,由於俄國軍方高層將領對於那些技術能出售給鄰邦中國深感苦惱,俄國軍火工業出口至中國的武器裝備滑落至幾近於零。報導表示,國防部長謝爾久科夫將走訪中國,試圖在總統蒲亭於今年五月任期屆滿前解決此一問題。
報導稱,以往對中國出口軍火,佔俄國外銷軍火獲利的四成,「最近出口至中國的俄國軍事裝備和武器滑落至幾近於零」。
報導指出,其中一個問題是,在烏茲別克承包商發生問題後,供應運輸機和加油機的一項合約最近破局。
獨立報引述主管軍火工業高層官員德米崔耶夫指出,問題的癥結在於俄國當局對於那些技術能安全出售給中國舉棋不定,以及中國希望取得自行生產的授權。
俄國武器出口局和國防部,都不願針對這項報導發表評論。
報導又說,莫斯科當局願意出售先進技術給印度,「已激怒中國將領」。印度是另一個俄國軍火進口大國。
俄國一直尋求與中國發展更緊密軍事關係,尤其是透過「上海合作組織」;此外,同為聯合國安全理事會常任理事國的兩國,也經常在政策上密切合作。

Newspaper: Russian Arms Exports To China In Collapse - AFP
MOSCOW (AFP)--Russia's arms industry is suffering a near collapse in exports to China as military top brass agonize over which technology the neighboring state should be allowed, a Russian daily reported Tuesday.
The independent newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta said Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov would visit China to try to resolve problems in this key relationship before President Vladimir Putin's final term ends in May.
From a situation where 40% of Russian earnings from arms exports came from China, "recently exports to China of our military equipment and weapons have dropped almost to zero," the paper said.
One problem is the recent breakdown of a contract to supply transport and refueling aircraft after problems at an Uzbek contractor, the paper said.
But the main issue is indecision over which technology can safely be sold to China, as well as Beijing's desire to receive licenses to do the work itself, the paper said, citing a senior officer overseeing the arms industry, Mikhail Dmitriyev.
Russia's arms export agency declined to comment on the report when contacted by AFP, as did the defense ministry.
The paper said Moscow's willingness to deliver cutting-edge technology to India, another major importer of Russian weapons, had "embittered the Chinese generals," the paper said.
Russia has sought close military ties with China, particularly through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, while the two countries have often aligned their policies as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
