U.S. Punishes Arms Trader, Sukhoi

By Valeria Korchagina
Staff Writer

The United States has slapped sanctions on state arms trader Rosoboronexport and jetmaker Sukhoi, accusing them of helping Iran acquire weapons of mass destruction.
Officials in Moscow reacted angrily, criticizing Washington for attempting "to impose U.S. laws on foreigners."
The sanctions on Friday came as relations between Moscow and Washington were strained over a number of other issues, from tensions over the Middle East to frustrations over the United States blocking Russia's World Trade Organization bid to Russian delays in announcing large contracts that U.S. firms hope to win.
The United States has been seeking greater help from Moscow in getting Iran to drop its nuclear program, citing fears Tehran is planning to make a bomb. Iran insists its nuclear work is for peaceful purposes only.
The two companies denied in statements any wrongdoing, while the Foreign Ministry hinted that a tit-for-tat response would hurt U.S. companies in Russia. The Defense Ministry said the sanctions were likely a response to Russia's arms deal last month with Venezuela.
Last Monday, Russia voted for a U.S.-backed United Nations Security Council resolution that called for Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program.
Questioned about the timing of the trade restrictions, a senior U.S. government official said there was "never a good time" to impose sanctions, adding: "They know the law," The New York Times reported Saturday.
"In effect, the United States is punishing its own companies by preventing them from working with the most advanced Russian enterprises," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on its web site Friday evening.
The Foreign Ministry's statement was the first indication of the sanctions, which were not officially announced by the U.S. State Department but were later confirmed by unnamed officials within the department.
It was not immediately clear how the sanctions would affect the Russian companies. The sanctions were imposed under the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, a law that bars U.S. government agencies from working with companies judged to be aiding Iran in acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
The sanctions came into effect July 28, and will last for two years.
Of the five other companies put on the State Department's blacklist, two are from India, two from North Korea and one from Cuba, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed State Department official.
"The sanctions apply to the specific entities and their successors, sub-units or subsidiaries, and not their respective countries or government," Reuters quoted the official as saying Friday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. government had "credible information" that equipment and materials that could help Iran make weapons of mass destruction had been sent to the country since 1999.
The Foreign Ministry on Friday denied that the Russian companies had supplied WMD technology to Iran.
"We want to especially stress that Russia limits its cooperation with Iran to supplying exclusively defensive weapons that are not capable of destabilizing the situation in the region," the Foreign Ministry said.
Late last year, Russia agreed to supply $1 billion worth of weapons to Tehran by 2008, including up to 30 short-range Tor-M1 air defense systems.
News of the sanctions came a week after Russia struck a $3 billion arms deal to supply Venezuela with 24 Sukhoi fighter jets and 53 helicopters. There are also plans to build a factory in Venezuela that will produce AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition.
The United States put an embargo on arms sales to Venezuela in May.
President Vladimir Putin and his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chavez, signed the deal in the Kremlin on July 27.
Chavez visited Russia as part of a tour that included several nations critical of the United States, including Iran, Cuba and Belarus. Chavez also said he would visit North Korea, but that leg of the trip was later called off.
In Tehran, Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad talked up the idea of an anti-U.S. alliance.
During his tour, Chavez said Venezuela could also supply weapons to "friendly countries that also require a minimal level of defense."
U.S. annoyance at the arms deal with Venezuela could well be the reason behind the sanctions, the Defense Ministry said over the weekend.
"The sanctions are apparently a U.S. reaction to the Russian breakthrough on the Venezuelan arms market," the ministry said in a statement, Itar-Tass reported.
Rosoboronexport and Sukhoi denied any wrongdoing on Saturday.
"We haven't shipped any products to that country in the last eight to 10 years," Vadim Razumovsky, spokesman for Sukhoi said Saturday in televised remarks.
Rosoboronexport chief Sergei Chemezov said his company had acted in full accordance with international law.
"Many foreign companies, including those from NATO member states, have conducted similar deals," Chemezov told Channel One television.
Rosoboronexport, in a statement carried by Interfax late Friday, said the sanctions could harm efforts to combat illegal weapons production across the globe, including in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Kalashnikov rifles have been produced without license in many parts of the world for decades.
Rosoboronexport called the sanctions "an unfriendly act toward the Russian state and an attempt to destabilize Russia military and technical cooperation with other nations."
It was unclear from the Foreign Ministry's statement whether Russia saw a link between the sanctions and trade disagreements with Washington involving the two blacklisted companies and other deals.
This year, Gazprom has repeatedly delayed the announcement of foreign partners for the Shtokman Arctic gas fields. Two U.S. oil and gas majors, Chevron and ConocoPhillips, have been seeking to participate in the multibillion-dollar project, which is designed to produce liquefied natural gas and sell it primarily on the U.S. market.
Another major deal under consideration is Boeing's bid to supply $3 billion-worth of planes to Aeroflot.
Sukhoi is working on a project with Boeing to design a 100-seater regional airliner, while Boeing is eager to secure imports of titanium, a metal used in the aerospace industry, from Russia.
Rosoboronexport has been widely seen as planning to acquire VSMPO-Avisma, the world's largest producer of titanium.
The state arms dealer also controls AvtoVAZ, the country's biggest carmaker, which has a joint venture with U.S. auto giant General Motors.

Saab stops Venezuela arms sales

By Greg Morsbach
BBC News, Caracas

Sweden's biggest defence manufacturer, the Saab Group, says it will no longer provide weapons to Venezuela.
Saab says it cannot continue sales of anti-aircraft and anti-tank devices to Venezuela because of a US arms embargo against President Chavez's government.
Saab subsidiary Bofors has supplied Venezuela's armed forces for 20 years.
Under the terms of the American restrictions, no factory in the world may sell weapons to Venezuela that contain components made in the US.
Bofors will cut its commercial ties to Venezuela on 1 October, complying with the strict embargo put in place by Washington back in May.
The Swedes have in the past sold anti-aircraft missiles, rocket launchers and anti-tank rifles to Venezuela worth around $150m (£80m).
There are no new arms contracts in the pipeline at the moment. But President Chavez will soon need to replenish his stocks of ammunition and missiles.
Other doors
The US embassy in Sweden said it was pleased Saab was complying with American legislation that prohibited the sale of arms to countries which did not comply fully with US anti-terrorism efforts.
The authorities here in Caracas said they were surprised by the news.
"We haven't been notified officially by Bofors but we're taking this matter very seriously," Defence Minister Raul Isaias Baduel said in a BBC interview.
"I can assure you we'll be looking into this and I'll be formulating a response together with President Hugo Chavez."
A member of the military high command told the BBC they were studying the possibility of signing arms deals with Switzerland.
He said it was a shame the door to Sweden had been closed but he was sure that others would open soon.
Caracas has recently been purchasing arms from alternative sources, such as Russia, where none of the weapons contain American components.

U.S. Sanctions on Russia Could Hurt Boeing: Reports

By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, MOSCOW


U.S. sanctions against two Russian arms firms could hurt U.S. jetmaker Boeing’s chances of winning a major contract with Russian flagship carrier Aeroflot, Russian newspapers said on Aug. 7.
”It’s quite possible that preference will now be given to the Europeans — the Airbus company... The Americans’ lost profits, according to our experts, could be more than $1 billion,” the Vremya Novostei daily said.
Aeroflot is set to announce the results of a tender for the purchase around 22 jets in the coming days, Russian newspapers said, adding that Airbus was now the favored choice.
”The termination of the deal with Boeing would mean that the Kremlin has given the go-ahead to further confrontation with the United States,” Kommersant said.
Washington said Aug. 4 that planemaker Sukhoi and arms export monopoly Rosoboronexport were subject to sanctions for providing Iran with equipment that could be used to develop missile systems or weapons of mass destruction.
In an article entitled “Boeing Cut Off From Russia,” the Vedomosti business daily warned the sanctions also hit Boeing’s business with Russian titanium maker VSMPO-Avisma.
Rosoboronexport, a growing industrial conglomerate headed up by a close associate of President Vladimir Putin, is planning to take a controlling stake in VSMPO-Avisma.
”It’s impossible to find alternatives to Russian supplies” of titanium, Vedomosti cited Konstantin Makienko, an analyst from the Moscow-based center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, as saying.
Kommersant warned that the sanctions could also hamper a bid by U.S. energy majors Chevron and ConocoPhillips to win a contract for the massive Shtokman gas field project off northwest Russia.

Saab Story: No More Arms Sales to Venezuela

A BBC report notes that the Saab Group will no longer sell weapons to Venezuela as of October 1, 2006. This is being done in compliance with American restrictions on the transfer of weapons to Venezuela that contain components made in the US... and implicitly, by companies that wish to continue to sell to the US military. The US Marines are a significant customer for Saab's anti-tank rockets, which it has also sold to Venezuela in the past. The Venezuelan government is said to have been surprised by the news.
The BBC reports that he Swedes have sold anti-aircraft missiles (the RBS-70), rocket launchers and anti-tank rifles to Venezuela worth around $150 million, and notes that while no new orders were pending, age and usage will require replacement of Venezuela's stocks shortly. Both roles could certainly be filled by roughly equivalent Russian weapons like the RPG-27 and AT-14 Kornet in the anti-tank role, and by the SA-18 in the anti-aircraft role; though in the latter role especially, vehicle-mounted options like the Tunguska M1, the Tor/SA-15 and Pantsyr S1/SA-19 systems are also possible.

MoD da Arábia Saudita confirma compra de 72 Typhoons:

Saudi signs $11bn deal to buy 72 Typhoon jets
Posted: Friday, August 18, 2006

Riyadh

Saudi Arabia and Britain signed an agreement on Thursday for the Gulf kingdom’s purchase of 72 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft in a deal analysts have said could be worth more than 6 billion pounds ($11.4 billion).

A Saudi Defence Ministry statement, carried by the official SPA news agency, said 'the agreement was signed ... for the purchase of 72 Typhoon aircraft.'

The brief statement, which did not give the value of the deal, said it also included a defence technology transfer.

Sources close to the negotiations had said a deal signed in December was believed to have an option of up to 72 aircraft.

The purchase is being carried out to replace British-made Tornados and other jets with the Typhoons.

The multinational Eurofighter consortium that makes Typhoon jets includes British defence contractor BAE Systems, European aerospace group EADS and Italy's Finmeccanica.

BAE is expected to invest in local training for thousands of Saudi nationals. Saudi Arabia has a long history of buying arms from Britain dating back to the 1960s, and usually pays in oil.

Meanwhile, a Financial Times report said the deal could be worth 10 billion pounds ($18.8 billion) and could more than double in value over the next 25 years if BAE Systems, Britain's biggest defence manufacturer, maintains and upgrades the jets.

The Eurofighters themselves will cost 5.4 billion pounds, with an extra five billion pounds for on-board missiles, various other parts, and initial support.

BAE might handle the maintenance and upgrading of the fighter jets, but the newspaper reported that Saudi Arabia is keen for local companies to do the work.

The Saudi Finance Ministry is authorising the initial payment on the agreement, which could come as early as next week. Upon receiving the payment, BAE would have to make an announcement to the London Stock Exchange.
