"While

production of small-caliber ammunition.
Ukraine has
been actively developing military and technical cooperation with Thailand and
hopes for the successful promotion of its armored vehicles on the Asian arms
market.
As reported,
the amount of contracts for the supply to Thailand of armed vehicles,
particularly Oplot main battle tanks and BTR-3E1 armored personnel carriers,
which were signed in 2006-2011 and are currently being implemented, exceeds
$500 million.
Ukraine will
demonstrate at the EUROSATORY-2012 exhibition its best armored vehicles and
highly-accurate ground-mounted weapon systems. The prototypes of BTR-4 armored
personnel carriers, the Oplot tank, the Skif portable antitank guided missile
launcher, and the Adros station for optical-electronic suppression will be
presented on Ukraine's stand at the exhibition.
Visitors of
the exhibition will also have an opportunity to examine one-fifteenth scale
models of MT-LBR6 and BTR-3E1 armored personnel carriers, and Manhust radio
location set for reconnaissance of ground-based, over-water, and low-flying
targets.
