Russia Delivers Military Equipment to Madagascar, Will Provide Training, Says Malagasy Presidency
A Russian delegation delivered a shipment of military equipment to the Madagascan army, with Russian specialists set to provide training on its use in the near future, the Madagascan presidency announced.
The training will involve army units stationed near the capital, Antananarivo.
Russian-made weaponry, including Kalashnikov rifles supplied during the Soviet era, is already the most common type of firearm in the country, the presidency said.
This delivery follows a statement in early December by Interim President Michael Randrianirina, who affirmed that the state is open to cooperation with Russia.
