Russia has signed a deal with Libya to provide nearly $2 billion in arms to the North African nation, Russian state media reported Saturday.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that the agreement was sealed on Friday during a visit of Libyan Defense Minister Abu Bakr Yunis Jaber, the BBC reported.
"Yesterday a contract worth ($1.8 billion) was signed," Putin announced while meeting with the director of Izhmash, the manufacturer of the Kalashnikov assault rifle. "These are not just small arms."
Rosoboronexport, Russia's government-run arms export agency, previously said it had signed five military contracts with Libya that included "military equipment for its ground forces and the navy."
