Bangladesh and Belarus to get Yak-130 in 2015

Russia will supply 14 Yakovlev Yak-130 advanced jet trainer aircraft to Bangladesh in 2015, with two more to follow next year.
Bangladesh had originally planned to acquire 24 such aircraft, but this was curtailed for financial reasons.
Bangladesh has become the second export customer for the Yak-130, after Algeria procured 16 aircraft in 2011.
Belarus too would receive four Yak-130s, following a contract that was signed in late 2012. Irkut is also negotiating with Armenia and Uzbekistan about YAK-130.

Russia sending advanced air defense systems to Kazakhstan

Russia is delivering S-300 advanced air defense systems to Kazakhstan.
Russia is trying to increase Russia's influence over former Soviet Union countries with a series of political, trade and security initiatives that aim to tighten cooperation among the states.
This move attempts to boost the capabilities of a post-Soviet security bloc, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), which combines Kazakhstan, Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
Five divisions of S-300 will be delivered from the surplus of the Russian Defence Ministry. A division is usually made up of 12 rocket systems.
Russia said last year it was sending four S-300 divisions to Belarus.
The CSTO has faced criticism for its lack of activity since its inception in 1992.
Uzbekistan signed the original CSTO treaty but said last year it was suspending its membership in the bloc.
Russia signed a contract with Syria in 2011 to send four S-300 units to the war-torn country. A military source said last year that some parts had likely been delivered but had not been sent in full.
