There are plans to complete deliveries of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) under the 2010 contract the next year, TASS  quotes a military source as saying.

“The deliveries are to be completed in 2018,” he said in response to a question.

Moscow and Baku agreed on the delivery of large batches of weapons and equipment in 2010.

According to TASS, the issue concerns three T-90C tank battalions, self-propelled artillery, multiple rocket launchers and heavy flame thrower systems, according to mass media reports. Azerbaijan also bought maintenance-recovery and engineer vehicles. All contracts cost up to $1 bln, experts say.
