[Argentina] Call to Russia

[Naio90]

"What about the S-300V4 or the S-300PS?"

 

[Andy]

“Sadly not. Only the original S-300”

 

[Naio90]

"Mhh, in that case we have to pass, sadly. The S-300 you are offering does not match our standards, its a shame because we were considering a large order of them."

 

[Andy]

"Like I said previously, unlike our predecessors we care about the integrity of the equipment used by our armed forces."

 

[Naio90]

"I understand. Should this policy be modified, please let us know, as we would maintain the interest."

 

[Andy]

“This policy won’t be modified we sell a selected amount of equipment to the community”

 

[Naio90]

"Well, that's too bad. We will have to look for other alternatives on the market or continue to develop our own capabilities. We had good results in the past.

Well, commercially speaking I think we covered everything. We will submit the corresponding forms for the trade we arranged. Is there anything else you might want to discuss?"

 

[Andy]

"I believe everything has been discussed"

 

[Naio90]

"Ah, yes, before I forget. We are interested in sending some of our engineers over to Russia for them to learn to be able to give proper maintenance to the russian equipment Argentina currently operates. Would that be possible?"

 

[Andy]

"For a fee to be trained yes, how many personnel? What equipment? So I can work out a price"

 

[Naio90]

"30 engineers from the Argentina Air Force and Navy. They would be trained in mantainance tasks and controls, including copies Of the handbooks and manuals from the constructors in order to be able to perform the work themselves.

For the following products:

- Su-30MKI
- MiG-35
- Mil-Mi 17
- Ka-27
- Yak-130
- Tu-214R
- MiG-29K
- Tu-22M3M
- Ilyushin IL-78M
- Sukhoi 100 Superjet

-Gorshkov-Class Frigate
-Stereguschy-Class Frigate
-Gremyashchiy-Class Frigate
-Arktica-Class Icebreaker
-Berenzina-Class Replenishment Ship
-Sierra II-Class Submarine

-S-300PMU2

 

[Andy]

“The cost will be a total of $4,500,000,000.00 due to the nature of the equipment. Sadly we cannot give out the hand book and maintence training for the S-300PMU2 however we will maintain the equipment ourselves to a high standard for a fee of $500,000,000.00 every two years”

 

[Naio90]

"We unserstand your concerns and agree to the terms. However, costs seem to be very steep. Could we make a counteroffer Of 3.5bn?"

 

[Andy]

“Certainly so in total that would be $4,000,000,000.00”

 

[Naio90]

"Thank you. Can we pay in two monthly installments of 2bn each?"

 

[Andy]

“Certainly”

 

[Naio90]

"This would be the agreement then."

The following Document would be faxed to the russians over a secure and encrypted line.
