This conditional agreement is a first step ANALYSIS arms deal. Sergey Chemezov, general director of also towards a Saudi local defense industry. Russian state-owned corporation Rostec, stated to Moscow is currently assessing its options with the media that the deal will be finalized during regards to the Saudi proposal. A possible option, Saudi King Salman’s next visit to Russia, which is as Chemezov said, would be that Russia will set up expected before the end of 2017.

Moscow didn’t want to comply to the latter, as also is shown by C-300 deliveries to Iran. However, the discussions continued, as Saudi Arabia, even that it is still largely relying on Western (US-UK) arms technology and products, wants to diversify its arms contracts. Russia is the world’s second largest weapons exporter with total sales exceeding $15 billion annually.

The latter message was given by Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, who openly reiterated that Russia’s energy cooperation with Saudi Arabia was "top-flight", but would deepen further if Riyadh took up an offer to participate in Russia's Arctic gas project. Since 2016, Moscow and Riyadh are showing an increased willingness to cooperate globally, as has been shown in the OPEC – Non-OPEC oil production cut agreement.
