Russia to provide military assistance to Lebanon
Russia will provide the Lebanese army with free helicopters, tanks and munitions in a deal that will boost the country's poorly equipped military, Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri told Vremya Novostei newspaper.
Saad Hariri said the Russian aid includes six helicopters, 31 tanks, 130 mm caliber cannon shells and about half a million different munitions for medium sized weapons and artillery shells.
