Abstract: The article analyzes the most important and economically significant forms of military-technical cooperation (MTC) between Russia and the countries of Asia and the Middle East. It high-lights such features of regional ties in this area as the huge capacity of markets and the selective principle in choosing partners. Although the number of Russia’s partner countries is small (India,China, Vietnam, Algeria, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Syria, Iraq and others), cooperation with them is of a long-term nature. The activities to promote Russian weapons in the markets of countries, with which the MTC was not carried out or was sporadic, are under way. The article identifies the causes hindering the MTC development in the region, i.e. a small percentage of new weapons offered for sale, often not tested in the Russian army; electronics; underestimation of new cooperation forms.
