(2003-03-25) — The United States, in a goodwill gesture, has offered to outfit the Iraqi Republican Guard with all new Russian-made high-tech equipment.
“Russia’s track-record for excellence in high-tech manufacturing is legendary,” said an unnamed Pentagon spokesman. “That’s why you can hardly walk into an electronics store anywhere in the world without seeing shelves bulging with Russian-made electronic devices.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin denied the existence of any deal to provide such equipment to the Iraqis.
“We categorically reject the accusation that Russian factories produce high-quality electronics,” he said.
