Chavez Expected To Buy Russia's Old Military Junk

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is visiting Russia, where he is expected to sign deals to buy new fighter jets and helicopters.

He will visit Volgograd - formerly Stalingrad - on Tuesday, and later the Urals town of Izhevsk, where Kalashnikov assault rifles are made.

"New" as in new to him. Not new as in modern, new. SU-30's, and AK-103's. A billion bucks worth. Damn, but the Russkies sure swindled this poor frig.
