"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is expected to finalize a deal on buying up to nine Russian submarines, a Russian newspaper reported on Thursday.
He has already ordered five 636-type diesel submarines and four of a new model of diesel submarine, the 677E Amur, the Kommersant broadsheet said, quoting unnamed sources in the ship-building and arms export sectors.
Since 2005 Caracas has spent 3.4 billion dollars (2.6 billion euros) on arms from Russia, including 24 fighter planes, 35 military helicopters, air defence systems and 100,000 kalashnikov rifles, the paper said."
All this and government control of the press. Another sequel we've seen before.
