Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) is satisfied with the domestically produced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) it is using, a UAV maker said on Friday.
Vega CEO Vladimir Verba said the FSB was "quite happy with the quality of our equipment".
"The FSB is giving us new orders and we are cooperating successfully".
He offered no indication as to how many UAVs had been bought or ordered.
Verba did not rule out that the Russian Defense Ministry could buy UAVs abroad.
"There is nothing terrible about that," he said.
Verba said earlier on Friday his company would be able to produce UAVs able to compete with those produced abroad by 2013.
Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said on Thursday Russia would team up with foreign firms to manufacture UAVs on its soil.
