A report sent to the UN Register of Conventional Arms says that Belarus supplied Sudan with two modernized versions of the BTR-70 armored personnel carrier, sold 10 122-milimeter D-30 howitzer guns to Armenia and nine Uragan multiple launch rocket systems to Eritrea.
The value of the contracts was not disclosed.
In 2006, Belarus shipped 41 T-72 tanks to Azerbaijan in its only arms trade deal that year.
In 2005, Belarus supplied Azerbaijan with 19 T-72 tanks, exported two Mi-8 helicopters to Slovakia and two Mi-24 choppers to Djibouti, the lowest amount of weapons sold by the country in a decade.
