He said contracts with international companies hit 1.05 billion dollars while contracts with local ones reached 300.8 million dollars.
The agreements included a contract with U.S. Raytheon to purchase Patriot missiles for the air defense forces and another with Russia's JSC Rosoboronexport to purchase Pantsir-ME shipborne air-defense system.
