Russian Military Trainers, Air Defence Systems Arrive In Niger In Bid To Boost Security Cooperation Military instructors and personnel from Russia's defence ministry arrived in Niger on April 11, Niger state television RTN reported. In a broadcast, RTN showed footage of a military cargo plane unloading gear as people in fatigues stood by. The deployment followed a recent agreement between Niger's junta and Russian President Vladimir Putin to boost security cooperation. The arrival of Russian trainers is a sign that the West African country is building closer relations with Moscow like its junta-led neighbours. RTN also said "our airspace will now be better protected," adding that Russia had agreed to install an anti-aircraft system in Niger.
