[Weird Russia] Military barter, cont'd

Another example, with Malaysia:

"...Russian agencies were reported to be practically tripping over one another in Kuala Lumpur, each seeking to be the 'lead agency' entitled to a sales commission. (...)

By the time Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Soskovets concluded the deal in June 1994, it was only 18 MiG-29s at a price of $775 million, part of which Russia accepted in palm oil."
