In addition, the models of the Typhoon-K and Typhoon-VDV mine-protected wheeled armored vehicles, the Kupol (Dome) electronic warfare system for countering small-sized drones will be demonstrated at the Rosoboronexport stand.

As part of the exhibition’s business program, Rosoboronexport has scheduled to hold numerous talks with representatives of the military and political leadership and the business community of Saudi Arabia, as well as the Middle East and North Africa countries. During the meetings, it is planned to discuss the further development of bilateral military-technical cooperation and joint industrial partnership projects.
