"The World Defense Show is being held for the second time and it has already become a key event for the global defense industry. Compared to 2022, the scale of the Russian exhibit has doubled and ROSOBORONEXPORT is represented at all possible venues of the exhibition. In the outdoor display area, the company will show the ZA-SpN Titan and Spartak armored motor vehicles, UAVs of the Orlan family. The IL–76MD-90A(E) military transport aircraft will be on display at the airfield, while the latest products for the Air Force, Ground Forces, Navy and air defense systems will be exhibited in a pavilion," - said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of ROSOBORONEXPORT. "We see a great interest among representatives of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies of Saudi Arabia and other countries of the Middle East in the latest battle-tested Russian defense products. We are ready to offer our partners unique formats of cooperation, including localization of the production of Russian weapons and joint development of advanced models."
