"The Russian section will widely represent various models of armaments and military equipment of air defense systems - from portable Igla to the S-300 long-range systems," the Rosoboronexport press service reported on Monday.
Experts and guests of the exhibition will have a chance to get acquainted in particular with the capabilities of the S-300VM Antei-2500 missile system - the only universal system in the world of the anti-missile defense and air defense, capable of effective engagement of both ballistic missiles with launching ranges of up to 2500 km and all types of aerodynamic and aero-ballistic targets, as well as the latest S-300 PMU2 Favorit SAM system.
Visitors will get detailed information on such middle and low-range air defense missile systems as Buk М1-2 and Тоr-М1, Pechora-2, Tunguska-М1, and Osa-AKM, as well as the Igla portable air defense missile system.
Foreign customers may also be interested in the Zoopark missile and artillery locating radar system, Fara-1 portable guidance and surveillance radar system, Credo-1 unified ground moving target surveillance radar and Gazetchik-E system to be used to protect radar systems against homing rockets.
Naval military equipment and armaments will also occupy one of the central places at the Russian exposition. Foreign customers will be offered small submarines, operating in swallow waters, such as Pirania, Pirania-Т, and Pirania-2, Korsar patrol ship of Project 11541, and Mirazh, Merkury and Mangust patrol boats. We believe that landing air-cushion boats such as Murena-E and Chilim might spur interest among visitors.
Alongside with combat ships, the Russian exposition will also offer a wide range of various systems of armament, most of which have no analogues abroad. These are the Uran-E ship-borne missile system with the KH-35E anti-ship missiles, ship-borne missile system with the Yakhont anti-ship wing missiles, ship-borne air defence systems like Rif-М, Shtil and Klinok and other missile, ammunition, torpedo and mine armaments.
