Rosoboronexport Presents New Products at Aero India 2021

JSC Rosoboronexport (part of Rostec State Corporation) recently organised a joint display of Russian industrial enterprises at the Aero India 2021 international aerospace exhibition. The event was held at the Air Force Station in Yelahanka, Bengaluru, India, from February 3 to 5.

“Russia and India have been maintaining and building up mutually beneficial strategic partnership. Military and technical cooperation between our countries is expanding every year. It is very important for us to have such a strong and reliable partner on the global stage as India. Rosoboronexport is ready to cooperate with India in all areas. Currently, we are carrying out joint research works in more than 100 promising areas, including aviation, thus laying the groundwork for the future development of high-tech industries in both countries. We are implementing joint projects for all armed services with such a degree of cooperation between enterprises of the two countries, that is unique for the world market,” said Rosoboronexport’s Director General Alexander Mikheev.

Russia’s joint display incorporated exhibits of Rosoboronexport, JSC Shvabe and JSC Almaz-Antey Corporation. Delegations of the leading Russian aircraft, helicopters and engines manufacturing holdings – JSC United Aircraft Corporation, JSC Russian Helicopters and JSC United Engine Corporation – also participated at the exhibition.

At the show, the company demonstrated over 200 military products, including the models of 5th generation multi-role fighter Su-57E, multi-role manoeuvrable fighter Su-35, two-seat multi-role frontline fighter MiG-35D, military transport Il-76MD-90A(E), aerial refuelling tanker Il-78MK-90A, light multi-purpose helicopter Ka-226T and anti-aircraft missile and gun system Pantsir-S1.

Increased attention was given to Radar P-18-2 Prima, which is a newly-designed product of Russian defence industry, exhibited abroad for the first time ever. The radar is capable of effectively detecting present-day and future low-signature aerial targets, including the ones, produced with the use of stealth technologies.

Among the products of Russia’s aviation industry, profound interest in the Asia-Pacific Region was attracted by the modernised combat helicopter Mi-28NE, military transport helicopters Mi-171SH and Mi-17V-5, combat scout-attack helicopter Ka-52, radar surveillance Ka-31, complexes with unmanned aerial vehicles Orion-E and Orlan-10E, as well as by promising air-launched weapons.
