Rosoboronexport To Showcase Russian Counter-UAV Equipment At Dubai Airshow 2019

At Dubai Airshow 2019 Rosoboronexport (Part of the Rostec State Corporation) will present the latest Russian systems for combating unmanned aerial vehicles and other air attack weapons.

"The widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) presents new security challenges. Rostec enterprises produce a wide range of modern hard- and soft-kill counter-drone systems. The hard-kill systems include effective air defense systems, such as the Pantsir family of anti-aircraft missile/gun systems, the Sosna SAM system, the Igla, and Verba man-portable air defense missile systems, etc. The soft-kill systems encompass electronic warfare (EW) systems capable of countering individual UAVs as well as providing comprehensive protection for transport hubs, industrial, military and other critical facilities. Among them are the Sapsan-Bekas, Ataka-DBS, and Solyaris-N, Paschal-PRO, Taran-PRO, and other systems," said Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov.

Today, the Middle East arms market is essential to the Russian defense industry. The countries of this region traditionally equip their armies with the most advanced types of weapons and military equipment, paying great attention to Russian systems, including those that are in use in Iraq, Syria.
