The international military-technical exhibition IDEX in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) opened on February 20 and will run until February 24. From Russia, dozens of companies and organizations are taking part, bringing more than 200 samples and exhibits.
In total, more than 1,300 companies from 65 countries of the world are taking part this year. Tens of thousands of visitors from different countries are expected.
Among the combined exposition of Russia, the organizers of the exhibition allocated a separate pavilion, which turned out to be the most visited. This is due to how well the Russian weapons showed themselves during the special operation to protect Russian territories from the aggression of the Ukrainian Nazis.
The exhibition showed the AU-220M combat module with a 57 mm automatic cannon, the Ka-226T multipurpose helicopter, modern gun systems, anti-missile defense systems and much more.
Russian companies also provide representatives of other countries with cooperation in developing new products and establishing joint ventures, which is of particular interest to visitors to the exhibition. Especially from the countries of the Middle East.
For the first time at IDEX abroad, a missile control unit of the Tornado-S multiple launch missile system was presented, which increases the accuracy of attacks by 15-20 times, regardless of the firing range.
New optical instruments, surveillance systems, small magnification prismatic sights PP1 and PP3, small reconnaissance and signaling complex 1K144-E are also exhibited. Not without the T-90MS tank, loved by the military of a number of countries, as well as the Sprut-SDM1 light floating self-propelled gun, the TOS-1 flamethrower system, the BMPT Terminator tank support vehicle, and so on.
The extensive and largest Russian exhibit at the exhibition showed that Western sanctions could not in any way affect the defense capacity of our country. In addition, the defense complex is ready to trade its products and is still open to cooperation with friendly countries.
