Rostec unveiled a new lineup of parachute systems at the Dubai Airshow 2023, highlighting a range of capabilities designed for specialized operations, cargo delivery, and training. The official statement outlined several key systems in the exhibitor’s portfolio and emphasized their role in modern airborne logistics and rapid deployment scenarios. The announcement reflects Rostec’s ongoing effort to showcase advanced aerospace and defense technologies to international partners and potential buyers at major aviation venues.
The lineup includes the Dalnolet, Berkut 2, and Tandem-400 parachute systems, alongside cargo delivery platforms. Each system serves a distinct purpose, from rapid insertion of select teams to the dependable handling of equipment and supplies in challenging environments. The showcased models are positioned as part of a broader strategy to enhance airborne mission flexibility for airborne forces and support units operating in diverse theaters of operation.
Dalnolet is designed to deliver a complete package for special forces, enabling the aerial insertion of personnel with their gear and weapons. The system is engineered to maximize operational reach, achieving a flight radius of up to 60 kilometers when deployed from an altitude of around 8 kilometers, with favorable tailwind conditions contributing to extended range. The design emphasizes stability, accuracy, and reliability to ensure a precise landing zone for elite detachments and critical equipment when time and terrain demand swift action.
The Berkut-2 parachute system offers the capability to attach a cargo container weighing as much as 50 kilograms to its suspension framework. This feature facilitates the safe, in-flight deployment of weapons, communications gear, and other essential equipment. By integrating cargo-carrying capacity with a dependable descent profile, Berkut-2 supports missions that require both mobility and operational tempo in austere or difficult-to-reach locations.
With Tandem-400, training jumps can be conducted for both experienced parachutists and novices, enabling a controlled progression from basic to advanced insertion techniques. The system supports realistic training scenarios while maintaining safety protocols and repeatable performance characteristics, which helps operators build proficiency in a variety of drop conditions and payload configurations.
The robotic system Junker-DG-250 is featured for its precision-guided cargo airdrop capabilities. Leveraging satellite navigation to coordinate descent, the unit can deliver payloads up to 250 kilograms with an accuracy of approximately 100 meters. This level of precision supports mission planning that integrates cargo drops with minimal fallout zones and enhanced targeting reliability, benefiting logistical operations across complex terrains.
During the event on November 13, Rostec noted growing international interest in Russia’s military equipment. The comments highlighted broadening demand for reliable, high-performance platforms designed to meet the needs of allied and partner nations seeking advanced aerospace and defense capabilities. The company stressed that international engagement remains a central element of its strategic outreach and technology demonstrations on global stages.
In related remarks, Rostec also underscored continued development of combat capabilities across its portfolio, including reference to the Su-57 fighter jet. The emphasis on modern air superiority platforms aligns with broader goals to advance next-generation aviation technology and to offer a comprehensive set of solutions for national security and defense partnerships across multiple regions.
