“We pin our greatest hopes in the Malaysian market on Sukhoi multi-role fighters, helicopters, air defenses and close assault weapons. Traditionally, the export potential of Russian weapons is very high here. Today, it has been further reinforced through the successful use of Russian hardware in large-scale counter-terror operations. When the customers need weapons not for parades, they come to us,” said Vladimir Ereschenko, Head of Rosoboronexport’s Regional Department, who leads the joint Rostec-Rosoboronexport delegation at the exhibition.

Rosoboronexport’s stand will provide information on Russian-made aviation and naval equipment (from patrol boats to shore-based missile systems), armored vehicles, close assault weapons, air defense systems, a variety of arms and training simulators. Foreign delegations are expected to take keen interest in the Mi-171Sh military transport helicopter, Mi-35M, Mi-28NE and Ka-52 attack helicopters, UAV systems, Pantsir-S1 air defense missile/gun system as well as the Metis-M1 ATGM system.T-90MS

During the exhibition Rosoboronexport will hold a presentation for Malaysian partners on the Mi-171Sh helicopter, T-90MS tank, BTR-82A APC, Pantsir-S1 air defense missile/gun system. These weapons fully meet the needs of the Malaysian Armed Forces and will significantly improve the combat capability of the army units.

Particular attention during the exhibition will be given to further improvement in after-sales service of Russian aircraft operational with the Malaysian Air Force and overhaul of Su-30MKM fighters.

Along with the prospects for supplying finished military products, Rosoboronexport is ready to discuss the projects for establishing joint and licensed production facilities in Malaysia.

Rosoboronexport is also considering DSA 2016 exhibition as a suitable platform for strengthening ties throughout the whole Asia-Pacific region. In particular, the scheduled meetings with military representatives of Vietnam, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and other countries will be held.
