The summer exhibition period 2021 has demonstrated strong demand for Russian weapons
and military equipment. At the [ARMY-2021Military-Technical Forum](https://www.military.africa/2021/09/army-2021-rosoboronexport-signs-export-contracts-worth-over-e3-billion/military.africa/tag/army-2021),
MAKS-2021 Air Show and IMDS-2021 Maritime Defense Show, Rosoboronexport (part of
the Rostec State Corporation) held negotiations with foreign partners and signed
over 30 contract documents worth over 3 billion euros.

Rosoboronexport has leveraged the full potential of Russian summer defense exhibitions,
thereby replenishing its order portfolio and increasing the workload of the domestic
defense enterprises: the export plan now includes [Su-30-type](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/aerospace-systems/fighters/su-30sme/)
aircraft, [Mi-35M/P](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/aerospace-systems/helicopters/), 
[Mi-171Sh](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/aerospace-systems/helicopters/mi-171sh/) and

Protivnik-GE radar, Krasukha electronic warfare system, Repellent-Patrol mobile 
anti-drone EW system, [Kornet-EM ATGM system](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/land-forces/missile-systems-multiple-rocket-launchers-mrl-atgm-systems-and-field-artillery-guns/kornet-em/),

small arms, ammunition. An agreement was reached on integrating Russia’s Palma shipborne
gun/missile close-in weapon system (CIWS) into a ship’s foreign-made weapons system.

“Russia’s successes in military-technical cooperation prove that the domestic industry
is capable of developing new unique products and solutions that are in demand in
the market. At the same time, a qualitative renewal of the plants and design bureaus’
fixed assets, their timely retrofitting and upgrading at the expense of funds received
from the implementation of state defense orders and export contracts, launches the
processes of positive transformation of infrastructure in regions, from household
facilities to science schools, technology parks and experimental laboratories accessible
to youth,” said Alexander Mikheev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Engineering Union(
REU), Director General of Rosoboronexport.

Among new Russian products presented at Russian exhibitions this summer, foreign
partners paid special attention to the T-14 Armata tank, combat vehicles based on
the Boomerang platform, [Orion-E reconnaissance/strike UAV](https://www.military.africa/2021/09/army-2021-rosoboronexport-signs-export-contracts-worth-over-e3-billion/military.africa/2021/08/orion-e-attack-drone-premiere-at-maks-2021),
Antey-4000 battlefield air defense missile system, [Pantsir-S1M SPAAGM system](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/air-defence-systems/air-defense-systems-and-mounts/%22Pantsir-S1%22/),

fighter, [BMP-3](http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/land-forces/armored-combat-vehicles/BMP3/)
with the Berezhok combat module, other equipment. More than 80% of Rosoboronexport’s
annual deliveries fall on products manufactured at REU’s enterprises: Rostec’s holding
companies, including Russian Helicopters, High-Precision Systems, United Aircraft

“The enterprises associated in the Russian Engineering Union are a strong growth
driver of the Russian economy, which greatly contributes to the development of military-
technical cooperation: their high-tech products are heavily exploited by partners
from more than 100 countries, in the most challenging climatic and combat conditions,”
said Alexander Mikheev.

Systemic cooperation with REU enterprises is carried out in all regions of the country,
enabling Rosoboronexport to continuously replenish its “library of offset projects”
aimed to promptly engage domestic enterprises in drawing up tender bids for foreign
buyers.

Today, Rosoboronexport’s portfolio of export orders exceeds $52 billion.
