“Egypt is Russia’s most important strategic partner. Military-technical cooperation
between our countries has a long history and evolves continuously in line with global
market trends. At the
El Alamein International Airshow 2026, ROSOBORONEXPORT has
prepared an exhibit featuring the most advanced combat-proven Russian products for
Egypt, Africa and the Middle East. We are showcasing the latest aircraft and their
weapons, air defence systems, including counter-UAV solutions, loitering munitions
and drones. A number of these products are completely new, shown for the first time
anywhere in the world,” – **said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of ROSOBORONEXPORT**.

At the open static exposition of the El Alamein International Airshow 2026, ROSOBORONEXPORT
will be showcasing its fifth-generation fighter jet, the Su-57E, armed with a variety
of air-to-air guided missiles, including the RVV-MD2 short-range and the RVV-BD 
long-range missiles, the Kh-38MLE air-to-surface missile, the Kh-69 new-generation
stealthy, precision-guided cruise missile and the Kh-58UShKE anti-radar missile.
In addition, the presentation of the latest unmanned platforms, the S-71M and S-
71K, for launch from
5th-generation fighter jets, is expected during the exhibition.

The modernized Yak-130M combat trainer will also be on display, along with its air-
launched weapons. ROSOBORONEXPORT’s partners see it as a light combat aircraft thanks
to its onboard AESA radar, self-defence and reconnaissance capabilities and an expanded
range of guided air weapons.

Air defence systems are exhibited in the outdoor display area, as well as at the
stands of ROSOBORONEXPORT and the High-Precision Systems holding company (part of
Rostec).

The TKB-1167 air target engagement system is the absolute premiere of the Russian
exhibit. It is a weapon station equipped with four tank machine guns and designed
to autonomously and automatically detect, lock on, identify, track and destroy UAVs.
The ZAK-30 Citadel anti-aircraft artillery system, featuring a programmable shell
airburst system, is being showcased for the first time abroad.

The Pantsir-SMD-E SAM system and the Verba MANPADS are also on display at the exhibition.
These systems occupy leading positions in the short-range air defence segment thanks
to their excellent combat-proven performance in protecting military, administrative
and industrial facilities against UAVs, missiles, and other threats. The Airspace
Control System is offered as an air target detection facility.

ROSOBORONEXPORT expects increased attention to loitering munitions and UAV systems
that have proven their performance in real-world conditions. These include the Lancet-
E from ZALA, the Kub-10E, Kub-10ME and Kub-2E with the SKAT 350M reconnaissance 
UAV and the RUS-PE portable guided munition system from the world-renowned Kalashnikov
Group, as well as the S350M-E high-performance reconnaissance UAV.

ROSOBORONEXPORT’s foreign partners are showing great interest in Russian products
modernized based on combat experience. A modernized version of the Ka-52E reconnaissance/
attack helicopter will be on display at the El Alamein International Airshow 2026,
featuring the GOES-451M gyrostabilized EO system and the 305E light multipurpose
guided missile.

ROSOBORONEXPORT is prepared to hold talks with delegations from friendly countries
at the exhibition regarding the full range of weapons and military equipment on 
display. Furthermore, the Company has scheduled meetings with representatives of
the armed forces and industry from African and Middle Eastern countries to discuss
prospects for military-technical cooperation, including industrial partnership projects.
