ROSOBORONEXPORT JSC (part of Rostec State Corporation) will be organising Russia’s single exhibit at the Egypt Defence Expo (EDEX) 2025, which will be held from December 1 to 4 in Cairo. The Company will showcase the most in-demand Russian products in Africa for the Air Force, Air Defence, Land Forces, and Navy, as well as security equipment.
“EDEX 2025 occupies a special place in ROSOBORONEXPORT’s exhibition campaign. This year we celebrate a significant event − the 70th anniversary of military-technical cooperation between Russia and Egypt. Our countries have developed strategic partnership relations based on mutual respect, trust and shared interests. Today ROSOBORONEXPORT offers Egypt not just weapons, but comprehensive solutions for national security, including for the development of the country’s Defence industry through technology cooperation projects,” – said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of ROSOBORONEXPORT.
The EDEX exhibition is held under the patronage of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces. ROSOBORONEXPORT, which has participated in all previous forums, traditionally showcases the most advanced battle-proven Russian weapons.
For the Air Force, ROSOBORONEXPORT will showcase the Su-57E multirole fighter at its booth – the world’s only fifth-generation aircraft that has the experience of combat employment in today’s dense air defence environment. The special aviation segment will feature the IL-78MK-90A tanker, which can be quickly converted into transport, ambulance and firefighting versions, as well as even in a “flying hospital”. The Ka-52 reconnaissance/attack helicopter, which will be on display, is equipped with a defensive aids suite and a unique crew ejection system. It is armed with advanced air-to-air weapons, including extended-range precision-guided weapons.
In the air defence segment, the Company will showcase the S-350E Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system, which has demonstrated its high capabilities to engage a wide range of aerial targets in real combat conditions, including in fully automatic mode. The Verba MANPADS is the world’s only man-portable air defence system equipped with a three-spectrum target seeker. It boasts high jamming immunity and enhanced capabilities against aerial targets having a low infrared signature.
A wide range of long-, medium-, and short-range air defence systems will also be on display at the Almaz-Antey Air and Space Defence Concern booth.
ROSOBORONEXPORT will present Russian weapons for the Land Forces, developed or upgraded based on the experience of modern combat operations. These include the T-90MS MBT in a new configuration, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, Kornet-EM remote-controlled ATGM system and loitering munitions, including the upgraded Lancet-E.
Naval delegations at EDEX 2025 will be able to get acquainted with the Rubezh-ME coastal defence missile system.
ROSOBORONEXPORT is ready to discuss new cooperation projects regarding the products presented at the exhibition, including industrial collaboration in full compliance with current market trends. The Company will discuss expanding its partnership and implementing new projects with representatives of law enforcement agencies in Egypt and other countries in the region.
