The airshow will be held in the period from November 12 to November 17 on the territory of the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition Center in the city of Zhuhai, China.

"Airshow China is one of the biggest events for civil and military aircraft manufacturers worldwide. It was held for the first time in 1996 and Russia took part in all the airshows. For ROSOBORONEXPORT Airshow China is a hallmark event. The Russian special exporter, established on November 4, 2000, began its exhibition activities in Zhuhai exactly,"- said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of ROSOBORONEXPORT. - "The Russian exposition at Airshow China in 2024 organized by ROSOBORONEXPORT features a wide range of weapons and military equipment on display. For the first time the 5th generation fighter Su-57E will take part in the flying program abroad, state-of-the-art guided missiles and aerial bombs will be presented, as well as advanced weaponry of the Ka-52E helicopter, the best reconnaissance and strike helicopter in its class."

At the Airshow China 2024 ROSOBORONEXPORT will continue the promotion of a unique project related to forming units of airborne troops within the structure of the armed forces of foreign partners.
