"I am very happy to see that our countries enjoy close cooperation in the military-technical field as they approach the 70th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations. In 2016 Rosoboronexport recorded an increase in the volume of India’s orders compared to the previous year. Moreover, this year we expect to see further growth of our stock of orders”, - Sergey Goreslavsky said.
The Russian display is located in Hall A and occupies 940 square meters. More than 300 pieces of state-of-the-art Russian military equipment will be presented to the customers from the Asia-Pacific Region at Aero India 2017.
