Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec State Corporation) will take part for the first time in Gulf Defence & Aerospace 2015, an international exhibition of arms and military equipment to be held from 8 to 10 December in Kuwait City (Kuwait).

“Rosoboronexport seeks to intensify cooperation with the Gulf countries, which are interested in strengthening their armed forces. Russia has deservedly earned recognition as a reliable and independent partner while Russian weapons have proven their effectiveness and reliability in challenging combat and climatic conditions. The participation in the exhibition in Kuwait is another step to strengthen our position in the region,” said Rosoboronexport Deputy Director General Sergey Goreslavsky, who heads the Company’s delegation at the exhibition. The Gulf states are showing interest in Russia’s army, air force and air defense weaponry. In addition, Rosoboronexport promotes naval equipment here such as patrol boats, frigates, and coastal missile systems.
