Russian Rosobornoexport will be showcasing its military aircraft, including Mi-28NE attack helicopter at the international weapons show Africa Aerospace and Defence-2016 to be held from September 14-18 in South Africa.
The Rosobonoronexport’s equipment display also includes Yak-130 combat trainer, IL-76MD-90A military transport aircraft, and Mi-35M versatile helicopter gunship with troop carrying capabilities. The Project 636 big diesel-electric submarine and BTR-82A APC will be of equal interest, the company announced Tuesday.
The company’s display will combine products of Russia’s 14 major manufacturers, covering almost the entire range of military equipment.
