at Lima 2011 press release
Russia presents a full range of combat aicraft and helicopters at Lima
2011 Aerospace Exhibition.
Rosoboronexport,
JSC is expected to put up a magnificent performance at LIMA 2011 exhibition
in Langkawi, Malaysia on December 6-10, bringing cutting edge Russian
weapons and materiel to the show.
The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace has
been held since 1991. Today it’s one of the most important arms
exhibitions in the region. With the role of Asian-Pacific countries
in international affairs growing dramatically over the past years, defense
and security issues rise high on their national agendas as far as sustainable
peace and development are concerned. Noteworthy, Russia played one of
the key parts in making LIMA really popular and influential.
"South-East Asia is a very important market for us, as it accounts
for a significant part of total sales by Rosoboronexport. Despite tight
rivalry, we plan to expand our cooperation with the countries in this
region. And not only in export of final products: we are discussing
opportunities to launch joint weapon development projects, organize
license production and establish maintenance and service centers here,”
said Rosoboronexport’s deputy Director General Viktor Komardin,
who led the company delegation at LIMA 2011.
Russia has good
interaction almost with all nations in the region, working closely with
traditional partners and those who have indicated their interest in
establishing defense technology ties with Russia for the first time,
e.g. Brunei, Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines.
Mi-28NE Russian
made combat helicopter
Russia’s
part of the exhibition devoted to aviation has traditionally been one
of the most remarkable at the LIMA show. This year Rosoboronexport opted
for a digital format of presentations, laying stakes on interactive capabilities
of modern multimedia technologies. For instance, performance of MiG-29M
multi-role fighter and Mi-28NE and Ka-52 attack helicopters will be demonstrated
in this manner: simulated 3D videos give a comprehensive picture of their
combat capabilities.
In addition, Su-30MKM
and MiG-29N fighters of the Malaysian Air Force will show their capabilities
during flying display. Sukhoi’s Su-30MK
fighters of various modifications are quite popular in the region. They
are in service with the armed forces of Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Malaysia
and China.
The
Indian local made light combat aircraft (LCA), Tejas LSP-7, made its
maiden flight on Friday, March 10, 2012. The Limited Series Production-7
aircraft took off from the HAL airport at 4.27 pm and flew for 28 minutes.
