The IDEX-2025 military exhibition held in Abu Dhabi showcased Russia’s latest advancements in weaponry and military technology, emphasizing modern combat realities. Led by First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, the Russian delegation highlighted products from leading defense enterprises within the Almaz-Antey Concern and Rostec State Corporation. Key offerings included a range of aircraft, helicopters, air defense systems, armored vehicles, drones, and small arms, reflecting a comprehensive approach to military modernization based on operational experience. Notably, the focus was on short-range air defense systems, particularly the Tor family, which demonstrated capabilities to counter a variety of aerial threats, including Western-made assets, in complex environments. The significant interest from Middle Eastern and North African states—accounting for nearly 50% of Rosoboronexport’s order portfolio—underscores Russia’s strategic positioning in these emerging markets and highlights the ongoing collaboration on military production and advanced weapon systems.
