We will present a total of about 1,000 exhibits, with a number of weapon and military equipment models to be shown for the first time ever”, Sergey Chemezov, the CEO of Rostec, noted.

In particular, the unparalleled air-defence missile and artillery system Pantsir-ME will make its international debut. It will be presented by High-Precision Complexes Holding. The system is able to protect ships from all types of air attack weapons. Kalashnikov Concern will showcase a wide range of small arms and hunting weapons. The 200 series of Kalashnikov, certified for export, will be shown abroad for the first time. The “two hundredth” series assault rifles will be one of the key Russian novelties at IDEX 2019.
