reference news reported on september 5according to a report on the website of russia today tv on september 4, the 2024 egypt international air show has opened. the russian defense products export corporation announced that russia will showcase the achievements of its military-industrial complex at the air show.
"rosoboronexport is showcasing the combat-tested achievements of the russian defense industry in the field of aircraft, air defense systems and drones at the egypt international air show 2024," the announcement said.
at the air show, russia will not only allow guests to visit the seahawk-10e and seahawk-30 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the rb-504p-e drone suppression system, the viking and tor-m2e air defense systems and the willow portable air defense missile system, but will also demonstrate the ability of the pantsir-s1m air defense system to protect targets from various air attack weapons.
analysts believe that among the weapons on display, russia's latest tkb-1055 short-range interceptor missile developed for the "armor" air defense system is particularly eye-catching. it was specially developed by russia to destroy small drones.
experts believe that in the context of the large-scale use of small drones in modern combat operations, tkb-1055 will be greatly welcomed by the armed forces of various countries.
"there is no doubt that (the army) needs this missile," said military expert and retired colonel viktor litovkin. "today, drones are increasingly used on the battlefield. to deal with them, you need to use a variety of means, including short-range missiles."
the russian defense products export company also brought a ka-52 attack helicopter equipped with the export version of the "product 305" light multi-purpose missile to egypt.
according to the developers, the missile has a range of 14.5 kilometers, and a russian helicopter carrying it can hit the target without entering the contact area with the enemy.
in addition to the ka-52, the missile can also be used by the mi-28n attack helicopter. according to red star tv, the missile can also be launched from some improved models of the mi-8 multi-purpose helicopter.
military expert alexander shirokola said: "the ka-52 has been put into service since february 2022. they are equipped with powerful weapons and electronic warfare equipment and are a very effective and quite safe type of helicopter. the 'product 305' can hit armored equipment and fortifications and is a missile with a wide range of uses."
rosoboronexport said it also brought the kh-69 multi-purpose stealth high-precision cruise missile to the egypt air show. the kh-69 can be placed in the aircraft's bomb bay or mounted on an external hardpoint.
the company said the kh-69 is a new generation product featuring a longer range than its predecessors and is designed to effectively kill a variety of fixed targets, including those that have no contrast with the surrounding background in radar, infrared and optical imaging.
"the missile's low-altitude flight path for attacking targets can be set in the missile's flight mission planning. one or more flight mission programs can be written into the missile's control system, thereby ensuring that different targets are assigned to multiple missiles before the missiles are launched," rosoboronexport said.
in addition, russia will also display a model of the su-57e fighter. (compiled by liu yang)
