The modernized Yak-130M combat trainer will also be on display, along with its air-launched weapons.
Rosoboronexport expects increased attention to loitering munitions and UAV systems that have proven their performance in real-world conditions. These include the Lancet-E from ZALA, the Kub-10E, Kub-10ME and Kub-2E with the SKAT 350M reconnaissance UAV and the RUS-PE portable guided munition system from the world-renowned Kalashnikov Group, as well as the S350M-E high-performance reconnaissance UAV.
The Pantsir-SMD-E SAM system and the Verba MANPADS will also be on display at the exhibition. These systems occupy leading positions in the short-range air defence segment thanks to their excellent combat-proven performance in protecting military, administrative and industrial facilities against UAVs, missiles, and other threats.
The TKB-1167, developed by Rostec’s High-Precision Systems holding company, is the air target engagement system is the absolute premiere of the Russian exhibit. It is a weapon station equipped with four tank machine guns and designed to autonomously and automatically detect, lock on, identify, track and destroy UAVs.
As the special issue of Russian Aviation & Military Guide for the El Alamein International Airshow adds, all processes in the system are fully automated. The operator only needs to make a decision and issue the command to engage the target. The command post conducts radar reconnaissance and provides target designation to the machine gun mounts equipped with optical electronic system. The mounts are controlled from automated workstations. The system is intended to protect infrastructure facilities from drones.
The ZAK-30 Citadel anti-aircraft artillery system, featuring a programmable shell airburst system, will be also showcased for the first time abroad.
