More than 280 models of weaponry and military equipment are being displayed by Russia’s Rostec at Africa Aerospace & Defence 2018 (AAD 2018) underway at Waterkloof Centurion Air Force Base in Pretoria, South Africa.

 

The Russian military exposition features helicopter and armoured vehicles, air defence equipment, patrol boats, small arms, as well as equipment for special units and border protection forces being displayed over more than 350 square meters.

 

“In recent years the volume of the arms market in African countries has demonstrated a steady growth, which creates premises for expanding our presence in the region and bringing our military products to new markets. Moreover, we offer a flexible, integrated approach, which is not limited to the supply of weapons, but can also include after-sales services, training of specialists, logistics solutions, opportunities for localization of productions,” said Victor Kladov, Director for International Cooperation and Regional Policy at Rostec.
