First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov, who leads the Russian delegation, visited the exhibit of domestic manufacturers at the Dubai Airshow 2025.
The total area of the Russian exhibit this year was almost 5,000 square meters. Major Russian companies from the aircraft manufacturing, space, and defense industries brought nearly 900 exhibits to Dubai. More than 30 of these were displayed in full-scale form at the static display area and in the Russian pavilion. Denis Manturov inspected the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter, which boasts real combat experience and is being showcased for the first time in the Middle East. Furthermore, the modernized Yak-130M combat trainer and the Ka-52 helicopter, equipped with the Kh-MD multipurpose homing missile for engaging ground and surface targets, made their world debuts.
"Today, I asked our Su-57 chief pilot how effectively artificial intelligence is used in pilot work. This is especially true when we're talking about a fifth-generation aircraft. It's one of the best aircraft in the world. It has proven itself in combat and is participating in special military operations. Artificial intelligence is now an integral part of pilot decision-making, especially when working in a group. It's impossible for one person to simultaneously make decisions and control both the aircraft and the weapons themselves. Therefore, artificial intelligence actively participates in the pilot's work," said Denis Manturov.
Key engine-building exhibits include the modern, next-generation "Product 177S" turbojet engine with improved technical characteristics, the state-of-the-art VK-650V power plant for light helicopters, and a line of small-size engines for various types of unmanned aerial vehicles. Roscosmos State Corporation and organizations in the rocket and space industry showcased examples of current and future rocket and space technology, spacecraft, and satellites.
Russian manufacturers showcased civilian and military UAVs at the exhibition: reconnaissance (Supercam S350, Orlan-10E, Orlan-30, Skat-350M), attack (Lancet-E system, Kub-2-2E loitering munitions), and multifunctional systems (KSI UAV with modular architecture).
"The exhibition features a wide variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, from small to large. This demonstrates that our products are in demand not only within our special military operation but also in international markets – among potential buyers who are familiar with our products and interested in them. These include countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America, and Africa," noted the First Deputy Prime Minister.
