Modern guided aviation missiles designed to be integrated into the 4++ and 5 generation fighter aircraft armament complexes of both Russian and foreign production will also be demonstrated.
"Among them are the RVV-MD2 and RVV-BD missiles that have proven their high effectiveness in real combat conditions for hitting air targets, the X-35UE for hitting warships and transport vessels, the X-38MLE for high-precision destruction of ground targets, the X-58USHKE anti-radar missile for hitting radiating radars of anti-aircraft missile systems and systems, as well as the new-generation X-69 stealth cruise missile. In the special aviation segment, Rosoboronexport will present the IL-78MK-90A tanker aircraft, which can be quickly converted into various variants during operation: transport, sanitary, fire-fighting and medical hospital," the company said.
They reported that new products await the guests of the Russian exposition in the segment of aircraft engines.
