Russia's leading position on the global arms market is again hitting the headlines, with the country's arms exports totalling a record 14 billion dollars in 2012. The multibillion budget of Russia's new contracts clearly shows - local arms and military equipment are cutting-edge and well sough-after across the world.
Tank manufacturing is where Russia stands head and shoulders above all other arms exporters. Almost twenty nations - in twenty years - have acquired more than 2000 tanks produced in Russia.
Unwavering government support together with an unprecedented modernisation programme for Russia's major arms manufacturers provide a clear sign that the country's order list for arms and military equipment will only expand. It is also an indication of Russia's wholehearted determination to meet the increasing needs of her partner countries in ensuring their national security.
Russia Arms Expo is a bold step towards delivering this goal. A unique, state-of-the-art format for live demonstrations, RAE includes 150 minutes of breath-taking battle simulation tests of all new armed vehicles on four successive days. It is an intensive conference programme with a close look at facts and trends in arms manufacturing.
RAE is your new access code to the global arms market.
