BAKU — State export agency Rosoboronexport (a subsidiary of Rostec State Corporation) is leading a unified Russian national pavilion at the 6th Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition (ADEX 2026) at the Baku Expo Center (September 30 – October 2, 2026). The showcase features advanced land combat systems, precision-guided tactical missiles, uncrewed aerial vehicles, electronic warfare suites, and infantry arms tailored for regional allies and international procurement authorities across the South Caucasus, Central Asia, and broader export markets.
The Russian exposition centers on combat-proven uncrewed strike platforms developed by ZALA Aero Group (a subsidiary of Kalashnikov Concern), alongside Kalashnikov’s updated small arms lineup, including the AK-15/AK-15K tactical assault rifle series and PPK-20 submachine gun. In addition, Rosoboronexport’s multi-domain portfolio highlights heavy tactical strike platforms, including the Iskander-E tactical ballistic missile system, Su-35 multirole combat aircraft, and counter-UAS electronic warfare systems.
