Under Shadow of Ukraine War, Rosoboronexport to Display 'Battle-Tested' Weapons at ARMY-2023

A range of “battle-tested” weapons will be showcased by Russia’s Rosoboronexport at the upcoming VIII Army 2023 International Military-Technical Forum to be held from August
14-20 at the Patriot Exhibition and Convention Center.

The company has allocated a dedicated section at its stand for weapons that have been “successful” against Western weapons, probably hinting at their performance in the Ukraine war.

"Russian weapons displayed at the Army Forum have a successful track record on the battlefield. They proved to be easy to operate and at the same time very effective against cutting-edge products from our Western competitors," said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of Rosoboronexport.

"In 2023, as part of its exhibit, Rosoboronexport has allocated a separate location for displaying such weapons. We’ll be showing our partners aircraft, air defense and electronic warfare systems, armored vehicles and tanks, artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles and counter-UAV systems, small arms and combat gear and telling them in detail about the experience of their use in combat within information provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The presented products have undergone necessary upgrades and have been retrofitted taking into account feedback from the zone of the special military operation,” he added.

Rosoboronexport said it will also hold meetings with delegations from 70 partner countries, more than 30 of which will be headed by defense ministers and chiefs of general staff. They will be given presentations of Russian military, dual-use and civilian products exhibited at the Forum, and will also be told on possible options for cooperation.
