OREANDA-NEWS. September 11, 2015. This exhibition is held every other year in Nizhny Tagil. It is a large-scale venue for demonstrating the latest Russian weapons, and it invariably generates considerable interest, as we can see today.

This year’s exhibition has attracted the largest number of participants ever. Over 60 countries, or nearly one-third of the world’s nations, have sent delegations here. We see representatives from 160 major Russian and foreign companies from Turkey, the Republic of Korea, France, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. We are certainly happy to see so many foreign representatives. It is evidence of the considerable interest in the exposition and in our weapons.

The exhibition in Nizhny Tagil is also a very interesting and complex military show, although it’s not staged for the sake of demonstration. Experts value this exhibition for its multi-format nature, for combining business and information programmes, for giving professionals access to everything Russia has created for the defence of its borders and the borders of its partners, for promoting our defence products on the domestic and foreign markets and for strengthening military and technical cooperation.
