Latin American countries are also likely to become interested in T-90S main battle tank and BTR-80 and BTR82A armored personnel carriers as well as in the Russian anti-missile systems.

Rosoboronexport will also be showcasing an "Integrated security systems" project offering solutions to ensure cybersecurity as well to establish control over sky and coasts, state borders, large municipalities and other objects.
