Rosoboronexport, which is part of the Rostec state corporation, will organize a unified Russian exhibit for the first time at the UMEX and SimTEX 2026 international exhibition and conference on unmanned systems and simulators in the United Arab Emirates. At the event, which will take place from January 20 to 22 in Abu Dhabi, the exporter will present cutting-edge domestic drone solutions and spotlight the industry's prospects with foreign delegations.

"In Abu Dhabi, we are showcasing the Kub-2-2E and Lancet-E loitering munitions, which hold a record for confirmed targeted hits, as well as the Skat-350M and Supercam S350 reconnaissance UAVs. We are ready to negotiate deliveries from Russia or technological cooperation for these systems, and Rosoboronexport has already secured export contracts with partners for a number of these systems," Mikheev told reporters.

By 2030, he said, global demand is projected to surge 120% for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a staggering 400% for loitering kamikaze drones.
