"This year, Rostec will present samples of the latest weapons, including high-precision weapons and small arms, armored vehicles, warplanes and helicopters - a total of some 150 items. I’d like to note that the bulk of the products presented at the expo has either been tested in real combat conditions or is being used in the region, which is what gives Russian weapons a competitive advantage over its rivals," Rostec quoted its chief as saying.
