Foreign customers eye Russian battle-proven air defense systems — Almaz-Antey

CEO for Foreign Economic Activity Vyacheslav Dzirkaln noted that "engineers and designers carefully analyze all that is related to the use of equipment"

ABU DHABI, February 20. /TASS/. Russia’s air defense systems feature large experience of their real combat employment that its potential enemy lacks and this evokes great interest of foreign customers, Almaz-Antey Group Deputy CEO for Foreign Economic Activity Vyacheslav Dzirkaln told TASS on the sidelines of the IDEX 2025 international arms show.

"Customers display especially great interest in what has already been tested and what is already used. We have huge experience of the combat employment of this equipment in real conditions. This is what our potential enemy lacks. Yes, naturally, they supply their equipment to Ukraine and also try, in the first place, to get the necessary experience of its use. But we have placed this process on a very broad basis. These are not just trials at a proving ground, these are real combat conditions, in which engineers and designers carefully analyze all that is related to the use of equipment," the Almaz-Antey executive stressed.

"All closely watch" the combat use of Russian equipment, he added.
