This marks the second time Rosoboronexport will take part in FAMEX.
The company will set up a joint expo with fellow Russian companies, including Russian Helicopters. Together, the firms will display more than 200 pieces of military equipment.
Rosoboronexport is also looking into the export potential for the Orlan-E, Orlan-10E, and Takhion unmanned aircraft systems.
The expo will also feature Pantsir-S1 gun-missile system, Viking and Buk-M2E surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), as well as Verba and Igla-S man-portable air defence missile systems (MANPADS).

Rosoboronexport expects increased demand from customers for the BTR-80A/82A personnel carrier, assorted small arms and grenade launchers, Tigr-M and Typhoon vehicles.
