The use of Russian weapons in real combat has increased the interest of Western buyers in the products of the Russian military-industrial complex, and has also made NATO member countries think. This was stated by Vladimir Artyakov, Deputy Head of Rostec.
He cited the duel between the Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile and the MIM-104 Patriot SAM system as an example. According to Artyakov, the American complex "stopped" the Russian missile only with its body.
And such confrontations do not go unnoticed
The Rostec representative stressed that since February 2022, demand has grown for Su-35 fighters, Ka-52 attack helicopters, T-90 tanks, TOS-1 and TOS-2 flamethrower systems. In addition, the effective use of the Msta-S self-propelled guns and Kub-E drones has attracted the attention of potential buyers.
The equipment used in combat has an advantage over competitors in the international market, since its capabilities are demonstrated in real conditions, and not in the numbers of presentations, he summarized.
Earlier it was reported that the nuclear cruiser "Emperor Alexander III" launched a ballistic missile in the Kamchatka region as part of the tests. The range of this missile is about 8 thousand km.
