17 November

Russia and the United Arab Emirates are engaged in substantive dialogue concerning supplies of modern military equipment, joint development projects, and after-sales support services, the head of Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugaev told TASS at the Dubai Airshow 2025.

 

"Military-technical cooperation between Russia and the UAE is developing systematically and demonstrates mutual benefit," Shugaev stated. "We maintain constructive dialogue across a broad spectrum – from supplies of modern weaponry and military equipment to their joint development and post-sale maintenance organization."

 

He emphasized that the partnership "is founded on principles of mutual respect, transparency, and consideration of each nation's interests," noting the UAE's longstanding role as a reliable partner in this sphere, particularly regarding ground forces equipment and air defense systems.
