Russia to feature pilot’s life support and defensive suite at Dubai Airshow

Russian Aviaton » Friday October 13, 2023 13:32 MSK

Russia’s state arms seller Rosoboronexport (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) will feature the pilot’s indigenous life support and defensive suite at the Dubai Airshow 2023 international aerospace exhibition, the company’s press office reported on Friday.

"Rosoboronexport will demonstrate the pilot’s life support and defensive suite at the Dubai Airshow 2023 international aerospace exhibition. The new export product is designed for the flight personnel of fixed-and rotary-wing aircraft who have ejected or found themselves on terrain after an emergency landing. It was designed by Rosoboronexport specialists in interaction with pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces and also with specialized gear producers based on the experience gained in real combat conditions. The suite is similar to the gear used in the Russian Armed Forces but is composed of the products of alternative manufacturers," the press office said in a statement.

"At the Dubai Airshow 2023, we will feature for the first time this unique suite fully made of indigenous materials that have been battle-tested," the press office quoted Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev as saying.
