Russia’s state arms seller Rosoboronexport has aircraft contracts worth in excess of $22 billion, the company’s CEO Alexander Mikheyev told TASS on the sidelines of the International Aerospace Exhibition Dubai Airshow 2023.

"Today, Rosoboronexport’s total order portfolio for aircraft supplies exceeds $22 billion," he said.

"Contracts for the supply of combat and military transport aircraft have been concluded with 14 countries for a total amount of about $13 billion. The value of contracts for the supply of combat helicopters exceeds $5 billion. These deliveries will be carried out to 18 countries. As for aircraft engines, their supplies have been contracted to 14 countries for a total amount of $4 billion," he added.

Earlier, the head of Rosoboronexport said that the portfolio of contracts concluded as part of military-defense cooperation between Russia and foreign partners has already exceeded $50 billion. However, demand from foreign parties exceeds what the Russian military-industrial complex can currently produce, he noted. The company will fine-tune production to satisfy orders from foreign partners, "first of all, orders from the Ministry of Defense and state defense contract," Mikheyev stressed.
