Dear friends!

On behalf of Rosoboronexport, I welcome and congratulate you on the opening of the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) 2019 Exhibition. The exhibition has been held since 1991 and attracts more and more exhibitors and visitors every year – their number has already reached half a million. Russia traditionally participates in LIMA, and we are proud that interest in our country’s joint exhibit display organized by Rosoboronexport is growing every year. In Langkawi, Russian manufacturers are showcasing the full range of military products in demand in Southeast Asia, as well as the world’s bestselling items. Aircraft, helicopters, surface ships and non-nuclear submarines, as well as air defense assets stand out. Rosoboronexport’s partners appreciate Russian weapons and military equipment for their reliability, functionality and fail-free operation even under the most challenging conditions. These qualities have RUSSIA been proven in real battles during the antiterrorist operation in Syria. With such qualities and the any complexity in the territory of foreign customers, world’s best cost-effectiveness, Russia’s weapons and widely use the best offset programs. are beyond the reach of competitors.

There is no doubt that the main task of the High- Precision Weapons Holding is to strengthen the defense capability of Russia and to supply the Russian Army with the most modern and the most reliable high-precision weapons. Within the scope of the contract, the holding regularly transmits to the Russian Ministry of Defense the corresponding quantity of planned weapons. Due to the holding, the Russian Army is armed with the best weapons in the world. At the same time, it is important that the holding itself also supplies the same weapon to the world market, where it enjoys consistent success.
