Russian weapons received so-called advertisement passports in 2024 that allow them to be exported, Mikheev noted.
"In 2024, Russian producers had over 30 advertisement passports made for the newest defence products. Among them are means of communication and automation, electronic warfare complexes, engineering vehicles, UAVs, including Lancet-E strike drones, air defence and anti-drone systems, such as Pantsir-SMD-E surface-to-air missile systems," Mikheev said.
Mikheev said this had strengthened Russian positions in several important segments of the global defence market, making it a leader in some of them.
"We and our partners expect effective work on bringing modern, combat-tested products to the market in 2025. This would let Rosoboronexport continue bolstering defence capablities of countries that are friendly to Russia," Mikheev stated.
Mikheev spoke to Sputnik on the sidelines of the International Defence Exhibition IDEX-2025, which is underway in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, from February 17-21.
Rosoboronexport set up a large-scale exposition in Pavilion 10 of the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center to showcase state-of-the-art defence products.
