United Aircraft Corporation (a part of Rostec) will present its key projects at the Dubai Airshow 2025. The upgraded Yak-130M combat trainer aircraft will make its world premiere on the static display. The updated aircraft boasts enhanced combat capabilities.
The 5th-generation Su-57E fighter aircraft will demonstrate its capabilities during the air show's flight program. Spectators will be able to see completely new aerobatic maneuvers. Visitors will also be able to familiarize themselves with the aircraft at the static display. Additionally, the upgraded IL-76MD-90A(E) heavy transport aircraft will be on static display. This transport aircraft is a major upgrade of the proven Il-76, but despite its external similarities, it is fundamentally different from its predecessor. The SJ-100 and MC-21-310 projects will also be on display at the UAC stand as part of the joint Russian exhibit organized by Rosoboronexport.
The exhibition features a comprehensive business program, including meetings with current and potential customers and presentations on a range of products.
"The Middle East is a key region for promoting our products. UAC is one of the few companies in the world that possesses advanced expertise in all segments of aircraft manufacturing, which we are demonstrating at the exhibition," noted Vadim Badekha, UAC CEO.
Demand for UAC products in the combat aviation segment remains high. Moreover, interest globally, and in the Middle East in particular, has increased significantly due to the successful use of aircraft in real combat conditions. Russian equipment is demonstrating its high combat and flight performance qualities. The air show's flight demonstration program will feature a performance by the Russian Knights aerobatic team on the new, highly maneuverable Su-35S and Su-30SM multirole fighters.
