Russia and UAE Expand Joint Military Manufacturing.

In the course of examining the exposition of the International Defense Exhibition IDEX-2015, currently under way in Abu Dhabi, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told media representatives about the joint development with the UAE of a 57-mm artillery system and plans for the development of bilateral cooperation.

The Minister pointed out that Russia and the UAE intend to continue the joint development of combat materiel.

“As for defense cooperation, the matter does not only regard the supplies of our armaments to the UAE, but above all the creation of joint ventures and joint products. In particular, we are now demonstrating a 57-mm artillery mount to be installed on a wheeled 8x8 chassis independently developed by our UAE colleagues,” stated the Head of the Industry and Trade Ministry.
