The highlight of the first day of the expo was the presentation of «Khrizantema-S» missile system for the Ministry of Defense of the UAE. «Khrizantema-S» is world's only anti-tank missile system that can detect and destroy targets without optical visibility in smoke, fog and snowfall at any time of the day due to its radar and optical laser channels. Simultaneous operation of two channels allows the system to trace two targets and launch rockets automatically. The effective range of the system is up to 6 km.
