ROSOBORONEXPORT STATE CORPORATION
AT SINPRODE 2006 SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBITION IN ARGENTINA
SINPRODE 2006 symposium with exhibition dedicated to research and production activities for defence is to be held in the capital of Argentina – Buenos Aires, from 27 September till 1 October 2006. Its organisers are the Ministry of Defence and the Joint Staff of Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic. The symposium and exhibition have been held since 2000 with the purpose of encouraging arms designers and manufacturers from Argentina and other countries to take part in providing logistical support to the national defence.
Although SINPRODE is not yet as famous as Chilean FIDAE and EXPONAVAL, Brasilean LAD or Mexican AEROEXPO are, it shows fast progress.
In 2000 SINPRODE symposium hosted only 400 specialists from 60 Argentine companies, whereas in 2005, only five years later, it was complemented with the exhibition and attracted 1,151 companies with almost 4,000 participants, 90 of whom came from 26 foreign countries. SINPRODE 2005 counted 258 stands erected in the area of 24,000 sq.m., 50 presentations and 75 round-tables, and some 37,000 visitors.
This year SINPRODE will host a seminar on unmanned aerial vehicles development and applications. Beside that, participants to the symposium will discuss problems related to humanitarian disaster relief and UN peacekeeping operations.
Rosoboronexport State Corporation comes to SINPRODE for the 4th time, bringing more than 200 items of Russian-made armaments and military equipment in models, billboards, posters, promotional prints and videos at its stand.
The Land Forces part of the Russian exposition presents the T-90SK main battle tank, BTR-80, BTR-80A and BTR-90 armoured personnel carriers, BMD-2, BMD-3, BMP-3, BMP-3K and BMP-3F armoured combat vehicles, Smerch multiple launch rocket system, Iskander-E theatre ballistic missile system, anti-tank missile systems, and Krasnopol, Gran and Kitolov guided weapon systems, as well as automobiles. Seeing that Argentina and other countries in the region show interest in substituting local assembly production for direct imports of military equipment,
Rosoboronexport promotes the Programme for assembly production of armoured personnel carriers based on the BTR-80 APC. (no nos vendria nada mal) :) :)
The important part of the Land Forces exposition is devoted to small arms, including the world’s best Kalashnikov assault rifles. Rosoboronexport is known to be taking active measures to prevent illegal production of Russian weapon brands in the international arms market. Usually low-quality, such pirated military items not only damage the reputation of Russian-brand weapons and economic efficiency of Russian producers, but also endanger health, and even life, of servicemen in countries procuring them.
The Air Force part of the exposition covers a wide range of military aircraft, including Sukhoi-family fighters, Il-76MF operational-strategic air transport, Il-114MP multi-purpose patrol aircraft, and Yak-130 trainer. Russian helicopters are as much represented: from military transport Mi-17PI and Mi-17V-5 quite popular in the region, Mi-35M transport-combat and Mi-26 heavy-lift cargo helicopters to naval helicopters such as Ka-27PS shipborne search and rescue and Ka-31 radar picket helicopters.
Armed helicopters are ideally suited for carrying out patrol missions over vast and sparsely populated Argentine pampas covering nearly a quarter of its territory. Proposals for their delivery are completed with technical training facilities for Mil-type helicopters.
The Air Defence part provides data on short-range air defence assets, such as the Igla man-portable air defence system with the Dzhigit launching support pedestal, Tunguska-M air defence gun-missile system, Tor-M1 air defence missile system, and upgraded ZU-23M1 anti-aircraft gun mount. Information also will be available on the medium-range Buk-M1, and long-range S-300PMU2 Favorit and S-300VM Antey-2500 air defence missile systems. During the exhibition Rosoboronexport plans to make presentations of the Gamma, Nebo, Kasta, and other types of radar systems.
A plenitude of submarines, ships and boats, as well as naval weapons, will be displayed at the Naval part of the exposition. Specialists would be most certainly attracted by the Murena-E landing air cushion craft, Mirazh patrol boat, and Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles. Shallow-draft armoured boats with powerful armament operating in close cooperation with helicopters are best of all suited for monitoring water bounderies in the country with a complex river network and borders often running along river fairways.
Russian defence industry is represented at SINPRODE 2006, besides Rosoboronexport State Corporation, by Novosibirsk Instrument-making Plant with night and daytime sights, surveillance and reconnaissance devices, laser simulators for fire and target hit scoring.
Visitors will be able to get detailed information about latest developments in Russia’s military-technical cooperation with Latin American countries and the most prospective offers made by its defence industry at the regional arms market, through two collaborative media projects initiated by Rosoboronexport. Special issues of two magazines will be distributed for the first time at SINPRODE 2006: Russian magazine “Miltary Parade” edited in Spanish, and Spanish magazine “Defensa”. Also for the first time, two documentaries about the arms exhibition “Nizhny Tagil 2006” and a mobile field hospital will be demonstrated at Rosoboronexport’s stand.
An inter-governmental agreement on military-technical cooperation signed by the Russian Federation and the Argentine Republic in 2004 set up a solid legal base for joint efforts in this area. Russian prime-minister M.E. Fradkov’s visit to Buenos Aires made several months ago, and his talks then have testified to the two countries’ consensus on the need for closer military ties. Mrs Nilda Garre, the Defence Minister of the Argentine Republic , has met with high-ranking Russian officials several times this year – in January, April and August, to discuss prospects of the Russian-Argentine miltary-technical cooperation. Her forthcoming visit in Moscow at the end of this year on invitation of the Russia’s Federal Service for Miltary-Technical Cooperation is expected to help secure understandings already reached and move the collaboration into the practical plane.
Rosoboronexport State Corporation considers SINPRODE 2006 symposium and exhibition an excellent venue for establishing new contacts and long-term cooperation with South American military, as well as industrial organizations interested in acquiring modern defence and dual-use technologies.ç
