According to Amac News, Chemezov told the UAE state news agency WAM on the sidelines of the IDEX 2025 exhibition, which was held in Abu Dhabi on Monday, February 17, that Rostec is participating in IDEX 2025 with a wide range of advanced weapons that are in line with the latest developments on the battlefield.
Leading Russian companies, including High Precision Systems, Kalashnikov Concern, UVZ and Schwape, are showcasing nearly 200 military products.
The joint exhibition of Rosoboronexport includes armored vehicles, combat modules, artillery, ammunition, anti-aircraft systems and small arms, along with other advanced defense solutions.
Chemezov also announced a new modification of the Pantsir air defense system, developed specifically for anti-drone operations. The system, which will be unveiled for the first time at IDEX 2025, is capable of carrying 48 small missiles and effectively replaces several conventional defense batteries.
In addition, the Kornet missile system will be on display, now improved with remote control capabilities, helping to increase battlefield flexibility and troop safety, and acting as a viable alternative to field artillery.
In the aviation sector, Rostec will showcase several helicopters, including the Ka-32 fire service helicopter, known for its exceptional stability and effectiveness in urban firefighting operations.
Other displays include improved versions of the Antes and Mi-8 helicopters designed to operate in harsh desert conditions with high temperatures.
On the technology front, Chemezov said automation, robotics and artificial intelligence are key priorities for Rostec. The company has developed the Depchae multi-purpose robotic platform, a multi-purpose unmanned system capable of performing a variety of tasks, including transportation, ammunition delivery, evacuation of wounded troops and even acting as a kamikaze drone in combat zones.
In addition, Rostec has introduced the Prometheus software and hardware suite, which enables automation of ground vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery. The technology allows for remote and direct crew control, significantly increasing operational flexibility.
Beyond military applications, Rostec has also advanced AI-based solutions for the civilian sector.
Chemezov pointed to the development of driverless trucks, which are now being used for commercial transportation on the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway.
18 of these trucks are currently operating in a test mode, and the technology will soon be ready for mass production.
