Russian defense firms showcased new military hardware at the Dubai Airshow, including an export variant of the Su-57 Felon fighter. CEO Sergey Chemezov claimed 'huge demand' for the jet, which could signal a shift in Russia's approach to export its military capabilities.

Russia is using its presence at Dubai Airshow 2025 to signal the long-delayed Su-75 Checkmate fighter program remains active. Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov said the first prototype is nearing flight testing, offering progress since Sukhoi unveiled a full-scale mockup in 2021.
