ABU DHABI, February 18 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will display an array of modern military technologies at an international exhibition that opened Sunday in the United Arab Emirates.

The International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) will be held in the country's capital Abu Dhabi February 18-22. Some 865 companies from 51 countries will feature their combat hardware at the exhibition.

Russia's state arms export monopoly Rosoboronexport earlier said Russian defense companies will show off a diversity of air defense complexes and radar reconnaissance systems, including the S-300PMU2, Favorite, and Antei-2500 long-range surface-to-air missile systems.

They will also display modern helicopter gun-ships and their entire line of non-nuclear powered submarines, as well as surface warships - destroyers, frigates, escort vessels and patrol boats.

The naval part of the exposition will feature information on coast-based missile and artillery systems, target identification and designation complexes, and information processing systems.

Last year, over 40 Russian defense companies and organizations displayed about 500 units of high-performance weaponry and military equipment, precision instruments, and ammunition for almost all branches of service.
