Visitors will see 4 naval artillery systems, 10 Russian ships and 2 ships built in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad for India and Germany. The program includes demonstration flights of Strizhi and Russian Vityazi pilots; military ships will show their capacity. Along with conferences and fora of ship-building leaders, participants will visit shipyards. “This show is unique, because the entire naval engineering chain will be demonstrated, from design to application in battle,” said the General Director of ZAO Voenno-morskoy salon.
