EDITOR’S PAGE < Dear reader, The International Defense Services Asia Exhibition (DSA) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has long gained a reputation not only in Southeast Asia, but also worldwide. The world’s leading manufacturers of sophisticated weapons attempt to exhibit at it. Russian companies, too, are among them. Products from the Russian defense industry are well known in Malaysia and other countries in the region. Russia supplied the region with MiG-29 and Su-30 fighters, Ka-28, Mi-171 and Mi-35 helicopters, antiship and surface-to-air missiles, including MANPADS, armored vehicles, warships and small arms. Today the mutually beneficial cooperation with countries in the region continues. In recent years, Indonesia and Vietnam have concluded some contracts to purchase Russian Su-30MK2 multipurpose fighters for their air forces. Currently, Russian shipyards build Gepard-3.9-class frigates and Project 06361 large diesel-electric submarines for the Vietnamese Navy. At DSA 2014 Russia displays its up-to-date military equipment. The High-Precision Weapons Holding demonstrates its defense products intended for the Land Forces and the Navy. For the first time ever, one can get acquainted with Russia’s ORSIS sniper rifles. May we wish the participants and guests of DSA 2014 interesting and fruitful meetings and talks at the Russian stand, which will strengthen cooperation in the military-technical sphere!
