UAC designates North Africa strategic for Russian aircraft promotion

UAC's First Deputy General Director Sergey Yarkov stated at the El Alamein Airshow that North Africa, especially Egypt, is a strategic region for promoting Russian aircraft and aviation technologies. This signals a deliberate Russian push to expand defense exports in the region, likely leveraging existing ties with Egypt. The statement is a corporate positioning move, with no specific deals announced, but it indicates a strategic focus that could lead to future contracts.
