The fourth land and naval systems show, Defexpo India 2006, opened in the Indian capital of New Delhi Tuesday.
The opening ceremony gathered the military Indian leadership, foreign diplomats and about 30 delegations from participant countries, with Indian Defense Minister Pranab Mukherjee delivering the opening speech.
Russia was represented by Ambassador Vyacheslav Trubnikov, and the chief delegate and a senior official in charge of military and technological cooperation, Vyacheslav Dzirkaln.
Speaking ahead of the exhibition, Dzirkaln said that Russia expected to conclude specific agreements with India on joint projects, which would continue the two countries' long history of military cooperation. They are currently working on contracts worth $10 billion. Notable deals in recent years include a contract for the modernization and sale of the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier and deals on Sukhoi fighters and the T-90 battle tank.
Earlier, Russia's main defense industry exporter, Rosoboronexport, said the country would exhibit a variety of new weapon systems at the arms show.
For the first time, Russia, which has attended the show since its inauguration in 1999, will exhibit the Club M mobile high-precision coastal cruise missile system equipped with 3M-14E, 3M-54E and 3M54E1 missiles, which are capable of destroying naval and land targets, the source said.
