The federal state-run integral enterprise Ros-Oboron-Export has unveiled more than 50 different weapons systems and combat-hardware models at the sixth, IDET-2001, arms fair that opened in Brno (Czech Republic) today; that exhibition also offers security systems and specialized data-exchange networks. According to the Ros-Oboron-Export press center, Russian defense factories have attended four previous IDET exhibitions, highlighting the latest achievements of Russia's military-industrial sector. The Russian display offers mock-ups, boards, video films, posters and booklets.
