It should be noted that KrAZ participates in this exhibition for the first time ever. The domestic manufacturer displayed its last achievements at the booth of SRC “Ukroboronprom” together with other Ukrainian defence industry companies.
Ukrainian military vehicles, particularly light and heavy armored vehicles, sparked interest of foreign partners. Numerous attendees at the booth of “Ukroboronprom” who came to see exhibits of KrAZ throughout exhibition hours is another evidence of high demand for Ukrainian defence industry products.
According to Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council Mr. Turchinov, Ukrainian defence industry companies have been the most powerful display at IDEF-2017 throughout the whole period of Ukraine’s independence. “This year Ukraine displays at IDEF new quality never seen before, these are results of public-private partnership. There are projects funded through both ‘Ukroboronprom’ companies and private companies”, — said Mr. Turchinov.
The exhibition IDEF 2017 could be compared to worldwide renowned IDEX at Abu Dhabi and SOFEX in Jordan in terms of scale. According to representatives of “AutoKrAZ” participation at this event was fruitful for entering into new agreements, development of business with military men of Middle East and Northeast Asia.
