At the DSA 2026 defense exhibition, Russia's state-owned Kalashnikov Group is marketing its containerized loitering munition system, the Rus-PE, to potential export customers in the Asia-Pacific region. The system is designed for rapid deployment from a standard shipping container, providing a mobile, hard-to-detect launch platform for kamikaze drones. This sales push represents an effort by the Russian defense industry to expand its footprint in a key global arms market. The offer comes amid heightened regional tensions and a global surge in demand for unmanned systems.
