UAC RETURNS TO LIMA–2025, SIGNALS STRATEGIC FOCUS ON ASIA-PACIFIC MARKET

Langkawi, Malaysia – May 2025 — After a six-year hiatus, Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (PJSC UAC), part of the Rostec State Corporation, has returned to one of the Asia-Pacific region’s premier defence and aerospace showcases — the 17th International Aerospace and Marine Exhibition, LIMA–2025. Held on the island of Langkawi under the auspices of the Malaysian Ministry of Defence, LIMA remains a vital platform for engagement in both the military and civilian aviation sectors.

UAC’s presence at LIMA–2025 underscores the Corporation’s renewed commitment to the Asia-Pacific market, a region with longstanding ties to Russian aviation. The Royal Malaysian Air Force’s sustained operation of Russian aircraft, alongside deliveries to other regional forces, has laid a strong foundation for future growth and cooperation.

 

This year, UAC is showcasing a comprehensive range of aircraft models at Stand A005, including its flagship next-generation military and civil platforms. Centre stage are models of the Su-57E fifth-generation fighter, the Su-75 light tactical aircraft, the Be-200 amphibious aircraft, and the MS-21-310 commercial airliner — reflecting the Corporation’s dual-track focus on both defence and civil aviation.

 

A key highlight of the show will be the aerobatic display by the famed “Russian Knights” demonstration team, flying the advanced Su-35S multi-role fighters. Their participation not only exemplifies the capabilities of Russia’s latest combat aircraft but also enhances the visibility of UAC’s cutting-edge technologies in a competitive global market.

 

“The Asia-Pacific is one of the most strategically important regions for UAC,” a Corporation representative stated. “We are actively ramping up our efforts here, aligning with growing demand across the military and civilian segments.”

 

With its re-entry into LIMA and a renewed focus on innovation and regional partnerships, UAC is clearly positioning itself for sustained engagement and expansion in one of the world’s most dynamic aerospace markets.
