This year, only the Ka-32 helicopter for firefighting was presented at the exhibition.
For the first time in the last 22 years, Russia did not participate in the Defense and Security 2023 military equipment exhibition held in Thailand.
According to RIA Novosti, unlike previous years, when Russia presented a rich selection of military equipment at the exhibition, this year one single Ka-32 helicopter was presented.
The scale model was presented at the stand of Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Management. To date, the department uses four Russian helicopters, which are designed to extinguish large forest fires.
Earlier, the White House said that the USA had spent most of the funds allocated to Ukraine.
