United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) is showcasing its aircraft and defence aviation programmes at the El Alamein Airshow 2026 in Egypt.
The upgraded Yak-130M combat-capable trainer aircraft is being displayed in the region for the first time. The updated version features enhanced combat capabilities compared with the existing Yak-130 platform.
The Su-57E fifth-generation fighter is also participating in the airshow’s flight programme and is available for visitors to view on static display.
UAC is also presenting the S-71M warhead delivery platforms and S-71K aerial bomb, which are making their world debut at the event. The systems are intended for use with fifth-generation fighters.
The company’s aircraft and defence programmes are being presented at the UAC stand as part of the joint Russian exhibit organised by Rosoboronexport. The exhibition’s business programme includes meetings with existing and potential customers, along with presentations covering UAC’s aircraft portfolio.
Vadim Badekha, CEO of UAC, said, “North Africa is a key region for promoting our products. UAC is one of the few companies in the world with cutting-edge expertise in all segments of aircraft manufacturing, which we are demonstrating at the exhibition. We will also be showcasing, for the first time, unique air-to-air weapons.”

The El Alamein Airshow provides UAC with an opportunity to present its combat aircraft and weapons systems to customers and industry representatives from North Africa and the Middle East.
The introduction of upgraded combat aircraft and new weapons platforms also adds to the region’s future requirements for aircraft maintenance, technical support, spare parts, training and fleet sustainment as these platforms enter operational service.
