What happened

Russia’s Almaz-Antey Group will showcase shipborne Rif-M, Shtil-1 and Resurs surface-to-air missile systems at the Fleet 2026 International Maritime Defense Show, the company’s press office reported on Monday.

Why it matters

"In its exposition, Almaz-Antey will provide information on Rif-M, Shtil-1 and Resurs surface-to-air missile systems mounted on ships of various displacements," the press office said in a statement.

Common ground

The Rif-M anti-aircraft missile system is capable of exercising control of various types of surface-to-air missiles in a combat environment, which allows for the optimal use of the ammunition load in accomplishing tactical objectives, it explained.

Perspective signals
