Positioned as the largest airshow in Asia, the Singapore Airshow has become a 'must attend' event for aerospace and defense industries worldwide. This year's event reflected the strength of the Asian defense markets and rebound in commercial aviation.
East Asia is also the largest export market for Israel defense exports. Past achievements were reflected in the static display, where airborne early warning aircraft, several generations of air defense systems, and UAVs were on display.
Inside the exhibition halls, at the Israeli pavilion organized by the national defense export agency SIBAT, Israel's top four defense primes outlined their products and strategies for the coming years.
