Russia’s state defense company Rostec plans to showcase an export variant of its Su-57 fifth-generation stealth fighter at the Egypt International Airshow 2026 in El Alamein, with the presentation tied to a new package of equipment. Egypt Independent reports that a Rostec-linked upgrade of the Su-57E is set to debut there with previously unseen armaments.
The PravdaReport account adds that the Su-57E appearance will also be paired with a new family of stealth unmanned aerial vehicles designed to be deployed from the fighter. Both sources point to the same dates—September 8–10, 2026—and the same venue at El Alamein International Airshow. PravdaReport says Rostec has characterized the drones as low-observable and designed for longer range and higher speeds, with multiple wing configurations for different missions.
While both articles align on the planned Su-57E export showcase and the airshow timeframe, they differ on emphasis: one foregrounds an upgraded armaments package for the aircraft, while the other foregrounds the global debut of stealth drones intended to work in tandem with the Su-57E.
