At the EXPOFORUM, they shoot from a virtual AK and launch drones. You can do so too

The March freak weather turned the city into the paths of the Olympic pool, and the gloomy sky discourages any desire to go outside, but your soul still wants bright emotions, does not it? Welcome to the EXPOFORUM for the Exhibition “EXPOTECHNOSTRAZH. The Day of Advanced Technologies”. For three days, Pavilion G, the passage and the parking lot of the most modern Convention and Exhibition Centre in Russia turned into a real military-patriotic park.

Firearm, military vehicles and equipment, everything can be touched, twisted, tested. For example, to hold in your hands the latest models of weapons produced by the Kalashnikov Concern and V.A. Degtyarev Plant. Or take a workshop on aiming and shooting from laser analogues of AK-74 and Makarov pistol, knocking out your conditional opponent’s equipment, using the virtual weapon.

Nearby, there are the latest models of armored vehicles. The real exclusive is the sports KAMAZ of the two-time winner of the prestigious Dakar Rally Dmitry Sotnikov. Do not miss the opportunity for feeling like a pilot or navigator of the legendary car.

For thrill-seekers, there are workshops in military medicine and first aid on realistic simulation mannequins. All injuries are visualized in detail, so the spectacle is not for the faint of heart.

You can also rattle your nerves at demonstration performances in hand-to-hand combating. The soldiers of the Rosgvardiya OMON (Special Purposes Mobile Unit) will neutralize criminals armed with knives and pistols in front of your eyes, as well as perform exciting acrobatic feats.

If you like something quieter, in the drone zone they will teach you how to control real reconnaissance drones, and specialists of the Saint Petersburg Zhukov Order Military Institute of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation will conduct psychological training.

The exhibition will also delight animal lovers. Service German Shepherds regularly carry out the commands of the dog handlers, neutralize robbers, find explosive devices, and then flaunt in front of the public, give a pat themselves and scratch behind the ear.

Military bands of the Russian Guard from Saint Petersburg and Kaliningrad play in the passage. The musicians perform classical compositions, as well as folk songs, pop and rock hits. Including the “Blood Group” by Viktor Tsoi.

In the parking lot in front of Pavilion G, you can be treated to field cuisine in real army tents.
