Why it matters
HeliRussia is the primary access point for any company seeking to engage with Russia's state-controlled helicopter procurement and MRO ecosystem, including Russian Helicopters (Mil/Kamov), Rosoboronexport, and federal aviation agencies. The government decree authorising military product demonstrations gives the show a formal dual-use mandate, making it relevant for suppliers of avionics, propulsion, simulation, and UAS systems. Despite Western sanctions limiting direct participation, the show remains a key intelligence-gathering venue for tracking Russian rotorcraft development and identifying third-country supply-chain actors.
About
HeliRussia is Russia's only dedicated international helicopter industry exhibition, covering the full spectrum of rotorcraft products and services from design and manufacture through to operation, and now including unmanned aerial vehicles and air mobility. Held annually at Crocus Expo IEC near Moscow, it is organised by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade under a Government of the Russian Federation decree, which also authorises the display of military-purpose products. The event combines a trade exhibition with a structured business programme of conferences, panel discussions, and presentations, and has been running since 2008.

The dominant exhibitor is Russian Helicopters (encompassing Mil and Kamov design bureaus and seven production plants), which serves as the show's perennial headline partner. Western OEMs such as Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, and Bell historically maintained strong presences, though post-2022 sanctions have sharply curtailed their participation. The show retains a dual-use character, with Rosoboronexport displaying military rotorcraft and UAS copters featuring regularly since at least 2021.
