Due to the new dates of the Army-2019 international military and technical forum, sponsors of the St. Petersburg-based International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS) have to reschedule the exhibition. Most preferable is the first half of July, they told Mil.Press Today.

"We’re rescheduling the show, as the traditional dates (last week of July) are overlapped by Army-2019 forum. We filed an application to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to postpone the timeframes for the first half of July, though have not obtained the signed document yet", said the interviewee from Naval Show LLC.
