Craftsmen managed to synchronize the Igla man-portable air defense system (MANPADS) with a modern thermal imaging sight. The first shots of testing the novelty appeared on the Web.
The complex is capable of detecting heavy drones such as the Baba Yaga at a distance of up to 1000 m, as well as large kamikaze drones at a distance of up to 3000 m.
To save the matrix photodetector at the moment of powerful IR radiation from the torch of the starting 9M336 anti-aircraft missile engine, the lens of the thermal imaging sight has to be closed.
The Igla-S MANPADS is designed to engage all types of aircraft and helicopters, as well as small-sized air targets such as cruise missiles and drones.
Tactical and technical characteristics of the Igla MANPADS:
- Rocket body diameter — 72 mm
- Rocket length — 1.67 m
- Starting rocket mass — 10.6 kg
- Rocket warhead mass — 1.3 kg
- Complex mass in combat position — 17 kg
- Range of targets hit — up to 5.2 km
- Height of targets hit — from 10 m to 3.5 km
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia will sell engines for T-72 tanks to India for $248 million.
