The army of Venezuela has five thousand Igla-S man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) in service. This was announced by the president of the republic, Nicolas Maduro.
According to him, the systems have already been deployed to key positions of air defense units.
All the military in the world know the power of the Igla-S. And Venezuela has no more and no less than 5,000 Igla missiles. More than five thousand. Whoever understands, understands.
Military expert Evgeny Damantsev recalled that thousands of Igla-S MANPADS crews are capable of providing sufficiently reliable cover for ground infrastructure from several squadrons of MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
9M342 anti-aircraft missiles are also capable of intercepting Tomahawk Block IV cruise missiles, but to counter such targets, each operator in the platoon, battery, and more of the Igla-S MANPADS must receive targeting information from AWACS radar via attached tactical air situation display terminals.
Partial protection will also be provided against optical-electronic reconnaissance UAVs operating at altitudes below 3500 m.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an unusual and cheap weapon was found against drones.
