Russia won the Indian tender for the supply of portable air defense systems

Russia won the Indian tender for the supply of portable anti-aircraft missile systems (MANPADS) Igla-S to the Indian armed forces, Interfax reported, citing an informed source.

Earlier, "Military Review" published news about the possible acquisition by the Indian Armed Forces of the ZRPK Pantsir-С1, in which it was said about the participation of Russia in the Indian tender for the supply of portable air defense systems.

According to the source of the publication, Russia won the tender for the supply of the Igla-S MANPADS to the Indian army, now contract negotiations are coming, he added. Earlier, the Indian television station NDTV, citing local military sources, said that Rosoboronexport and the European firms SAAB and MBDA participated in the tender for supplying the armed forces of India with portable anti-aircraft missile systems, but Russian gunsmiths offered the most favorable conditions. The Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has not yet commented on this information.

It should be noted that despite repeated statements by the West about the alleged "backwardness" of Russian equipment and weapons from "advanced" Western models, X / NUMX% of weapons and equipment of the Indian army are Russian / Soviet weapons, and Indian forces are not going to refuse the best in the world equipment and weapons.

If the Indians were going to buy from 400, then the Shell should go with a trailer .. here, joint exercises often need to be carried out during exercises, to show the advantages of our weapons ..

[Conservative]

why not willow interesting

[Mountain shooter]

Because "Verba" is already serious ... And they do not sell the latest developments for export without "cutting" ... And what is there to cut off, in MANPADS?

[parkello]

because this is the trimmed Willow .. completely kosher for the Indians)

[Berkut24]

Maybe, by analogy, they also sell the cut-off AK-103?

[parkello]

AK-308 is more suitable for them .and for special equipment AEK-971

At the expense of circumcision. Willow is something else. Besides the fact that they managed to cram the optical range in the GOS, this is a whole complex with integration into a single air defense system. In fact, they dismantled the Shell and scattered them around the fighters. And so Igla-S is a very modern MANPADS with the ability to fight with axes !!!, and the Yankees are familiar with it and have copies. That is, Hindus will not be able to transfer technology

If the Willow lower Speed, Range, Altitude and one of the three ranges of the seeker to remove ... Hkm. Needle-C and it turns out

[parkello]

well yes. she is Needle-S. it was upgraded to Verba. and the warehouses must be updated not only at the Airborne Forces. and sold to the Indians. by the way this is a very good complex. he knocks everything that flies, flutters and sneaks in the folds of the terrain. so the Indians got a good MANPADS. and we had Stingers. there the calculation consists of two, one holds such garbage, with a battery, and the other shoots, and here the shooter himself directs and shoots without illumination. presses that ball and the reagent is triggered, releases electricity and the target seeks itself.

Russia won the Indian tender for the supply of short-range air defense systems worth one and a half billion dollars.

And I think, why all the publications that the Shell is bad and shoots askew .... and the TOP is good.

Well, how to explain the difference between Thor and the Carapace? There is simply air defense within the framework of the airborne forces and military air defense. Some are armored and all-terrain vehicles, others on wheels and with a knife can be pierced. That's the whole difference between Thor and the Carapace

[Zaurbek]

Have you read about the Syrian Shell? Murakhovsky wrote ...

[Zaurbek]

https://vz.ru/news/2018/11/2/949009.html

The capabilities of the Russian self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and cannon system “Shell-C1” were criticized after being tested in a real combat situation in Syria while repelling drones' attacks.

“In Syria, it turned out that the“ Shell ”practically“ does not see ”low-speed and small-sized targets, which include military UAVs. At the same time, the complex regularly fixed false targets - flying around the base of large birds, which confused the operators, ”cited military expert, editor-in-chief of Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine Viktor Murakhovsky in his Facebook message on the telegram channel Voenzhur.

At the same time, the telegram channel notes that terrorist drones "literally" spud "the air force base in Khmeimim. Over the past 3 months alone, air defense systems have repelled at least two dozen raids by enemy drones.

In the spring of 2018, the Tor-M2U complexes were transferred to Syria. It is reported that in total from April to October 2018, the Tor-M2U complexes shot down 80 air targets, with an efficiency of 80%. In turn, the effectiveness of the use of the Pantsir-C1 air defense missile defense system for the same period was 19%.

Earlier, citing sources, it was alleged that the “Shells” performed well in repelling drone attacks on Khmeimim. In the American press, “Shell-S” was even called the ideal weapon for repelling massive attacks by UAVs. "Shell-C1" - a self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and cannon system of land and sea based, adopted for service in 2012.

Foreign media reported, citing the Syrian Center for Monitoring Human Rights, that the Khmeimim airbase of the Russian Federation was attacked using drones. Russian troops were able to destroy these drones. The RF Ministry of Defense does not yet provide official confirmation of this information.

If the carapace is not seen by drones, and the TOR has been thrown only in the spring, then with what these were shot down? Ordinary shovels bruised? The Syrian human rights monitoring center is, of course, a PR agency, but it’s far from the Russian Defense Ministry and it’s difficult to blame them for their pro-Russian position. Neither Israeli nor American intelligence confirms the low effectiveness of the Shell. Oh, these would be trumpeted about any slip. But so far the Jews rejoice only in the destroyed machine, which shot the ammunition. The constant interest of foreign buyers also indicates the effectiveness of the complex. Or, in your opinion, the mummer from tweeter knows more than the military intelligence of a dozen countries? So why is such a smart and knowledgeable person scribbling articles for a penny, and not getting rid of the loot for the position of GU analyst in colonel uniform, at least?
The Shell has a problem with mortars, but the complex has never been declared as capable of withstanding mortar shelling.

[Zaurbek]

Which is strange .... foreign operators of the UAE, for example, would have already trumpeted the cons of the Shell.

[amr]

As I understand it, and right after this news dancing !!!!!

[KVU-NSVD]

It’s not enough to win with the Indians, it is necessary to survive even before the signing of the supply contract.

[Berber]

Indians love "ritual dances" of course, but they are serious clients. No wonder everyone is fighting for their market.

[voyaka uh]

Apparently, they agreed to organize the production of Strela in India. Usually, this is the main condition.

[parkello]

most likely. but the first consignments for any from the warehouses will begin to arrive. and then there is no reason to ce produce. the main warehouses should be renewed at home ... and there may still be something they want to buy. Indians are good customers, but they really like to cry in a waistcoat, sort of like their own, and then again let them blather. mol, and you could do better to me) and part of the payment is mango juice ... and tea.)) which is not a pity for example to give) but of course funny)

[voyaka uh]

All right. They want to buy - to your health!

[parkello]

Yes, of course, they are healthy, they have Pakistan nearby, not at all calm .. all Bangladesh and China .. so the Indians have a good sense to buy, but they are mean .. meaner Alexey and I are with you.

[Wolf]

After SA India, they themselves are probably the biggest buyer of imported weapons in the world. Plus 1,2 billion population. Providing their army with boots will already syrially load the industry leader of the State. When they tortured DRY in SU 30 and demanded that they integrate different suppliers from the West, DRY actually played. He brought to mind the proven technology of modularity. They will torture what is required, or at the end it raises the level of technology and production. They didn’t catch up with Sazhaleniu on the rationale for after-sales service of the equipment, but rather the slate pie itself, the very profit dengue itself. If you do not believe it, ask the car manufacturers. Sale of spare parts is beaten by itself. Working with Hindusim is always welcome in Russia, it pays well, orders more, and most importantly, it requires production technology and ability to cope with problems.

[Incvizitor]

Well, with these Indians, it is still not clear that they will break again, but in general, why not "willow"? Something about her has hardly been heard recently.

[Vasyan1971]

Well, all Indians, wait for sanctions. Perhaps draconian.
