"Will cover key areas": Russian anti-aircraft guns "Dzhigit" will compete for a foreign customer
The new anti-aircraft launchers developed by the Russian defense industry can go to foreign troops. The Royal Thai Navy announced its intention to purchase five mobile complexes using an all-wheel drive 4x4 armored vehicle as a chassis.
The potential deal, which is expected to be closed within a year, is valued at 246 million baht ($ 8,2 million). Anti-aircraft missile systems are supposed to be used to defend the country's coast.
- noted in the procurement documents of the military department.
As indicated in the Thai edition of TAF, currently the army is already armed with Russian Igla-S MANPADS and Chinese QW-18 and QW-2. Therefore, the struggle for a new order, involving not only the supply of air defense systems, but also the installation of anti-aircraft guns on the chassis, will unfold between them.
- indicates the Russian developer of the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau.
In addition to Dzhigit, the company offers the Strelets system, which can be used on almost any carrier.
