All arms themselves, not knowing against whom.

[Russian Alex]

It would be necessary, and the Kurds toss. It is needed.

[Dembel77]

As they say, any whim for your money!

[crazyrom]

Batallon de apoyo logistico del ejercito

Well, imagined! what language is it? Why invent something?
In Brazil, the Portuguese, if this battalion exists, it will be written like this: Batalhão de Apoio Logístico do Exército

And of course, plus, at least something has been put, now we are waiting for the shells

[tilovaykrisa]

And it will fall from the Kurds to the needles and will fly to our dryers, the idea of ​​the great Kurdistan also flies there, so hell is such a supply, and in a country where there are a lot of wild monkeys you can even sell our willows in the army and it’s already the last century, although better than any stingers.

Everyone knows everything perfectly, and those who are not armed are dismantled for parts.

Yes, it is clear against whom. In this world, only one country likes to bomb with "good intentions" for the triumph of democracy

[Maxom75]

Democracy or crap?))

By the way, if memory serves, modification "Igla-S" has the ability to shoot down small drones, as well as ignore heat traps emitted by aircraft.

[KVIRTU]

"Igla-S" (S - the designers meant super) was put into service in 2002, developed from 96th, the issue with small drones was not so acute then. And now it will be a little expensive for a small UAV to spend it, and the seeker is unlikely to will take over.
Although ... I had to service them (without C) in a mobile workshop, the rocket is installed there on a special. a table with a connector, as on the 9P516 launcher itself, is also tested "dry", without filling the system with liquid nitrogen - it tracks a cigarette from about 10 meters, which surprised.
(A cigarette is not included in the maintenance schedule )
And compared to the usual "Igla": a proximity laser fuse and a system for controlling the beam of dispersion of warhead fragments, depending on the angle of approach of the missile to the target, the warhead is 1,5 more in mass, the range is up to 6 km versus 5,2, + the fuel detonates at the moment of detonation.

[KVIRTU]

Apparently they know who they are against: the first time they bought Igla back in 94 (56 Igla-S portable anti-aircraft missile systems (MANPADS), equipped with 112 surface-to-air missiles. The deal amounted to about $ 10 million) ...
Then more and more. Well, what? Earnings to our defense industry.

[Irokez]

Well sent so sent. Now, Latin America will possess them throughout the territory because they can also be sold and resold there. And there are also a lot of drug cartels to which they can get and apply against government troops.
The main thing is that everything remains under control.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

I don’t even know how to react ... the deal itself did not bring any special benefits, and Brazil, as it were, is not a strategic partner, it turns out a small "wholesale" of some kind ...

If BB is "tagged" we will soon find out who the real customer was.
Weapons of strict reporting. They said that they would be supplied under contracts in conjunction with other air defense systems. Maybe this is the reason.

[31rus]

Dear, you are wrong, it all starts with a small one, the main thing is to establish cooperation, continue to offer various supply and service schemes, familiarize yourself with new or necessary Brazil systems, weapons, equipment, now everyone is re-imagining, so why not gain a foothold in this market, and this and training of specialists and other contacts, shorter than normal cooperation, and eventually influence is possible

MANPADS is a controversial product for sale to no one knows, where is the guarantee that the "needle" will not be thrown on a civilian board, in some "friendly" country? and even with the level of the famous Latin corruption, this is quite likely.

Yeah - they wanted "Armor" - big, but five, and bought "Arrows" - small, but three ...

[Tusv]

It’s clear that Brazil has a little gold reserves at Pantsiri, and the Olympics must be protected from the terror

That's right, and "Igla-S" is suitable for closing the sky at low altitudes

ours in Syria have shown from what heights they can work effectively ... who is now flying at "low level" in the zone of possible destruction of MANPADS?

"Igla-S", suitable for closing the sky at low altitudes

The needle is a defensive melee weapon. He cannot close the sky. Covers from the point of visual observation. No more.
So they need to buy shells

[hartlend]

This is a defensive weapon, in normal hands, of course.

[Mikhail Krapivin]

If only they ended up in Syria, they were not in the hands of the barmaley. And it will be such an evil irony ...

[Magic archer]

As I understand it, Willow is still classified under the heading? However, it’s a completely normal situation. Let our troops arm them with it from the beginning and only then you can sell

"..... A portable anti-aircraft missile system (MANPADS). Developed by the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau (Kolomna), chief designer - Fokin R.V., as a modernization of the 9K38 Igla MANPADS. MANPADS was created using the best practices and experience of creating MANPADS "Igla-D" with a collapsible launch tube and "Igla-N" with a new, more powerful warhead. A feature of the complex is the possibility of all-round destruction of targets, including small-sized (cruise missiles, UAVs). State tests were completed in December 2001. Armament of the Russian Armed Forces Serpukhov plant "Metallist" has been serially producing the complexes (Kovrov) since December 1, 2004 (idelf.ru); aerodynamic rudders, etc.) since 2008 at least.

For the Igla-S complex, the following components of the air defense missile system have been developed again: GOS, main engine, rocket instrument compartment, steering gears, warhead, starter engine, tube, battery, etc.
Composition of SOSN 9S520:
- portable electronic tablet 1L110-2 with a radio station and a terminal (provides receiving and displaying information about targets from an air defense control center);
The mass of the tablet is 7 kg
Dimensions of the tablet - 345 x 240 x 170 mm
Tablet power supplies - 6 elements of type A343
Transfer time from traveling to combat - 3 minutes
- a group of support devices spaced up to 50 m and equipped with MANPADS mounts and target designation devices;
- three individual means TsU 9S520.01 with angular position sensors with a 1PN72M "Mowgli" night vision sight in the places of MANPADS shooters;
- test equipment 9U56;
- packaging for the transport of means of PINE;

[triglav]

A contract is a contract. By the way, Brazil is a member of the BRICS. So everything is correct.

Who knows what "C" means I can't understand in any way, according to one information "C" is the letter "super" on the other "C" is folding. Whom to believe?

[kapitan92]

"..... MANPADS was created using the developments and experience of creating Igla-D MANPADS with a collapsible launch tube and Igla-N with a new, more powerful warhead." .....

[kil 31]

So does the Needle Super?

[kapitan92]

Yes sir! Igla-S (GRAU index - 9K338, “Igla-super”, according to the classification of the US Ministry of Defense and NATO - SA-24 Grinch.
