“These portable systems have already been delivered to Syria. True, earlier they were acquired by Qatar from the Sudanese army. With their help, the planes of the government were shot down aviation. In addition, FN-6 fell into the hands of the ISIS terrorist group. Now, according to some reports, the Saudi secret services are buying MANPADS from the Pakistani army, ”the article says.

Experts attribute FN-6 to third-generation complexes. “According to their characteristics, they are close to the American" Stingers "and the Russian Igla," the author notes.

According to him, Chinese MANPADS are distinguished by more sophisticated noise-free homing heads, which have little response to false targets.

"Weight FN-6 -16 kg. Rocket length - 1495 mm. The maximum speed of targets to be hit when shooting towards - 300 m / s. When firing in pursuit - 360 m / s. Range of damage: 500-5000 m. Area of ​​damage: 15 - 3500 m. Probability of loss - 70%, ”leads the publication of the characteristics of the complex.

According to the author, “FN-6 are unlikely to be able to effectively overcome such Russian aircraft protection complexes as Vitebsk, but they may pose a serious threat to Syrian aviation, which does not yet have modern defense systems against MANPADS.”

          But the United States will merge them and do not even frown; they encroached on the sacred, on the right of the USA to decide who is who and to whom what to do. And it seems to me that the United States agreed on the supply of Chinese weapons.

          "Bulletin of Mordovia", as I said earlier, was not noticed in the spread of fakes (pah-pah-pah) the information received from such a source says only one thing. The Saudis went to Va-bank ... These complexes have already appeared in Iraq and Syria, unfortunately very productive ... There is a video of the defeat of both MI-24/35 of the Iraqi army and MI-8/17 of the Syrian army. It would seem that the step on the part of the Saudis at this point in time (when there is a truce in Syria with most of the groups) is strange, especially since what kind of truce was organized with the active participation of their overseas "Patron" ... However, given the fact that the differences Between the Saudis and the Americans quite recently began to heat up, it can be assumed that such deliveries, with what not just weapons and MANPADS, and even more so almost openly, go in defiance of Washington's "Conciliatory" policy. Riyadh seems to speak to the whole world -"Who are you soaring the brains of Koziulsky? .." (x / f "Shirley-Myrli") To fight so to fight! And with your pitiful whine about a truce in the middle of the bloody Middle Eastern bacchanalia, you can stand on the sidelines, in the end -You organized it all? So, now don't figs build a chain out of yourself ... ku.
          Washington is likely to "swallow" such a demarche by the Saudis (or rather, it will understand that the SA is showing him his place).

          What is now very alarming is the presence of a considerable number of MANPADS (very good) for any NUSR and DAISH. The latest losses of the Syrian Air Force are now becoming clear and, unfortunately, they are likely to grow. Moreover, "Chinese gifts" can start "Babakhat" not only in the BV, but taking into account the highly developed logistics of terrorists in Europe and Central Asia, I generally keep quiet about Africa ...

            And maybe then the United States and Europe will not have to pretend that the Saudis are not sponsors of terrorism ... until they themselves receive broads from the freak they themselves raised on takeoff or landing in the "heart" of Europe ....

          Meaning? They have Strela-10 and S-75. What's the use of MANPADS, which they also have? The Arabs fly under interference and at 5 km +, as soon as somewhere a mistake comes out, a hole in jamming or a decrease, immediately "Successful F-16 mission to intercept the missile by itself."

            By the way, just the opposite.
            Tumble once, so that would be massive.
            And so that everything comes from the desert ...
            One hit and no sequels.
            No additional threats, no explanation.
            You have to wait half a year.
            Then explain to the whole world that there will be enough nuclear warheads for both Mecca and Medina. And at each oil terminal.
            I think that then the whole Arab world will explain to the Sauddites that Mecca and Medina are much more valuable than the heads of the ruling Wahhabi royal dynasty.

    The author is somewhat wrong. This China supplies through the "rear Cyrillic" MANPADS in black. If someone naively believes that packs are selling MANPADS to the right and left without the permission of China, then they are cruelly mistaken, without the consent of China it is impossible.

Hopefully the striped partners will try to "cleanse" them by seizing the assets stored in Matrasia. Under the guise of sanctions for 9/11 or something else (they come up with).

    They plan Kurds on duty in the BV, right there it seems like a new map was published with redistribution of borders.
    But the fockers really lost the coast. They live the concepts of the 12th century. And there is an idea that if you bomb these camel riders back into the 12th century, the world living in the 21st century will become cleaner.

    These MANPADS have a limited service life (fuel cracking in the turbojet engine), which is good. Their delivery to European penates is uncomplicated, which is bad. With a salvo of more than two - on takeoff or landing, any passenger airplane is guaranteed to be thrashed. The Europeans have a sad misfortune. Yes, and Jewish protection systems on scheduled flights against a dual-band head do not work ...
