A Russian firm will disclose information about a new mobile short-range air defense system based on the Strelets launcher at the upcoming Aero India 2011 air show.
“The [Kolomna-based] Engineering Design Bureau will present for the first time details of a new ultra short-range air defense system based on the Strelets launcher for the portable Igla missiles,” Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation said in a statement on Friday.
The Strelets multiple launcher unit was developed for use with the 9M39 Igla (NATO SA-18 “Grouse”) and Igla-1 (NATO SA-16 “Gimlet”) missiles. It provides an automatic remote launch capability in either single-round or salvo modes when mounted on various launch platforms.
Aero India-2011, which will be held in the southern city of Bangalore on February 9-13, will attract the record number of over 600 manufacturers, vendors and suppliers from 63 countries.
Russia will be represented by 35 companies, including MiG, Sukhoi, Almaz-Antei and Engineering Design Bureau.
