Russia’s Kalashnikov tests new ‘fire and forget’ missile system: video
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:10 A.M.) – The Russian Kalashnikov Foundation announced the successful completion of field tests for the Strela-10M anti-aircraft missile system at the Donguz test site in the Orenburg region.
The foundation told Russia’s Sputnik Agency: “The Strela 9M333 anti-aircraft guided missile is designed to strike low-altitude aircraft and helicopters at any time of the year, even in light of the launch of visual and other distorted elements, as well as remote-guided aircraft and cruise missiles.”
The missile has three modes of self-guiding: light waves, infrared rays and jamming, which is the most important characteristic that distinguishes it from other missiles of this class.
